- Boeing Celebrates Production of 100th CH-47F Chinook
RIDLEY TOWNSHIP, Pa., July 21, 2010 — Boeing [NYSE: BA] on July 22 will celebrate the 100th CH-47F Chinook helicopter built at the company’s Ridley Township facility.
“This is an incredible milestone,” said Leanne Caret, Boeing vice president, H-47 Programs. “More than 2,000 Boeing employees work on the Chinook program, and they all share in this exceptional accomplishment with the rest of the company and our partners, suppliers and customers. We are dedicated to delivering aircraft with advanced capability and the utmost quality to meet warfighters’ urgent needs.”
Following delivery to the U.S. Army in August, the 100th Chinook will be fielded by the next unit equipped with the new aircraft.
Since completing the first production model CH-47F Chinook in August 2006, Boeing has trained and equipped six U.S. Army units and is in the process of equipping the seventh. Four units have completed deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the helicopter logged nearly 50,000 flight hours and maintained an operational readiness rate of over 80 percent conducting air assault, transport and support operations.
“The CH-47F is proving its exceptional capabilities every day in combat operations,” said Army Col. Bob Marion, Project Manager for Cargo Helicopters. “The technological advantages and improvements in the CH-47F are powerful combat multipliers that save soldiers’ lives and support overall contingency operations in theater. I am extremely proud of our Cargo Team.”
To further meet the needs of Chinook customers around the world, Boeing is implementing a $130 million renovation that will enable the Ridley Township factory to gradually increase production levels from the current four aircraft per month to a new rate of six aircraft per month in 2012.
The CH-47F features a newly designed, modernized airframe, Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS) cockpit and Digital Automatic Flight Control System (DAFCS). The CAAS greatly improves aircrew situational awareness, and DAFCS provides dramatically improved flight-control capabilities through the entire flight envelope, significantly improved performance, and safety in the harshest of environments. aviationnews | |

Sikorsky CH-53K Helicopter Program Achieves Successful Critical Design Review
STRATFORD, Connecticut – Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation announced today the successful completion of the CH-53K Heavy Lift Helicopter Program Critical Design Review (CDR) event, signaling the program is ready to proceed to assembly, test and evaluation. Sikorsky Aircraft is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
The joint Sikorsky/Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) CH-53K helicopter program team hosted a weeklong meeting in late July to gather stakeholders and key collaborators from government and industry for an in-depth aircraft design review. At the review, the CH-53K team successfully demonstrated that the design meets the system requirements, setting the stage for the next phase of the program. Review participants included members of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, NAVAIR, Sikorsky Aircraft, and 21 major industrial partners who displayed component exhibits that augmented technical presentations.
Over the past four years, the CH-53K helicopter team has successfully completed numerous major reviews, including the System Requirements Review (SRR), System Functional Review (SFR), System Preliminary Design Review (PDR), 77 supplier-level Critical Design Reviews (CDR’s), 64 supplier and internal software reviews, and 16 sub-system CDRs.
David Cohen, chairman of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Technical Review Board (TRB) emphasized the Board’s approval with a “resounding yes,” adding that “the CH-53K helicopter program is ready for full-scale development and manufacture of the test aircraft.”
Completion of the System CDR event demonstrates that the CH-53K Helicopter Program continues to build on its strong design foundation. NAVAIR CH-53K Heavy Lift Helicopter Integrated Product Team Co-lead, Lt. Col. Hank Vanderborght noted, “We have a program that sits squarely on solid technical ground, and our team continues to work diligently as we mitigate all schedule and cost risks.”
Over 93% of the design has been released for manufacturing. System-level performance projections indicate all seven Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) will be achieved with adequate risk mitigation margin built-in for subsequent phases of the program. The team is ready to move into fabrication and assembly of test articles, component qualification, and flight test.
“This successful CDR confirms the program is on the right track and is a significant step forward for the CH-53K helicopter program,” said John Johnson, Sikorsky Program Manager for the CH-53K helicopter program. “Sikorsky and NAVAIR are well aligned in this collaborative effort, and this CDR brings us closer to delivering a vital tool to the U.S. Marine Corps’ future heavy lift mission.”
