S-97 RAIDER™: The Next Big Thing in Army Aviation 

Tax payer dollars at work. We just need to give them billions more and a decade or two and it might be usable in the field.

Stfu

That was the first test flight home boy, dont be so ignorant

@@phalanx8607 probably so. It's just funny that they brag about maneuverability! And then it shows the darn thing doing a 10 degree bank. Anyway, as a former Army attack Pilots it is my humble opinion that that thing is worthless.

@@thoriumfluoride1270 these are top engineers building these things dude. As a former pilot you would know that these guys ain't fooling around. They will have built a good aircraft; maybe we just need to wait until the next conflict before we can both agree on that 😁

lol

It is really sad we didnt see it work out. Hingeless rotor was a good concept

The only commonality is the pusher rotor

@@PasleyAviationPhotography their not ready for that conversation yet, just let them dwell

But better.

@@user-pq4by2rq9y A kid with his nose into tunes and having a dummy RU-vid account like you doesn't know squat about aircraft.

Супер золоті руки

Ekin Görgü agree , but i think this looks so much better than anything Kamov has made so far

What? It looks so fucking COOL!

Yeah, just add a bunch of hard points on it and it would look killer....so to speak.

I doubt it seeing as the Cheyenne was a single rotor aircraft; not much carryover. The retreating blade stall issue would've been just as bad.

CommandLineCowboy however both the Cheyenne and the X2-S97 have rigid rotors and I'm sure much of that data and research gave a them a foundation for their current rigid rotor platform.

Jonathan couture "fixed rotor" not ridged

CommandLineCowboy your right I have just always heard it referred to as a fixed rotor system ? I wonder if there's a difference ?

Cyclic is a function of blade pitch and not gyroscopic attitude of the rotor it's self right?

would be named for a native american tribe, like the rest of the helicopters.

Will be named after an Indian tribe, like Minnesota or Mashpee or Muckleshoot

that would be awesome

Morrie Larsen. you mean a false name for such tribes. For instance, Apache is a French word for those that burn down stadiums and parked cars. The French in Mexico were really hearing apachu which is the Navajo word for "enemy." I'm supporting Mohawk which means "eater of men."

K

I agree. Less than impressed. This is just the Sikorsky X2. Nothing new. It has been known about since 2015 and people were not impressed by it then. Still not impressed with it now.

why you're so ...clismatic ?..

а почему название русское сикорский)))

yeah, all the titles were pretty, the movie itself showed nothing out of the ordinary. mehhhh

потому что в истории очень много талантливых людей свалило из России. но нужно сказать, что Сикорский многое успел сделать для развития отечественной авиации.

It's not meant to replace the blackhawk, but the AH-6, it only has a 6 man capacity :P

Blackhawk will be replaced sooner or later

Yeah, i'm not an expert in helicopter design and do correct me if i'm wrong, but the Co-axial seems more unreliable to me. Other vehicles like Cars, Planes and boats have their weight supported on their suspension, wings and hulls and their engines and drivetrains only propel the machine forward. A helicopter though, both forward motion and the entire weight of the machine are put 100% on the Rotating blades and thus the drive train so a helicopters gears and drive train need to be really strong in proportion to the weight and size of the machine itself to counter the huge forces acting upon it. In order to achieve that counter rotation, you need a differential, now supporting the entire weight of the helicopter on a differential makes me feel uneasy about how long it will last before breaking whereas a conventional prop has just the shaft from the huge gearbox down below. I mean in order for a co-axial to achieve the same level of reliability as a conventional prop you're gonna need to increase the quality of it's design increasing cost. perhaps thats the reason why in the old days when metallurgical properties and engineering quality was lower everyone adopted the Convential design instead of the co-axial. I mean the first Co-axial, the Gyroplane Laboratoire which first flew in 1935 even predated the first conventional Vought-Sikorsky VS-300 which flew in 1939

Dude there’s a version to replace the Blackhawk, and this can go twice as fast, so tell me why our troops on the ground couldn’t use this on a daily basis. Because speed is a lifesaver

Don't fix it, improve it. There's only so much a Blackhawk can do.

The F-22 can't hover, unless you mean stand on its tail.

I think they will replace Kiowa, Little Bird and Blackhawk (Especially Seahawk) with this. Then Marines will follow to replace their Viper and Venom. Then Chinook will be replaced by a modified wider-more powerful Bell Valor as Heavy lifter. Bell valor is too wide to land on usual urban-mountain-jungle environment to compete with Raider. You can't be wider than the current Blackhawk to carry the quiet similar amount of people (Raider can carry 6 but I think they will modified it to carry 12, Valor can carry 14, Blackhawk can carry 11-12, while Osprey can carry 24). For Apache successor, I think Valor has similar good chance as heavy attack helicopter (Apache) with Raider is the light attack Helicopter (like Kiowa/Little Bird/USMC Viper).

Space Monkey ,the V-280 Valor is made by Bell not Boeing. Its only about 16 inches wider from outside rotors. tip to tip. A retired Army general said the Valor would be twice as fast and more agile than either Blackhawk and Apache helicopters it's designed to replace.

