No. It's classified. There is no access to any information that's needed to model its systems with any reasonable amount of fidelity.

 

Tell that to some third party devs ;-)

Interesting. Must be significantly different to the Ka-50.

 

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's because it also has naval capabilities in the anti-submarine warfare department. How'd I do?

It's more of a glass cockpit and updated sensors.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Combustion chamber too short? apparently they had to cut it short to fit the airplane; to me it looks like they cut corners to get the jet ready as fast as they could. I still think that the mig-29 rocks!

But I still would hope that this isn't the "normal" smoking behaviour of the engine: to me, it is clearly badly tuned: it is incomplete combustion and/or burning oil. Very bad for MBTO imho.

You mean MTBF, or perhaps MTBO, or perhaps TTOH?

If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

Russian turbine engines tend to drain excess fuel directly into the exhaust stream, which is what causes the smoke effect. More excess fuel, more smoke. It's just part of the fuel control design. Western engines have excess fuel as well, but it is not just dumped overboard. Of course, this entire process is what makes Western engines so much more expensive. Of course, older Western engines did the same thing.