Sikorsky has been building CH-53 helicopters for the Marine Corps since the CH-53A aircraft was introduced in 1963. The heavy lift mission is currently performed by the Sikorsky CH-53E SUPER STALLIONTM helicopter and CH-53D SEA STALLION helicopter models that have logged a cumulative total of 1.37 million flight hours in over 40 years.
Sikorsky Aircraft received a $3 billion System Development and Demonstration (SDD) contract on April 5, 2006 to develop a replacement for the U.S. Marine Corps CH-53E heavy lift helicopter. The new aircraft program is planned to include production of more than 200 aircraft. Currently, the CH-53K helicopter is in the SDD phase with all of the major subcontracts awarded and valued at over $1.1B.
“This milestone is a turning point for our program,” said Mike Torok, Sikorsky Vice-President and Chief Engineer for Marine Corps Programs, and Chief Engineer for the CH-53K. “The final design definition, which meets NAVAIR and USMC requirements, is concluding, and now we move on to the test and verification part of the program.
“Parts are being made throughout the supply base and at our new Precision Component Technology Center; test facilities are being fabricated and prepped for installation in our recently opened ground test facility; the integrated simulation facility is marching toward a late 2010 opening, already having received the first increment of software for the aircraft; and the final assembly facility in West Palm Beach is being prepared to start building the ground and flight vehicles early next year. It’s time now to prove out our design and show that this helicopter system will indeed meet the war fighting requirements of the USMC and give them exceptional mission performance from a platform that is affordable and supportable for many years to come,” Torok added.
The CH-53K helicopter will maintain virtually the same footprint as its predecessor, the three-engine CH-53E SUPER STALLION helicopter, but will nearly triple the payload to 27,000 pounds over 110 nautical miles under “hot/high” ambient conditions. The CH-53E helicopter is currently the largest, most powerful marinized helicopter in the world. It is deployed from Marine Corps amphibious assault ships to transport personnel and equipment and to carry external (sling) cargo loads.
The CH-53K helicopter’s maximum gross weight (MGW) with internal loads is 74,000 pounds compared to 69,750 pounds for the CH-53E aircraft. The CH-53K’s MGW with external loads is 88,000 pounds as compared to 73,500 for the CH-53E helicopter.
Features of the CH-53K helicopter include: a modern glass cockpit; fly-by-wire flight controls; fourth generation rotor blades with anhedral tips; a low-maintenance elastomeric rotor head; upgraded engines; a locking cargo rail system; external cargo handling improvements; survivability enhancements; and improved reliability, maintainability and supportability. The program is expected to achieve the Initial Operational Capability milestone in FY18. aviationnews | |

Second AW159 Lynx Wildcat Makes Its First Flight
AgustaWestland, a Finmeccanica company, is pleased to announce that the second AW159 multi-role military helicopter successfully completed its maiden flight at AgustaWestland’s Yeovil facility yesterday. During its maiden flight a range of general handling checks were completed and it performed as expected. The aircraft, designated TI2, is the second of three test aircraft that will complete a 600 hour integrated flight test programme. The third aircraft, TI3, is scheduled to join the flight test programme in late October 2010. Aircraft TI1 continues to perform air vehicle and flight envelope testing while TI2 will undertake the flight testing of the aircraft’s core and mission avionics systems, the systems and software having already been developed and tested on AgustaWestland’s Full Systems Integration Rig (FSIR). TI3’s main task include undertaking load survey trials and naval development, including ship helicopter operating limit trials. AgustaWestland has now also established a new AW159 production facility at its Yeovil plant that introduces a pulse line production system to bring significant efficiencies to the final assembly process. The first production airframe was delivered to AgustaWestland by GKN Aerospace on schedule in July 2010.
The first flight of the second AW159, known as Lynx Wildcat in UK military service, marks another major milestone in the development of this new six-ton multi-role military helicopter, 62 of which have been ordered by the UK Ministry of Defence. The first aircraft will be delivered at the end of 2011 with the aircraft becoming fully operational with the Army in 2014 and the Royal Navy in 2015. The British Army’s AW159 Lynx Wildcat will perform a wide range of tasks on the battlefield including reconnaissance, command and control, transportation of troops and materiel, and the provision of force protection. The Royal Navy variant will provide an agile maritime capability providing anti-surface warfare capability and force protection and will operate in support of amphibious operations and be an important element in defending ships against surface threats. There will be a high degree of commonality between the Army and Royal Navy helicopters that will mean that an aircraft can switch roles easily, principally through the changing of role equipment.