Like what?

dieselyeti THE ALIEN GOOoOOOoOOooOoO

Like this? goo.gl/CSL95t There are certainly classified machines. This will be also for civil use that is why it is unclassified.

+martin yeah, the stealth copter design really doesn't look that much different than this.

The tech needed computerization to increase stability. Look at the controls. I'm pretty sure that is a fly-by-wire system.

Supposed to be a light scout, not a gunship.

That literally every helicopter ever dude.

Just because it has twin rotors does not mean it is based off of some POS Russian crate ;) If anything this is a continuation of the AH-56 Cheyenne idea.

You mean the AH56 Cheyenne idea that crashed and burned (literally) 50 years ago?

The K52 is worth two shits and a bucket, that POS isn't anywhere near any Western Attack Helicopter.

Hernan Hernan ka-52 all day! battle tested as most feared helicopter todate. this looks gay n battlefield

Cheyanne

MEDBEDb1990 Да пацан это точно

Not sure if actually racist or SJW

Lol, reeling them in. Where's people's sense of humour these days. And defo not an sjw 😂

Thank fuck for that

Kino C KA 52 is old and is in LOW numbers

KA-52 is not old lmfao.

Not really, that tail prop will have the RCS of a Mack truck.. But I see what they are thinking.. That dual rotor system barely has any span. That thing will lift heavy weight while dipping down on a tight spot that nothing we have today will fit in. This thing is designed for severe terrain/urban operations.

Russia actually invented the concept of a helicopter, the British invented the tank, the Chinese were the first to discover and utilize gunpowder. Cool information but nobody cares. Distant memories, let's stay on topic

very diffrent

S-69 ...

Its not who did it first its about who did it best.

actually the French and Italians did Co-axil rotors first en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breguet-Dorand_Gyroplane_Laboratoire the idea of a Co-axil rotor dates far before the Ka-52.

But there isn't...

Private Yeltsin Negative...you sound lost btw

Definitely Black Hole Martin is the best Defense company on Earth, you put your money there and does not know where it goes

Grow up kid

@ J.D. I am a 5 jump chump lol wanted so bad to go to the 82cd but got shipped off to the 101rst

All invention is derivation. The interesting thing about the S-97 is rigid rotor blades and higher speeds, not co-axial rotors. A 400 kmh cruise speed with external weapons for a helicopter of this size will be record-breaking. Far faster than the Ka-52 which weighs twice as much.

Серьёзно? У России-Матушки столько же технологий украли! Конечно, чертежи этого вертолёта увозили с Сибирского завода сразу после технологии телепортации и мгновенного навязывания коммунизма всему миру. А, если серьёзно, то советую вам проверится у психиатора.

типа это секрет большой что все советские разработки и ноухау были вывезены при дерьмократе Еборе в США, я вам ничего не советую так как вам уверен что вам уже никто не поможет. p.s.правильно писать психиатр lol

Интересно, что же тут украдено? Соосная схема? Открою секрет, не только КБ. Камова делает соосные вертолёты. Или схема автожира? Того самого, что были ещё в 20-30 годы прошлого века. Или, может быть, электроника? Ах, да, это же великая электроника из СССР! На которой сейчас работают все современные компьютера и планшеты. И тот комп, за которым ты сидишь, тоже был создан по украденным разработкам из СССР, а не разработан в Силиконовой Долине.

Everyone is stealing everything from poor Russia... Alas do not worry, patriot! Nobody can steal your great leader from you! ^__^

TRTLZ Gaming yes ofcours I do know but also didn't know they copy Ka-52 side by side pilot

The vast majority of helicopters have side by side seating, and the KA-52 has a fully articulated rotor, this has a rigid one, and a pusher prop. Saying this copied the KA-52 is like saying the B-52 copies the SU-27 because they both have wings.

Look at these: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_AH-56_Cheyenne en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_S-69

"The French had the first rotating tank turret, so every tank turret is a copy of the french tank"

martin recendez true. No need to reinvent the wheel

martin recendez first tank is designed by davinchi learn something

Look up the Lockheed AH-56

Duk Dux that's like saying Russia copies the f15 because it is a twin engine sir superiority fighter

Hosein not at all, it only shares the rotor setup, that's it.

yeah man u right, but i mean if in the future see attack helicopters like "Alligator" Idea is copy not new, russian was first!!!

Hosein basically what your saying is that "Britain made the first tank so everything else is now a copy" or "Germany made the first assault rifle so everything else is now a copy" or "America made the first nuke so everything else is now a copy" or "this company has a copyright for banking software therefor everything else is now a copy"

You had a pretty solid reasons, Development of science and technology has no boundaries And anyone can do if they have the ability to, But it should be noted that, Always getting praised and honored the first person in recorded history. so I'm including myself did correct: "russian was first in new generation of helicopters" and about NAZY power I believe "All generations today Development and progress is from their inventions, means: Russia and America all information and inventions NAZI, seized" Today's military power as NAZI military power And only differ in language, dress, thinking and idea.

Guys!!! be advised, Cadillac is copy of russian god car VAZ Lada Kalina!!! Yellow, endeed... :-)

I was a Cheyenne Test Pilot. When program ended, I quit flying. What could be better than that?
