Russia and China will create a super-heavy helicopter

The new machine will exceed its carrying capacity of the largest in its class Mi-26



Russia and China will be engaged in the development of super-heavy helicopter, carrying capacity is twice the largest in its class Mi-26.

As told reporters chairman of the Russian-Chinese Commission on preparation of regular meetings of Heads of Government, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, this is a new model helicopter, as the Chinese side requests the technical parameters that differ from the existing Mi-26.

The Mi-26 is the world's largest serial transport helicopter. Its capacity is up to 20 tons of payload.

"If the Chinese side requests the specifications, so different from the Mi-26, it seems, it should not be the Mi-26, and the focus should be on creating a super-heavy helicopter", - said Rogozin.

Dmitry Rogozin also expressed the hope that the project superheavy helicopter can be successful, and did not agree with the estimates of skeptics who claim that this helicopter is not in demand on the market today.

Chinese experts, according to him, ready to hold consultations on the draft joint development and production of super-heavy helicopter.

Recall Rogozin on Tuesday took part in a working meeting with the co-chairman of the Russian-Chinese Commission for the Regular Meetings of Heads of Government, Vice Premier Wu Yi Wang Yan.

The Russian delegation included the Deputy Minister of Economic Development, regional development, transport, agriculture, as well as representatives of other ministries and departments.

The absolute leader in flight hours in the Eastern Military District became a pilot military transport aviation aircraft AN-12 and AN-26, which flew in 2014, an average of more than 200 hours, and the maximum rate of 330 hours at the airbase crew transport aircraft stationed in Khabarovsk.

Among the crews of army aviation helicopter MI-8 MT, MI-8 AMTSH, MI-26, CA-52, the maximum flying time is more than 150 hours.

Among the pilots of fighter and attack aircraft average flying time is about 130 hours per year.

"Summing up the results of our study, we can already make certain predictions. We have described techniques can be applied not only to launch small satellites into orbit, but also for additional acceleration of supersonic aircraft, which can reach speeds in excess of 10 Mach " - reported in Rezunkov press release of the Optical Society.

According to the deputy head of the directorate of military aircraft programs of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) Vladislav Goncharenko, air force Russia to 2020, ie four years from the date of delivery of the first production cars will receive 55 fighter T-50 PAK FA. The first production delivery PAK FA in troops planned in 2016. Thus, the rate of production of the T-50 will be 13-14 aircraft per year. For comparison, the peak production of American F-22 "Raptor" was 24 aircraft (in 2007), the 100th F-22 was made at the 5th year from the date of delivery of the first production aircraft.

"Until 2020 is expected to supply 55 aircraft of this type," - he said on the radio station "Echo of Moscow".

"Who built up prototypes are tested, the state tests. This work is progressing according to schedule," - said Goncharenko.

PAK FA - Russia's fifth-generation multirole fighter developed by a division of the KLA - the Sukhoi Design Bureau, where it passes under the designation T-50. Total production is the manufacture and on KnAAZe - eight T-50, five of them are ready and fly.

Aircraft deliveries

In addition, UAC plans in 2015 to produce and transmit to the troops on state defense orders over 105 different aircraft.

"There is a total probability that the plan the state defense order in 2014 will be 100%. The plan for 2015 even higher than the figures of the year - more than 105 aircraft," - said Goncharenko.

In 2011, 19 aircraft were delivered, and every year the number of aircraft for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation doubled. In 2013, the KLA put troops in combat and 68 combat training aircraft and 1 transport aircraft.

"This year we have planned to supply about 100 combat, military transport aircraft and special. At the moment, the plan deliveries made by 80%," - he said.

The remaining equipment is already out of the shops and final assembly goes through various tests. In addition, the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant over the plan this year is to deliver two Su-34 Russian Air Force.

The development of drones

In addition, according to Goncharenko, new drums and reconnaissance drones will be established in Russia in 2018.

"Work commissioned by the Ministry of Defence. I think it's 2018," - he said.

In this direction, the KLA today is a very large-scale development, said the representative of the corporation.

"We have a direction and there are already flying new devices. And it's not air models that allow us to see the battlefield, but this applies primarily large reconnaissance, strike systems based on drones," - said Goncharenko.

He also said that the Defense Ministry signed a contract with the KLA to carry out development work to create light military transport aircraft Il-112V.

"This year contract to carry out development work on the development of light military transport aircraft Il-112V. And 2018 is already planned delivery of these aircraft to the troops," - he said.
The aircraft is planned to replace the An-24 and An-26.

"These aircraft are of different generations, they can not be compared. In IL-112V other avionics, engines, other possibilities for use. Other aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft," - listed Goncharenko, recalling that the carrying capacity of the new aircraft remains within 6 tons.

Thus, it can be used to perform tactical transport of personnel as well as light weapons and military equipment.

Late last year, Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said that the state defense order for 2014 will be allocated 7.9 billion rubles. to complete the development work on the Il-112V. According to Borisov, deliveries scheduled to begin in 2017. According to the current state armaments program, 62 of these aircraft to replace obsolete An-26.

Meanwhile, in July, the general director of "IL" Yuri Yudin said that the IL-112 will rise into the sky until November 1, 2016, "if the contract will be signed in the near future."

AVIACOMPLEX them. Ilyushin won the competition to design the light military transport aircraft in 2003. Then it was assumed that the Russian military will receive Il-112 in 2006, but the timing of the project is constantly shifted, and in 2010 the Russian Defense Ministry has ceased to finance it.

Modernization of the long-range aircraft

When upgrading replaced most critical blocks, avionics systems, as well as provided the use of new aircraft weapons / bombs /, said the representative of the corporation.

Speaking of transport aircraft, Goncharenko reminded that started a program of modernization of aircraft failure of IL-76 to IL-76MDM options.

"At this time, conducted development work, the timing of its end - in 2016 and in 2017 will already be held modernization of aircraft, which are now in the ranks of the Air Force," - he said.

IL-76MDM get new avionics, they completely replace complex avionics.

"The contract with the Defense Ministry to supply 39 Il-76MD-90A until 2020. The first machine of this year will be delivered to the troops," - reminded Goncharenko.