The AW159 is powered by two new generation CTS800 engines, each capable of continuously producing 1281 shp giving the aircraft exceptional hot and high performance. The aircraft has an all up mass of 5790 kg with a built in capability to increase that to 6250 kg. The cockpit includes a fully integrated display system utilising four 10×8 inch primary displays. Sensors include a nose mounted IR/TV imager with built in laser designator and for the maritime variant the Selex Galileo 7400E 360 degree active array radar. The AW159 also has a comprehensive integrated defensive aids suite comprising a missile warning system, radar warning receivers and a countermeasures dispensing system. Additionally the AW159 will be capable of carrying a range of weapons including machine guns, torpedoes, depth charges and the Future Anti-Surface Guided Weapon (FASGW). The AW159 programme for the UK MoD continues to be on time and on budget and was the first major project to be awarded under the Strategic Partnering Arrangement signed by the UK Ministry of Defence and AgustaWestland in June 2006. AgustaWestland has also signed partnering agreements with a number of key suppliers on the AW159 programme including Selex Galileo, a Finmeccanica company; GKN Aerospace, LHTEC – a partnership between Rolls-Royce and Honeywell, General Dynamics UK, Thales UK and GE Aviation.

| Sikorsky unveils S-97 for high-speed scout and attack helicopter contest - Citation :
- Building on the record-breaking X2 demonstrator, Sikorsky has launched the S-97 Raider programme to fly and test a high-speed scout and attack helicopter.
The coaxial-rotor, compound helicopter, scheduled to complete first flight within 50 months, will carry weapons and troops like the Russian Mil Mi-24, but fly faster than 200kt (370km/h) in cruise, and 220kt in dash mode, Sikorsky says.
By officially unveiling the S-97 programme on 20 October, Sikorsky intends to challenge the US Army's requirements staff as they consider options for replacing the Bell Helicopter OH-58D Kiowa Warrior.
"If we don't do this now, that requirement is going to show up for a standard helicopter that does things 8-10% better," says Sikorsky president Jeff Pino, unveiling a mock-up of the 4,760kg (10,500lb) maximum gross weight S-97.

The army is evaluating options for the armed aerial scout (AAS) contract, with a decision on its acquisition strategy timed for the second quarter of 2011.
The potential order for hundreds of scout helicopters has sparked a wide range of responses from industry. Two weeks ago, Bell Helicopter unveiled a new demonstrator project to re-engine a Kiowa with a Honeywell HTS900-2 engine. EADS North America has teamed with Lockheed Martin to convert an EC145 single-rotor helicopter into the AS645 armed scout.
Despite Sikorsky's high-speed proposal, the army has not specifically asked for a faster helicopter than the Kiowa Warrior. But service officials last December asked industry to propose helicopters that can hover out of ground effect at 6,000ft (1,800m) when the outside temperature is above 35ºC (95ºF) - a limitation for most single-rotor helicopters in places like Afghanistan.
The S-97 is designed to hover carrying six fully equipped soldiers at that extreme altitude, Pino says. If the payload is only weapons, sensors and fuel, the S-97's hover ceiling rises to 10,000ft, he adds.
Sikorsky, however, is not counting on the AAS programme alone to justify the business case for launching a new aircraft. The S-97 also will be pitched to other potential US and foreign military customers over the next decade.
Pino cited the US special operations community - specifically, infiltrating navy SEALs on covert missions - as a possible buyer for the S-97, which operates quietly and without a tail rotor.
"I won't say it is 'Airwolf-whisper' quiet," Pino says, citing a 1980s American TV series featuring a supersonic Bell 222 helicopter. "But it's very, very, very, very quiet."
The aircraft also could be adopted by the US Marine Corps as a high-speed, armed escort for the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor.
"AAS is not the only game in town," Pino says.
Sikorsky plans to complete a preliminary design review with its suppliers, who are contributing 25-30% of the S-97 development funding on a risk-sharing basis, in 2011.
