MI-8 Helicopter (http://www.gla.ac.uk/~woody/pics/by-woody/aviation/Mi-8.jpg)------------------------------------------------------------

The Mi-8 Transport Helicopter is the most massively produced helicopter in the world. In Soviet Union there were developed more than 50 various modifications of this helicopter and built approximately 12 000 helicopters including 3 600 built for export. These helicopters are still built at Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, Kazan Helicopter Plant and Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant. The Mi-8 Transport Helicopters took part in a great number of military conflicts all around the world including Afghanistan and both Chechnya wars. At the moment Mi-8 with it's various modifications are operational in over 50 countries of the world including some NATO countries. The helicopter has external hardpoints for external armament such as unoperated aviation missiles, bombs and a slung load. A slung load is up to 3 000 kg. Fuel is carried in two flexible internal and external fuel tanks (1 870 l capacity both). Range of flight with normal load is 465 km. However the fuel capacity can be increased up to 3 700 l for 950 km flying range. The Mi-8 "Hip" uses aviation kerosene. Helicopter has a transmission scheme very similar to the Mi-4. Fuselage is clinched from aluminum plates. Main and turn rotors have 5 and 3 blades consequently. The main rotor features hollow longeron blades made from pressed high quality aluminum alloy. Longerons are fitted with icing prevention system's heating elements operated in automatic or manual modes. All main rotor blades are fitted with pneumatic failure alarm system. The Mi-8 "Hip" Transport Helicopter is powered by two Klimov TVZ-117 type turboshaft engines. Engine air intake deflectors prevent ingestion of dust. It is also fitted with electricity generator, hydraulic pumps, cooling fan. The Mi-8 Helicopter engines are ignited by reaction starter motor which can be used as additional electricity source. In case of one of the main engine failures during flight the other main engine power is increased. One engine power is enough to keep horizontal flight without loosing altitude. This feature determines high helicopter flight safety and reliability.

MI-26 "Halo" (http://www.airforce.ru/show/gelendzhik2000/Mi-26.jpg)


The Mi-26 Heavy Military Transport Helicopter made it's first flight in 1978. This helicopter was intended to carry passengers and cargo in the cargo cabin or large cargo on the external slung. The Mi-26 "Halo" was intended to replace the Mi-6 Heavy Transport Helicopter which had lower useful cargo load and smaller cargo compartment as the analyze of the new and perspective Soviet Army infantry vehicles showed that 80 - 90% of all motorized infantry division cargo must be transported by helicopters. The Mi-26 has an 8-blade main and 5-blade turn rotors consequently. The helicopter features low weight level of the main systems and devices. The main rotor has steel longeron, fiberglass frame and special paper thinned blades. Such blade has weight of 375 kg compared with 705 kg on the Mi-6. A special titan abrasive shoes provide erosion wear protection. This method was first used in helicopter building. The Mi-26 "Halo" high fuel economy is reached by it's aerodynamic improvements and usage of the new D-136 turboshaft engine. The D-136 in it's weight to power ratio is among the best helicopter engines of the world and is unique in the fuel economy. Mi-26 has increased capacity built-in fuel tanks. Fuel capacity increased from 8 600 l to 11 600 l compared with the Mi-6 Heavy Transport Helicopter. This feature allowed to increase flying range with usual load up to 800 km.

KA-60 (http://www.military.cz/russia/air/helicopters/Ka_60/big/ka60_1.jpg)


The helicopter can carry a rifle squad with full combat gear in its passenger cabin which features a volume of 9.8 m3. Two sliding doors (one on each side of the cargo cabin) measuring 1,250 x 1,300 mm make it possible to perform embarkation/debarkation of nine troopers within 5 to 6 seconds. In the ambulance version, the Ka-60 helicopter can carry six stretchers with wounded persons and three medical attendants, as well as up to 14 sitting patients. The helicopter’s performance, reliability and power-to-weight ratio has been considerably improved in comparison with its counterparts due to an updated aerodynamic configuration of the airframe.This helicopter also includes retractable landing gear and two RD-600 engines. The helicopter can fly in a wide range of contrasting temperatures, at altitudes of up to 6,000 m and high cruising speeds to a range of 600 km. Should one engine stop during the takeoff or during regular flight, output to the other engine increases automatically (without pilot’s intervention) thus enabling the flight to continue. The helicopter is not susceptible to ice and high dust content. The main rotor blades are provided with an electrical anti-icing system, while the engine inlet devices are also equipped with a hot-air anti-icing system. The engine inlet duct is furnished with a dust-protection device. The leading edges of the main rotor blades are provided with an erosion-resistant coating.

