Carrier-borne unmanned helicopter is can be a kind on board of ship vessel helicopter the unmanned helicopter that has rising falling, its are executable antagonism of relay of scout of directive of maritime early-warning, cautionary, target, electron, communication, electron and blow fight wait for a variety of tasks, because man-machine is detached, need not consider the exhaustion of air man and safety, can use at executing mission of maritime Gao Wei.
RQ-8A carrier-borne unmanned helicopter
Regard carrier-borne as the forerunner of unmanned helicopter, firepower scout series does not have man-machine to go up oneself since century end begins research and development, it is carrier-borne all the time the person above average of unmanned helicopter. With other country development small-sized and unmanned aircraft differs, the U.S. Army devotes oneself to to develop load all the time big, endurance is strong large and medium-sized unmanned aircraft, no matter be RQ8A/MQ8B or newest MQ8C,be from somebody helicopter undertakes change one's costume or dress and coming accordingly, it is with newest MQ8C exemple, its prototype is Bell 407 helicopter.
Bell 407 helicopter
MQ8C unmanned helicopter
MQ-8C withheld equipment of the sensor of MQ-8B, communication and software, with MQ-8B about 90% arrive 95% general character, but airframe, engine differs with ala coming back. MQ-8C takeoff weight achieves 2721 kilogram, add boat time is as long as 15 hours, effective load 450 kilogram, can hang carry " Tartarean fire " wait for missile. Compare with MQ-8B photograph, MQ-8C has larger volume, longer add boat time and stronger round-the-clock flight capacity.
Unmanned helicopter basically has the carrier-borne that at present our country basically equips two kinds, one kind is S-100 unmanned helicopter of Austria, this model unmanned aircraft already gained multilateral favour at present; Another kind is Swedish APID-60 unmanned helicopter. Nevertheless these two kinds of helicopter belong to the small-sized and unmanned machine that buys from abroad, differ with demand of future of our country naval very far.
S100 unmanned helicopter
APID-60 unmanned helicopter
And large and medium-sized to Chinese him navy carrier-borne unmanned helicopter, we see a stories first, last year the beginning of the year, aviation industry helicopter such always saying of place each other in red report:
From " unmanned helicopter " " naval weaponry develops " wait for a word to look, the contest bid that had 2016 should be naval unmanned helicopter, the other competition unit that says in article, army internal medicine grinds what the orgnaization points to probably according to the analysis is the WZ-6B carrier-borne that always joins 60 unmanned helicopter.
Total ginseng ever ground 60 times hair is much model unmanned helicopter, include WZ-3 series and WZ-5 series. From the point of data, MQ8B of naval of similar United States does not have WZ-6B unmanned aircraft man-machine, much job performance is very outstanding also. As to civilian battalion enterprise, the build in see domestic unmanned helicopter now is opposite older mill having Wei is institute of automata of Tian Xiang airline and flight of aviation industry Xi'an, medium of the V750 that the 10th institute develops electric division jointly unmanned helicopter and research and development of institute of automation of Shenyang of Chinese Academy of Sciences circle in the air eagle - 200 unmanned helicopter.
V750 unmanned helicopter
Circle in the air eagle - 200 unmanned helicopter
T333 coaxal Shuang Xuanyi unmanned helicopter
Among them V750 He Xiangying these two 200 unmanned helicopter are from civil somebody helicopter undertakes change one's costume or dress and coming, from the point of the picture of exposure, circle in the air eagle - the technical level of 200 unmanned helicopter wants apparently low much, actually V750 is in early 2011 above all head fly, its take off weight is 757 kilograms, task load is more than 80 kilograms, even smaller than RQ8A. The most crucial is the B-2B helicopter that used the United States those who undertake is unmanned change change one's costume or dress, this undertakes batch of for military use equips hard apparently. And T333 is occupied saying is country's at present biggest unmanned helicopter, its used coaxal Shuang Xuanyi to take the position of flank, the greatest takeoff weight achieved 3 tons, task radius is 400km, use 2 281 kilowatt (380 horsepower) piston engine.
Successful to this contest mark aviation industry helicopter, also develop before this actually overmuch model unmanned helicopter, include the AV500 of class of the AV200 of 200kg class, 500kg and 1 ton of AV1000 of class, among them the AV500W gunship that AV500 helicopter returned development to give right attack, and can fight in highland.
At this point in light of success of second contest bid, want to beat a competitor to always join 60 WZ-6B unmanned helicopter especially, a few model that sheet relies on to have undertake carrier-borne is changed changing one's costume or dress is to cannot win victory for certain. Will look from the analysis, two is plant likelihood, it is the unmanned helicopter with develop bigger than WZ-6B load property better by oneself, 2 be undertake nobody are changed in the helicopter that has from aviation industry change one's costume or dress. Come round to look with respect to eye, use existing somebody helicopter undertakes nobody change the likelihood that change one's costume or dress very big, use nobody to change after all change one's costume or dress the risk is lesser, and can learn the mature experience that draws lessons from an U.S. Army. If will look from takeoff weight, the most appropriate in the helicopter of straight XX series with aviation at present existing industry should belong to straight - 11 helicopter, straight - 11 helicopter are referenced France AS350 " squirrel " a multipurpose of helicopter research and development is light-duty helicopter, its are at present newest improve model for straight - 11WB " Zuo " light-duty attack helicopter.
Will look from system capacity, straight - 11 helicopter and Bell 407 helicopter comparative, if future develops can be had for unmanned helicopter at least the effective load of 400kg (MQ8C is 450kg) , can hang carry two eagles to knock the 9 small-sized missile that turn over naval vessel. Large and medium-sized unmanned helicopter is scouting the field such as ability of ability, telemetering of firepower, range, remote control is clear excel is small-sized unmanned aircraft, because volume is larger,defect depends on, viability should lose at small-sized and unmanned aircraft.
The crucial technology that with mature somebody helicopter changes set out to exhibit unmanned helicopter to need to solve basically is reflected in flight control technology, measure accuse with direct technology two big fields, and solving naval vessel to reclaim even without man-machine as carrier-borne technology. From the point of open paper, home is in what begin to undertake carrier-borne does not have man-machine technology early when MQ8B research and development grind beforehand, in recent years crucial to each technology is worn especially naval vessel reclaims the technology had much research. Aviation industry helicopter Fang Yonggong of unmanned helicopter CTO ever was in place had said on helicopter exposition, the unmanned helicopter technology of our country and foreign photograph are not older than difference, advocate if project application is too little and in big load unmanned aircraft side has difference. From the 055 chasers that exposure gives recently the graph looks, its installed naval vessel of a move to guide radar, this specification 055 model chaser considered carrier-borne probably in the beginning of design of unmanned helicopter on naval vessel, can foreknow future 055 model after chaser enlists in army, we can see homebred new-style carrier-borne the naval vessel on unmanned helicopter.