Two S-97 prototypes will be built for the test programme. The aircraft will use the existing General Electric T700 engine for the prototypes. A more powerful, 2,300shp (1,720kW) engine, however, must reach fruition under the army's improved turbine engine programme (ITEP).
"ITEP has to come through," Pino says. "We're going to need those [extra] horsepowers."
Sikorsky has displayed a mock-up with three-bladed rotors, but the S-97 will use four blades on each rotor to counter vibration levels. The pusher propeller attached to the tail will measure 2.04m in diameter.
The S-97 is the first all-new helicopter that Sikorsky has launched since the army cancelled the Sikorsky/Boeing RAH-66 Comanche in February 2004.
A year later, Sikorsky hatched the idea for the X2 demonstrator after internally deciding that high-speed would be the next capability desired by the military.
The X2 demonstrated 250kt speed in level flight in September, breaking the helicopter speed record with the advantage of a pusher propeller providing 1,500lb (6.7kN) of augmented thrust.
Unlike the X2, the S-97 will incorporate a gearbox on the propeller to allow the pilot to disengage or engage the propulsor in flight. If the programme advances to the production stage, Sikorsky also plans to install a cockpit with the ability to fly with two pilots, one pilot or autonomously.
Sikorsky has reserved space in the S-97 to install a targeting sensor with a forward-looking infrared camera, but it will not be included in the demonstration programme. Flight International | |

First S-70iTM BLACK HAWK Helicopter Completes Test Flight Program
WEST PALM BEACH, Florida – The first S-70iTM BLACK HAWK helicopter has successfully completed production flight testing and will begin development and flight testing of options that will be made available to international customers. Sikorsky Aircraft is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).
The aircraft has flown more than 50 hours in its production flight test program. It will undergo extensive flight testing in the coming months as options are integrated into the aircraft.
“The next phase of the program will expand the capability of the aircraft, transitioning it from a baseline configuration to a multi-faceted platform,” said Debra A. Zampano, S-70i Senior Program Manager, International Military Programs. “The aircraft has performed to all program requirements and has made a smooth transition from its production build in Poland through Sikorsky’s rigorous flight test program in Florida. The next phase of development will produce a BLACK HAWK helicopter that the global marketplace has never seen before.”
Peter Ladyko, Chief of Test for the S-70i helicopter program said, “The aircraft has undergone a detailed ground and flight test program involving a number of systems, including dual exportable radios, exportable transponder, emergency locator transmitter, embedded dual GPS/INS navigation, and electromagnetic compatibility testing. We look forward to expanding the platform to incorporate additional options in the next phase.”
The options that will be developed for the S-70i will enable customers to perform missions such as humanitarian relief, search and rescue, medical evacuation, command and control, and armed patrol. Deliveries to the launch customer of the S-70i helicopter program are slated to begin by mid-2011.
The S-70i helicopter utilizes a global supply chain and is the first BLACK HAWK helicopter ever to be assembled in Europe. The aircraft are being manufactured at PZL Mielec, Sikorsky Aircraft’s company in Poland.
The S-70i BLACK HAWK helicopter incorporates the latest technology with advanced features such as a fully integrated digital cockpit with a dual digital automatic flight control system and coupled flight director. It also features an active vibration control system that will smooth the overall ride of the aircraft. The dual GPS/INS system with digital map provides accurate and redundant navigation for the most demanding of tactical environments.

Kiowa Warrior steals spotlight at AUSA
By Stephen Trimble
After surviving two attempts to field a replacement scout helicopter, the Bell Helicopter OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is only getting stronger as the US Army considers a wide range of options for its future.
The Kiowa Warrior assumed a starring role on the service's biggest stage - the annual convention of the Association of the US Army. Service officials revealed a new "Fox" model called the OH-58F, featuring long-awaited cockpit and sensor upgrades for its 26-year-old scout helicopter fleet.
The army also announced that Bell is resuming a production line for Kiowa Warrior conversions that has lain dormant for about 15 years. The goal is to replace 43 OH-58Ds lost in accidents and combat since 2003 with remanufactured aircraft.
Both steps are strong endorsements in the future of an aircraft that could again be recommended for retirement within six months.
