Mi-26 HALO Transport Helicopter

Mi-26 HALO Transport HelicopteMi-26 HALO Transport Helicopte
The Mi-26 transport helicopter, most heaviest and powerful helicopter in the world, was designed to carry large loads up to 20 tons. It is the result of a specification in early 1970 a transport helicopter whose empty weight, without fuel, was no more than half of its maximum takeoff weight. Can be used for construction projects ranging from bridges to power transmission lines. The combination of high capacity and high cruise speed makes the use of the helicopter of economic efficiency.

The Mi-26 is the first helicopter with an eight-bladed main rotor which is mounted above the center fuselage of a hump. Two turboshaft engines are mounted on the top of the cab with air intakes above all, and behind the cockpit and exhaust ports on the sides of the engines. The long, bus-like body with fixed three candles landing gear wheels of the nose and rear, with a raised section in the back and round nose and cockpit intensified. The tail is swept with a slightly tapered fin with large rotor on right side. The floors are sharp and low face mounted on the leading edge of the fin.

MI-8 HIP Multi-Role Transport Helicopter

MI-8 HIP Multi-Role Transport HelicopterMI-8 HIP Multi-Role Transport Helicopter
The MI-8 HIP is a multi-role transport helicopter capable of carring transport troops and supplies as well as performing attacker armed with rockets and guns. It is often used to resupply guerrillas, insert detachments or provide air support to attacking units. Designed as a transport helicopter, the Mi-8 proved a multi-purpose machine. The suspension of external cable, equipped with the device for measuring weight, can be transported large loads of up to three tons. If necessary, it became both combat, rescue helicopters and artillery observation.

The large, five-blade main rotor is mounted on the engine in the midsection, while carrying a weapons platform mounted on the lower half of the body. External stores are mounted on weapons racks on each side of the fuselage. The C has four external landmarks HIP, E HIP, HIP H, six, other variants have none. Not all available munitions used at the same time, the mission determines the configuration of weapons. Two turboshaft engines are mounted on the top of the fuselage with two round air intakes just above the cockpit and rounded exhaust ports aft. The Mi-8 is capable of single-engine flight in case of loss of power from one engine (depending on aircraft mission weight) because of a distribution system of the engine load. If an engine fails, the output of other engines is automatically increased to allow continued flight.

The fuselage consists of a long, bus-like body with a rounded nose and the cockpit glass. Interior seats are removable for transporting cargo. The rear doors open deck, a winch for easy loading inside of heavy goods. Lashing floor is everywhere. The aircraft carries a rescue crane capable of 150 kg, and a harness system can load 3,000 kg. Two fuel pods are offset and mounted low in the body, which has a built in rear section and tricycle landing gear. The tail cone to the small arrow, and tapered fin with rotor on top right or left, with small flats mounted forward of the fin.

Mi-28N Night Hunter Attack Helicopters

Mi-28N Night Hunter HelicoptersMi-28N Night Hunter Helicopters
The Mi-28N Night Hunter attack helicopters have been delivered to North Caucasus military district of Russia, a military source said Tuesday. "The first six Mi-28N helicopters have been in service with combat units [in the North Caucasus]," the source told RIA Novosti, without specifying the schedule for the next installment.

The Mi-28N is the latest modification of the attack helicopter Mi-28, manufactured by Rostvertol plant in southern Russia. It is designed to conduct hunter-murderers missions against tanks, helicopters, ground forces and armor in all weather conditions. (Mi-28N Night Hunter helicopter - Image Gallery)

The Mi-28N Night Hunter is powered by two TV3-117VMA turbo-shaft engines with 2200 shaft power each. The armored cockpit protects the crew from small arms fire and absorbs the impact energy during emergency landings, ensuring a high survival. Its combat range with internal fuel tanks is 450 kilometers (about 280 miles), but with external fuel tanks can be extended to 1,100 km (680 miles), RIA Novosti reports.

Kamov Ka-31 Helix Helicopter

Kamov Ka-31 Helix HelicopterKamov Ka-31 Helix Helicopter

Kamov Ka-31 Helix helicopter is for long-range detection of air targets fixed-wing/helicopter type, including low-level detection, and the excess water of ships, monitoring and automatic transmission of data to command posts. The helicopter can significantly increase the combat efficiency of the mission of Navy ships, Army aviation and detachments of tanks, providing timely information on the activities of vessels, fixed wing aircraft and helicopters of the enemy.



Ka-31 helicopter has been developed based on Ka-27 helicopter on board ships coaxial. Under the cabin floor transport chamber is a cavity of the support mechanism of rotation to a base 6 m of light. To avoid interfering with the plane of rotation of the antenna integral legs front landing gear retracted backwards into the flight deck leading scholars and legs are retracted upward. In the stowed position, the antenna is held against the bottom of the fuselage. The search team and attack helicopter Ka-27 to combat the submarine is dismantled. Instead, a set of radio-electronics has been installed to target detection radars, the objectives of the identification and transmission of water in the air and the data of the situation based command posts ship and ashore. Ka-31 is based on ships and on land

The MI-28 'Havoc' has had a long and difficult development history, beginning within the early 80s when it competed, and lost, to the KA-50 in Soviet procurement trials. the look lived on into the mid 90s within the sort of the Mi-28N, a a lot of subtle variant, kitted out with advanced sensors (notably a radar / flir pod mounted on top of the most rotor) and fireplace control systems. The MI-28N is now in active service among the Russian military and is on the market for export.



The Havoc can carry a spread of weapons into battle. A 30mm 2A42 cannon is mounted beneath the nose and may pivot through 200 degrees. The MI-28's stub wings embody counter measure pods full of infra-red and electronic jammers, flare/chaff launchers and contain hardpoints for a spread of air-to-surface ordinance. Typical loudout includes unguided folding-fin rockets of varied calibers in underslung pods and Shturm radio-guided and/or Ataka radar-guided anti-tank missiles. as with most modern gunships, crew survivability is paramount and the Havoc 's cockpits are heavily armored.

The Russian Mi-35 Attack Helicopter is manufactured by the Mil Helicopter Plant of Moscow, in Moscow, Russia. It entered service with the Soviet Union in late 1970, and over 2,500 have been produced.

The original model (NATO codename Hind-A), designed to carry eight combat troops, was later reconfigured to assume the role of attack helicopter (Hind-D).

Later versions, Mi-24P and Mi-35P export, are also armed with missile systems for anti-tank committed to moving armored targets, gun emplacements and slow moving air targets. All versions retain the ability to transport troops.
