卡-50「黑鯊」武裝直升機(Ka-50)是蘇聯及俄羅斯單座雙發共軸雙三槳旋翼多用途武裝直升機。是蘇聯卡莫夫設計局和米里設計局的米-28武裝直升機競爭的結果,由卡莫夫設計局1977年完成設計,1982年6月17日首飛,1993年首次公開參加了英國范堡羅航展,1995年8月正式服役。後來研製的衍生型號卡-52,則在21世紀開始列裝。 The Kamov Ka-50 "Black Shark" (Russian: Чёрная акула, romanized: Chyornaya akula, English: kitefin shark, NATO reporting name: Hokum A) is a Soviet/Russian single-seat attack helicopter with the distinctive coaxial rotor system of the Kamov design bureau. It was designed in the 1980s and adopted for service in the Russian army in 1995. It is manufactured by the Progress company in Arsenyev. It is used as a heavily armed scout helicopter. It is the world's first operational helicopter with a rescue ejection system.During the late 1990s, Kamov and Israel Aerospace Industries developed a tandem-seat cockpit version, the Kamov Ka-50-2 "Erdogan" (Russian: Эрдоган, Turkish: Erdoğan), to compete in Turkey's attack helicopter competition. Kamov also designed another two-seat variant, the Kamov Ka-52 "Alligator" (Russian: Аллигатор, NATO reporting name: Hokum B).
Ka-50 "Black Shark" gunship (Ka-50)
is a Soviet and Russian single-seat twin-
engine coaxial twin-screw rotor multi-purpose gunship. It
is the Mi-28 gunship of the Soviet Kamov Design Bureau and Miri Design Bureau.
The result of the competition
was completed by the Kamov Design Bureau in 1977. It
flew for the first time on June 17, 1982. It
first publicly participated in the Farnborough Air Show in England in 1993.
The Ka-50 gunship has been installed since the beginning of the century. It
is the world
's first coaxial counter-rotating propeller gunship
and the world's first close-support gunship
with a single cockpit. It
is also the first helicopter equipped with an ejection life-saving seat.
The helicopter designation standard
belongs to the third-generation level.
As Russia's next-generation anti-tank helicopter,
thanks to the heavy-duty military specifications, it
can also be used to perform tasks such as anti-ship, anti-submarine
search and rescue, electronic reconnaissance and other tasks. The
Ka-50 is designed to be small, light and flexible.
The helicopter with great survivability and attack power is
designed to achieve maximum speed and agility in the smallest and lightest range.
It is also the only one-man-operated attack helicopter. The
Kamov Design Bureau
came to a conclusion after the end of the Soviet-Afghan war
. The helicopter must automatically perform
low-altitude flight to capture the target weapon launch and
navigation and other mechanical actions
without the driver's intervention. These operations
only need to spend time on the task content.
However, this is still an unsolved problem
because many drivers of the Ka-50 The driver still feels that
the overall workload during driving is not small.
Later, the Ka-52, which was greatly remodeled, returned to the two-seat
Ka-50. The overall outline of the Ka-50 is also smaller to
reduce the probability of being hit. The
fuselage is shorter, and the
Kamov ensures its coaxial rotor. It
can still operate after being hit by weapons of caliber below 23mm.
Because the two wings rotate in opposite directions,
the zero force distance effect can
minimize the interference of wind on the Ka-50
and
has extremely high maneuvering and hovering efficiency at any speed.
Like other Kamov helicopters, the
Ka-50 uses a coaxial inverting dual-rotor system
that eliminates the rear tail rotor
and improves aerobatics.
Although it has caused an accident with the oars,
the company has claimed that
it can be gradually improved to pull the nose up and around.
Loop Roll and "Funnel"
This is a loop attack. When the body is aligned with the
target axis, it can change the altitude
airspeed and elevation angle while looping to attack the target.
The limiting factor of extreme speed
Using coaxial counter-rotating dual rotors means
both rotors can run at lower speeds
and with smaller rotors
so dual rotors allow the Black Shark to
surpass the top speed of the American AH-64
helicopter. Eliminating the tail rotor also has many benefits
Because the stabilized tail rotor
will consume 30% of engine horsepower
and the tail rotor has been attacked, it has always been
the
main cause of
helicopter battle damage The helicopter
not only strengthens the Personnel survivability
also increases the driver's psychological willingness to fight.
When the under-seat rocket ignites,
the explosion bolt in the center of the two sets of rotors
blows all 6 rotors off the
blades and separates a fraction of the blade sleeves on the mast (rotor hub).
Seconds later, the
canopy was ejected
. The small white rocket above the flight seat was
ignited and shot out
. The rope at the lower end of the rocket was tied to the pilot's seat and
pulled the seat out of the cockpit by the upward pulling force of the rocket. The
pilot immediately separated from the seat and
then opened the parachute to
eject. The speed range is 90-350 km/h and the
ejection height range is from 0 to 5000 meters. The
entire escape process takes only 2.5 seconds. The
Ka-50 can mount four weapons on the short wings. The
wingtip can also mount two weapons with a
total weight of not more than 2300 The
main heavy weapon is twelve laser-guided
9K121 cyclone anti-tank missiles with a
range of up to 10 kilometers.
Automatically share all target information among four Ka-50s.
One can scout and then
pass the target to three hidden weapon launchers.
It can also
receive target information from ground bases or scouts.
Built-in Shipunov 2A42
30mm cannon is semi-fixed on the right side of the fuselage and
can only change a little angle,
but it is a twin-rotor
helicopter.
The driver's helmet sight is
as fast as the swivel turret of an AH-64 or Mi-28. The
semi-fixed cannon's biggest consideration is the increased
accuracy and the extra range you get from a longer barrel.
The turret
Ka-52 is a modified version of the Ka-50 that
features side-by-side dual pilots
and enhanced armament for helicopter combat. The
rotor is similar to the original Ka-50,
but the nose line is more rounded to accommodate two pilots
. Some cockpit armor is reduced.
And the nose radome space
Ka-52 retains the design of the side cannon
and six missile mounting points.
Currently Russia is studying weapons
and the Ka-52M with stronger weather resistance, which
can launch long-range missiles
. The disintegration of the Soviet Union affected the Ka-52M.
Only a very small number of prototypes exist
in the mass production of -52, but after the economy gradually improves,
Russia intends to restart stable production.
In addition to the use of the
Ka-52 by the army, the amphibious ship is also
equipped with the original equipment at that time and the Mistral-class amphibious assault purchased by the Russian Navy.
On the ship,
but it
was stagnant because of sanctions by France after Russia occupied Crimea in 2014. It
was finally sold to Egypt for use.