An ongoing analysis of alternatives, commissioned in the wake of the 2007 cancellation of the Bell ARH-70 Arapaho armed reconnaissance helicopter, is setting the course for the future of the army's scout helicopter fleet.
Army officials decline to release any new preliminary findings, but confirm that a solely unmanned solution has been ruled out.
When the study is complete in the second quarter of next year, army planners could still point in any of several directions. One option is to launch a new development programme for a high-speed aircraft, with the newly unveiled Sikorsky S-97 Raider as a top candidate.
Another option is to park the Kiowa Warrior fleet for an off-the-shelf aircraft that can meet the army's most demanding new requirement for so-called "high-hot" capability.
In mountainous Afghanistan, the OH-58D lacks enough power to fly missions when hovering out of ground effect at 6,000ft (1,830m) on a 35°C (95°F) day.
EADS North America and Lockheed Martin have teamed to adapt the UH-72 Lakota utility helicopter into an armed scout. Three of the AAS-72X demonstrators are now in development. AgustaWestland, meanwhile, would offer a militarised variant of its AW119.
But the army may decide to capitalise on its current investments in the OH-58D, which include integrating a digitally based glass cockpit and a nose-mounted Raytheon common sensor payload.
However, as the OH-58D fails to meet the new standard for high-hot performance, Bell is proposing to replace its Rolls-Royce Model 250-CR30 engine with Honeywell's HTS900-2: a 50% more powerful alternative leveraged from the cancelled ARH-70. R-R, however, has countered with an offer to increase the 250's thrust by up to 12%.
If preserving the OH-58D is the army's preferred approach, it also can look at an offer from AVX, a Texas-based start-up founded by mostly former Bell engineers.
AVX is proposing to transform the OH-58D into a compound helicopter with about 25% greater speed. The development could be made at a fraction of the cost of Bell's re-engining programme, AVX claims. The US Army is considering a range of options for the future of the Bell Helicopter OH-58D. Picture: US Army _________________  | |

AgustaWestland Completes the First AW109 LUH/LOH Operators Conference
Over 40 delegates attended the first AgustaWestland AW109 LUH/LOH Operators Conference recently held at AgustaWestland’s Vergiate plant in Italy. The event brought operators and industry together to discuss the helicopter’s operations in the Far East, Africa, and Europe. Delegates were also given presentations and updates by representatives from engine and avionics suppliers Turbomeca and Thales. The delegates received briefings by AgustaWestland’s Customer Support, Engineering and Training Academy organisations and by the main AW109 LUH/LOH programme suppliers and partners. The briefings allowed industry and operators to share views and information about the aircraft’s operational effectiveness, current and future product improvements and new customer support organisation initiatives that are intended to further enhance the services and response times provided to customers. Briefings were also given on operators “real-life” experiences with the AW109 LUH/LOH in varying operational scenarios including ship board operations.
Richard Nevill, AgustaWestland’s Senior Vice President Customer Support speaking after the conference said “This first AW109 LUH/LOH event was of great benefit to all participants, allowing operators and industry to openly share ideas, information and experiences that will allow us to continue to improve the service we provide and for the operators to maximise the capabilities and effectiveness of their aircraft.” The success of this event has already led to the establishment by attendees of the “AgustaWestland AW109 LUH/LOH User Group” to allow them to continue to exchange information on operational aspects and other areas of common interest.
The AW109 Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) has become the world’s best selling military light-twin helicopter, with orders for over 100 helicopters so far, able to satisfy a wide range of land-based as well as sea-based requirements. The AW109 LUH offers state-of-the-art mission-dedicated technology and equipment enhancing operational effectiveness while reducing pilot workload, together with unmatched performance, reliability, availability, serviceability and safety standards. Operators use their AW109 LUHs in a wide range of environmental conditions from the tropical heat of Malaysia to the extreme cold conditions of Sweden in winter. The aircraft is also used for a wide range of roles including training, troop transport, medical evacuation, search and rescue, maritime patrol, observation, armed escort and anti-armour. Some recent notable AW109 LUH deployments include ones carried out by the South Africa Air Force and Swedish Armed Forces. Up to 16 of the South African Air Force’s AW109LUHs were deployed during the 2010 Football World Cup to provide enhanced security across the country, mainly performing low altitude patrol, utility and medical evacuation duties. The Swedish Armed Forces deployed two helicopters to the Gulf of Aden this year for anti-piracy duties with AgustaWestland actively assisting the urgent requirement by providing various modifications. The modifications included the installation of ballistic protection and sand filters as well as the development of a deployment spare parts package. The AW109 LUH is being evaluated by several potential new customers to meet their future military requirements.

