Quest for hybrid machine which could perform both helicopter and
aircraft role was long and dates back to the Cold War. V-22 pushed
forward limits of human airplane design. It is a crown jewel of hard
work and high people and material cost. This machine can perform landing
and take-off from very small and nasty places in which standard
transport airplanes can only perform parachute drops. Amongst all it can
reach up to 560 km/h in flight, carry 27 tons of cargo and reach up to
7,900 meters of height. United States Army had been given excellent
machine.
Vietnam war proved the point that combat helicopters are due to prove
their effectiveness in the battle. From AH-1 Cobra to AH-64 Apache it
was a long road of development. Main purpose of this interesting
helicopter is tank and vehicle hunt, forward observe, gunship for close
support etc. Armed with 30mm cannon and assorted missiles/rockets this
helicopter is also well known for it’s strength and sturdiness, as well
as silent approach (lesson learned from UH-1 “Huey”). Used in many
conflicts through the last century this helicopter with 300 km/h speed
and combat radius of 480 km will remain in the United States Army as
well as in certain other armies around the globe.
The “Alligator” is direct descendant of “Crocodile” – Mi-24 Hind.
Strong gunship, versatile, well armed and with it’s distinct shape Kamov
52 will surely prove it’s effectiveness in the future. Rather strange
design with two main rotors and without tail rotor it provides 315 km/h
and 545 km of range for it’s pilot. Even though Kamov design bureau went
through difficult time during dissolution of the Soviet Union this
helicopter surely proves that Russian weapons industry goes strong on
the international market. Amongst all Russian Army received remarkable
helicopter.
European Union is not simply political and economical community.
Strong military industry is being developed to provide armies with
quality weapon systems. Amongst them it’s place hold Eurocopter Tiger,
designed to supplement ground troops as a gunship and full-time combat
helicopter. Sophisticated and versatile it provides 300 km/h and service
range of 800 km. It’s armed with single 30mm cannon and assorted
air-to-ground and air-to-air missiles which fortify it’s strength and
combat value. Sure a machine to prove it’s worth in the future.
Pemerintah kalau bisa membeli satu atau tiga helikopter V-22 Osprey, agar dpt digunakan sbg penolong di tempat2 yg sangat sulit utk didarati pesawat dan dapat digunakan sebagai wawasan keilmuaan dirgantara
