    Do you know sources for that evaluation?It would be interesting

    In fact i've never talked about flat yaw turn. It takes too much time and space. If i've understood well , that pilot says you can turn 180° right on the same place. I think he isn't talking about a flat turn , absurd in a mountainous area, but he's talking about a different manouvre that takes little space,which is perhaps the one i can do in dcs:bs, and just for this i wanted to know if actually there is a known maneuvre typical of this machine that allow you to rapid change the direction of flight in narrow spaces,not to simply turn your nose 180°respect to your flight path or make a turn without bank

    So the journalist translates bad what that pilot said? is this what you mean? It's possible, journalists (even the aviation journalists) say many incorrect things. And then, the extended manual doesn't cover this aspect. It states that coaxial helicopters have lower inertia moments on the yaw axis etc..it talks about funnel,accelerated turns,slant loops,flat turns....nothing about 180° turns on spot...and with the performance curves i can't understand what kind of maneuvers the Ka 50 can do

    Hey guys watch this @ 1:54 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMYj6X2-yoc i was wondering if anybody knows something more about this capability of the shark; Is it something that only coaxial rotors helicopters can do? Is it made on the horizontal plane without gain or altitude loss? In the game, i can rapidly invert flight direction by 180 degrees at a speed about 100 km/h with a rapid pedal input , entering in a slight turn and then pulling the cyclic ; This manouvre takes little time and space and it's not violent and very effective, but i don't know if this is what that kamov pilot was referring to Besides,i've found this on group Vergeev Blog: Part 3:…...."Shark outstanding maneuverability and powerful weapons ensure utmost safety of cargoes and personnel in mountaneous country. None of exisiting fight helicopters will provide similar quality of combat support. No wonder that 233's pilot has got lots of convoy escort job to accomplish. Instant 180-degree turn on spot, quick change of flight direction, incredible energy reserve, possibility of piloting on sideslip without speed loss, plus weapon power and armoring remain no chances to those engaged in partisan business - laying ambushes.”......

    It seems a Sukhoi 26

    I'm too much in love with DCS:BS and i haven't time for learn how to fly another aircraft (but for a DCS: HIND or DCS: FLANKER maybe i will find a bit of free time :D)

    Beautiful!...I miss the Starfighter...:cry:

    I also don't understand how it works . For the lead/lag dampers,maybe there could be some kind of "torsion dampers"( that's how i called it,really they don't work in torsion ) like in the EC 135 ,but they are pretty big and in the picture i posted i don't see anything similar.

    I've found this image on http://army.lv/image_descr.php?id=8538&s=510&pid=128 BTW i think that lead/lag of the blade is allowed by :

    then no answer? the matter is closed ?:dunno:

    @rhino you're welcome On that site there are also pics from my house...:D. well,not my house but i consider so,because it's since i was two years old that i frequent this airport. In these pics the an124 of Volga Dnepr resting on the Kilo Apron of the Turin airport...An incident occured, rejected take off after three engines flamed out. Probably caused by Bird Stirke http://www.avherald.com/h?article=430b4430&opt=0

    http://photo.volga-dnepr.com/gallery/?g=1&sort=rating&page=1 very good ruslan pics on this site

    I didn't understand very well...i think that the steel plates i was referring to are the strap packs mentioned by a16...because i have worked with a md 500 in a helicopter maintenance organisation,and i've seen those strap packs in the hub,and the maintenance technicians said me that those packs were made of layers of steel sheets and another material that i don't remember,and they were flexible.Since i never understand how the apache rotor hub is made,i thought it could be similar to the MD 500's one. However it seems easier to work in armies and airforces,beacuse even in the italian air force there are specialists that are employed only in some parts of the aircraft,while for the civil side in the EASA countries a maintenance guy have to work with every parts of the aircraft,and plus he has to study too many things,not always strictly linked with the job

    :D Don't worry...the questions were a "gift of welcome" for Apachedoctor,in any case your answers are well appreciated
  16. Mikoyan89
    Hi ApacheDoctor!Welcome to this great forum! Since you want to be our source for helicopter related questions,i would ask some things about the ah 64,just for start: -For the pitch/flapping movements there's a pack of steel plates like the MD500 or the rotor head includes elastomeric bearings? -Is it true that the main gearbox can work without lubricating oil for some minutes? -The tail stabilator is linked with the collective(IIRC it's so in the agusta 109A)? Sorry,but you said you'd like to help...:music_whistling::D

    According to this site, the mig 21 has been used by about 50 different airforces http://www.mig-21.de/english/default.htm

    Thanx

    Very interesting.Book title?
  20. Mikoyan89
    In my modest opinion,those big propellers are dangerous.For Rescue operations as well as passengers transport.Obviously it's only a technology demonstrator but it shows the direction taken by the designers,different from the sikorsky X2 and the kamov ka92 concept
  21. Mikoyan89
    Thanx.Do you know how does it work?For what kind of missiles is intended?
  22. Mikoyan89
    Probably for hovering flight it needs the propellers turning because they are functioning as an antitorque system

    Thanx for the link griffin.I tried to translate with http://www.translate.ru/Default.aspx/Text and for those things,that i guessed be rwr antennas,i got this: "The ultra-violet Fact direction finder Start-up of rockets"....??

    A new high speed hybrid helicopter http://www.eurocopter.com/site/en/press/Flight-testing-of-Eurocopter-s-X3-high-speed-hybrid-helicopter-demonstrator-marks-a-new-milestone-in-the-company-s-innovation-roadmap_719.html

    Maybe these are RWR aerials,i guess.2 for side,rear and front
