#Tomahawk helicopter serial

The first serial production helicopter was handed over to the Russian Air Force in mid-2006.

The production of Mi-28N commenced at Rosvertol’s aviation plant in 2005. The helicopter can attain a maximum speed of 300km/h competing closely with the NH90 and Ka-52 Alligator helicopters, which offer the same speed. The Mi-28N ‘Night Hunter’ (Export designation: Mi-28NE) is an attack helicopter developed by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant. The helicopter can take-off and land in hot and high conditions, as well as in extremely cold and icy environments. The Ka-52 Alligator is powered by two VK-2500 turbo-shaft engines, which deliver 2,400hp each allowing the helicopter to fly at altitudes exceeding 5,000m (16,404ft). The helicopter features advanced flight characteristics offering high manoeuvrability in confined spaces. The Ka-52K, a naval version of Ka-52, was also developed for the Russian Navy. The Ka-52 Alligator has the ability to fly at a maximum speed of 300km/h and was developed by Kamov Design Bureau to meet the demands of reconnaissance and combat missions for the Russian Air Force. The high-performance engine enables the helicopter to reach a maximum altitude of 3,200m (10,500ft) at a rate of climb of 2,200ft/min.

The power-plant of the NH90 includes either two RTM322-01/9 or two GE T700/T6E1 2,000kW class engines equipped with dual-channel Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) system. The first NH90s were handed over to the German Army in 2006. It is primarily operated by the armed forces of Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands. The NH90 helicopter is produced by NHIndustries in Tactical Transport Helicopter (TTH) and Naval Frigate Helicopter (NFH) versions. The helicopter’s impressive cruise speed of 300km/h makes it one of the fastest military helicopters in the world. The NH90 is a medium-lift, multi-role military helicopter designed to meet the requirements of Nato members. The robust main and nose landing gears of the helicopter ensure operations from unprepared land surfaces. The Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67C turbines driving a state-of-the-art five-bladed main rotor deliver a higher speed even in demanding situations, including ‘hot and high’, and allow operations at altitudes up to 6,096m (20,000ft). It integrates Electro-Optic (EO) / infrared (IR) System, Defensive Aids Suite (DAS), and an external stores system for a range of weapon systems.

The AW139M was introduced at the AFA Air Warfare Symposium in February 2011 for US Air Force’s Common Vertical Lift Support Programme (CVLSP). It can transport up to ten fully equipped soldiers or 15 passengers at very high speeds. The AW139M from Leonardo is a new generation twin-turbine military helicopter, offering one of the best-in-class speed of 306km/h. Each engine develops a power of 2,270shp and ensures operations at a maximum altitude of 15,000ft. Three Rolls-Royce Turbomeca RTM322-01 engines provide the AW101 high-lifting capacity and top speed.
