New Ukrainian VV2 helicopter

Have miss your post #32 about -> PBS TS100-ZA
I am familiar with both engines, even have visited PBS in 2011. when TS was still in development.
Asking because of certification prospects... TS100 is still far away from civilian EASA certification target.
AI450 is much closer because of grand father rights in Poland...
Any way nice work, your development is nice platform for optional pilot-less platform aka drone ;)

BTW rule of thumb guess is that you can load up to 250 kg of fuel so up to 3 h endurance without reserve....

At the moment, the UAV platform (hereinafter UAV) is in the second place and they are abundant. The inside of the UAV comes in the first place... which determines its ability to perform combat tasks. State-of-the-art, operational EW and E tools are capable of disabling virtually all communication, control and orientation systems of UAV.

Promising UAV control and orientation systems are being developed with artificial intelligence on neural networks, which makes it possible to counteract EW and operate in closed autonomous topography mode, but the creation of such systems is very difficult, expensive and long, only a few countries have such technologies.

In addition, the protection of the UAV platform and its performance should correspond roughly to the manned variant, as almost identical problems are solved, and the difference of 100 kg (-200 kg crew + 100 kg equipment and batteries) here does not make much difference...

Even as a target in the UAV variant, this helicopter is not cost-effective due to the expensive turbine.

So VV2 is only a peaceful machine. By the way, Frank Robinson never, principally, allowed his helicopters to be used for military purposes.
We solidary agree with Robinson.
 
Why you assuming drone equals only military use....
Imagine for instance search and rescue, fire fighting, agriculture, environmental monitoring,
fisheries control, coast guard and several other possible tasks.
For instance EMSA.eu is using much less capable unit for advanced monitoring tasks.

Regarding the Frank R, no comment.
 
An Airesearch (Honeywell) 36-55-c has been used from 1995 in the Rotormouse and the T-62-T32 in the Jet Exec conversion from 1997

Robinsons are used as entry level trainers in foreign countries - Heck even Stretch had to sneak out of a few African countries where the Rotorways sold there were armed with 50 cal. and rockets. . . Seller beware ?

Thanks for your suggestions. If order an unmanned version, we will take into account your suggestions.

APU power-plants adapted to be main power sources were used in Enstrom & 269 hughes in the 60s
- cost was x3 of the piston power plants [oh well]

And if you want 'peace' try Forest Lawn.... 🤪
