America will have super helicopters

Transporting soldiers to the battlefield is not an easy task and even more difficult when traveling by air.

Helicopter battle in the future

Currently the US Navy is cooperating with the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) to build a new helicopter fleet to transport soldiers to the battlefield in a more efficient and safe way in the future.

The replacement is really necessary because after decades of technology development, the US military still uses a few helicopters " to the retirement age" designed to produce from the early 1960s.

Sikorsky SB1.

The latest edition of the American Journal of Defense Technology tested the hypotheses about the new design of future helicopters. In August, the Pentagon chose to send two helicopter manufacturers, Sikorsky and Bell Helicopter, to create two new " iron bird " models.

Sikorsky's SB1 combat helicopter model is fitted with propeller propellers similar to its X-2 and Raider helicopters, which means that SB1 can fly faster than other 'colleagues ' only. equipped with conventional propellers.

Bell Helicopter V-280.

The helicopter called Bell Helicopter V-280 Valor is a more "slimy" version of the V-22 Osprey , which is expected to reach speeds of about 515km / hour but only carry the number of soldiers by about half compared to V-22.

Valor V-280 will be made into 3 versions used for military, medical and combat purposes. Valor V-280 can carry 120 soldiers and 4 crew members. In addition, this helicopter has an impressive achievement with the ability to fly at an altitude of 1.8 km, a range of 3,862 km and a speed of 424km / hour.

Last year, Texas AVX pioneered the design of a new generation helicopter for the US military. It can transfer troops, carry heavy and cum combat functions.

The Daily Mail revealed that the contract for manufacturing this super helicopter is worth up to $ 100 billion. The new helicopter has two propeller engines that lift the plane to the air and push it at a speed of 426km / hour.

AVX has also partnered with a number of other experienced airline companies to design AVX JRM / FLV to help lower product costs, even cheaper than the most modern helicopter available.

In order to design new helicopters, there are currently four companies participating in the bidding that AVX is considered to be the most valuable. It is expected that the demonstration of this technology will take place in 2017.

Speaking to Major General William Crosby, program director, Daily Mail said the goal of the new helicopter is to improve speed, scope of operation, reliability, combat capabilities, limit risks and less hurt. . It also opens up the concept of a more compact coaxial rotating motor and can replace the existing Blackhawk helicopter in the future.

The AVX JMR weighs 12,000kg, can carry 5,900kg of cargo (a 105mm cannon weighing just 2,260kg) with 12 soldiers and 4-man crew (including gunners).
