Verujem da bi Rusi mogli u kratkom roku da krenu sa proizvodnjom Ka-50, ukoliko bi bilo zainteresovanih kupaca iz inostranstva.
Mislim da obrazloženje o nemogućnosti jednog člana posade da sve zadatke obavlja sam, ne stoji. Ako takve zadatke može da obavlja pilot Su-25 i to pri većoj brzini, onda ni za pilota Ka-50 ne bi trebalo da predstavlja problem. U neuspehu uvođenja u serijsku proizvodnju Ka-50 je verovatno zaslužan jak lobi Mil-a.
Објављен разлог удеса Ка-52 са бројем 52, од пре скоро три месеца.
До удеса је дошло због квара на команди управљања горњим ротором. Насталог услед фабричке грешке.
Такође је извршена и контрола на свим хеликоптерима тог типа.
Koliko ima odredjenih prednosti tako ima i manu u komplikovanosti izrade ...
Citat:Like other Kamov helicopters, it features Kamov's characteristic contra-rotating co-axial rotor system, which removes the need for the entire tail rotor assembly and improves the aircraft's aerobatic qualities—it can perform loops, rolls and "the funnel" (circle-strafing), where the aircraft maintains a line-of-sight to the target while flying circles of varying altitude, elevation and airspeed around it. Using two rotors means that a smaller rotor with slower-moving rotor tips can be used, compared to a single-rotor design.[citation needed] Since the speed of the advancing rotor tip is a primary limitation to the maximum speed of a helicopter, this allows a faster maximum speed than helicopters such as the AH-64. The elimination of the tail rotor is a qualitative advantage, because the torque-countering tail rotor can use up to 30% of engine power. Furthermore, the vulnerable boom and rear gearbox are fairly common causes of helicopter losses in combat; the Black Shark's entire transmission presents a comparatively small target to ground fire.
Kamov Supplements The Black Shark With An Alligator
Citat:Week of January 13, 1997
Last month the Kamov design bureau showed off its latest helicopter, the Ka-52 Alligator, outside the country for the first time during Air India 96 in Bangalore. The appearance of the Alligator was not a surprise, though, because the aircraft had been unveiled at the Moscow Air Show in September 1995, where the Ka-52 was exhibited in the shape of a full-scale mock-up. The aircraft shown in India is the first Ka-52 built. According to Kamov, it will have its maiden flight later this year.
