“I managed to find a solution, I patented it that a combat helicopter can fly at a speed of more than 600 km per hour,” Mikheev said during the MAKS-2019 air show.
According to him, in the US, Sikorsky and Boeing are developing a helicopter with a flight speed of up to 550 km / h.
As Mikheev noted, “sooner or later,” Rossi should be ready to create a similar helicopter.
Earlier, Russian Helicopters announced the development of a new type of helicopters based on projects by Kamov and Mil design bureaus, as well as the Kazan Helicopter Plant.