MI-24 " Hind" (http://www.flygplan.info/images/Mi-24%20Hind.jpg)

The Mi-24 attack/transport helicopter is manufactured by the Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, based in Moscow, Russia. It entered service with the Soviet Union in the late 1970s, and more than 2,500 have been produced. It has been deployed in a number of conflicts including Afghanistan and in Chechnya. The original model (NATO codename Hind-A), designed to carry eight combat troops, was later reconfigured to take on the gunship role (Hind-D). Later versions, Mi-24P and the export Mi-35P, are also armed with anti-tank missile systems for the engagement of moving armoured targets, weapon emplacements and slow-moving air targets. All versions retain the troop transport capability. The design of the Mi-24 is based on a conventional pod and boom, with a five-blade main rotor and three-blade tail rotor. It has retractable tricycle nose-wheel landing gear. The two crew (pilot and weapons operator) are accommodated in tandem armoured cockpits with individual canopies and flat, bulletproof glass windscreens. The main cabin can accommodate eight troops or four stretchers. The helicopter has six suspension weapon units on the wingtips. The Mi24D (Mi-25) and the Mi-24V (Mi-35) are equipped with a YakB four-barrelled, 12.7mm, built-in, flexibly mounted machine gun, which has a firing rate of 4,000-4,500 rounds per minute and a muzzle velocity of 860m/s. The Mi-24P is fitted with a 30mm, built-in, fixed gun mount; the Mi-24VP with a 23mm, built-in, flexibly mounted gun. It is also armed with is armed with the Shturm anti-tank guided missile system.

MI-28 'Havoc' (http://landman.vif2.ru/images/Mi-28-3.jpg)


Mi-28 initially reflected and was developed as the two-place battle(dashing) helicopter. The founders of this machine are convinced - above a field of fight of the visible future of advantage will save two-place helicopters. The reachings of developers are reputable, the idea of the monadic helicopter is extremely tempting, but to realize(sell) it without damage to battle(dashing) efficiency it will be possible only for want of qualitatively new level of automation of flight. The first flight Mi-28 has executed in December, 1982. The new machine at once has shown itself as a high-power battle(dashing) means of the ladies of search and erasure of various battle(dashing) engineering. And first of all of tanks, BMP. The experts consider(count), that on battle(dashing) efficiency Gc-28 exceeds foreign battle(dashing) helicopters, including is wide known(!known) American Ak-64 "Apache". The helicopter is armed E0-mm with a gun similar by that is installed on battle(dashing) machines of infantry. She(it) has two rates of shooting - 800 and 300 shells one minute. And the shells are unified with overland. Except for a gun, in an arsenal MI-28 a controlled rocket «Sturm» or «Attack» of a class «air - surface» and four blocks of unguided jet shells of calibre 80 and 130 mm. On four points of the suspension the containers with bazookas, guns of calibre of 23 mm, and also bomb of calibre up to 500 kgs and other ammunition can fasten. The helicopter is equipped with the adaptation for statement a min. Search, recognition of the purpose and induction of the weapon are carried out with the help of of combined optical-aim station. She(it) has two optical and one optics - television channel (according to three, thirteen and by 20x magnification). It is important to notice, that a sight and gun work synchronously. Their mobility on an azimuth 110deg, on an angle of a place + 13d - 40d. Applies the controlled weapon the navigation officer - operator, which places in a forward cabin. The commander of crew ensures a piloting acknizšueié of the machine at extreme small height (mainly 5-15 meters) and conducts a light from the unguided weapon. If necessary pilot also can operate(control) a sight and gun. For this purpose there is special helmet system of target destination, which ensures a turn of a gun in that party, where the pilot looks. The important dignity Mi-28 - it high battle(dashing) survival. On this parameter about a Nim any helicopter of the world can not compete. It is the unique helicopter have completely armoured pilot cabin, armoured glas of a cabin the direct hit of bullets of calibre up to 12,7 mm, and also splinters of shells maintains. On Mi-28 shielding the vital elements less vital is widely applied.
The drives, for example, are carried so, that between them the main reduction gearbox has gone in. The blades of bearing and tail screws are executed completely from composite materials distinguished by high residual strength for want of damages, many aggregates and systems of the helicopter are duplicated. On the machine the original and reliable system of a passive guard of crew ensuring a survival to the pilots for want of origin of an emergency on small and extreme small heights, for want of impact about ground with a vertical velocity up to 12 m/s is applied. It a basis is made not cleaned(not removed) in flight by(with) the chassis with two-chamber amortisation proof. If the emergency has arisen at large height, the pilots can abandon the machine with the parachute. That on Mi-28 there is a special technical compartment(bay), in which two persons are easily placed, it(he) can be used for an evacuation from a field of fight of shot crew of the helicopter.