- NH90 : Le point sur le programme
crédits : ALEXANDRE DUBATH - EUROCOPTER
|
14/01/2011
La livraison à la Marine nationale de son troisième NH90 est l'occasion de faire le point sur ce programme. Le nouvel hélicoptère a été jusqu'ici retenu par 14 pays, qui ont commandé plus de 500 machines, dont 111 en version navalisée (NFH - Nato Frigate Helicopter). Livrée à ce jour à 50 exemplaires à 6 pays, la version « terrestre » est, quant à elle, appelée TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter). Pour la France, l'Italie, l'Allemagne, les Pays-Bas, le Portugal et la Belgique, le contrat est géré par la NAHEMA (Nato Helicopter Management Agency). Industriellement, l'hélicoptère est développé, produit et supporté par le consortium NH Industries, composé d'Eurocopter (62.5%), AgustaWestland ( 32%) et Fokker Landing Gear (5.5%). Un programme complexe
Ce schéma a permis de fédérer les besoins de nombreux pays tout en rassemblant les forces des deux grands hélicoptéristes européens et d'une centaine de sociétés sous-traitantes de premier rang. Mais il a aussi abouti à une gestion complexe du fait du nombre importants d'acteurs étatiques et industriels impliqués. La multiplication des versions (23 au total), mais aussi les difficultés techniques inhérentes au développement et à l'intégration de nouveaux équipements, n'ont pas facilité les choses et, au final, le programme accuse plusieurs années de retard. Face aux difficultés rencontrées, une réorganisation au niveau de l'industrie, initiée en 2008, a permis de simplifier la direction et l'administration du programme pour accélérer les prises de décision. Depuis, les difficultés semblent largement surmontées. Premières livraisons en 2010 du NFH
Concernant la version NFH, 111 hélicoptères ont donc été commandés, soit 46 pour l'Italie, 27 pour la France, 20 pour les Pays-Bas, 14 pour la Norvège et 4 pour la Belgique. Les marines néerlandaise et française ont touché leurs premiers appareils en 2010. Chacune dispose actuellement de 3 machines. En 2011, l'Italie et la Norvège recevront à leur tour leurs premiers NH90, la Belgique devant quant à elle être servie en 2012. L'aéronautique navale tricolore, pour laquelle 27 « Caïman » ont été commandés, prévoit, à l'issue d'une campagne d'expérimentation, une mise en service fin 2011. Deux standards
Lutte antinavire et anti-sous-marine, transport d'assaut, logistique, secours en mer, surveillance maritime... Le NH90 sera un appareil extrêmement polyvalent permettant de remplacer par un même hélicoptère nettement plus performant le Lynx, le Super Frelon ou encore le Sea King. Le passage d'une configuration à une autre est facilité par l'usage de kits, avec une reconfiguration automatique des calculateurs de l'hélicoptère en fonction de la configuration choisie. Présentant une masse d'environ 10 tonnes, l'autonomie du NH90 est supérieure à 4 heures, soit 480 nautiques franchissables. Les premiers Caïman Marine opérationnels cette année au sein de la flottille 31F ne disposeront toutefois pas, dans un premier temps, de toutes les fonctionnalités. Les premiers NFH sont, en effet, livrés au Step A, qui comprend toutes les fonctions majeures, à l'exception des armes. Le standard final, appelé Step B, doit être livré en 2012 et permettra notamment la mise en oeuvre missiles et torpilles, d'un sonar trempé FLASH et de bouées acoustiques. On notera d'ailleurs qu'allié aux frégates de nouvelle génération, comme les FREMM, le NH90 constituera une menace redoutable pour un sous-marin hostile.
Les spécificités de la version navale
Commandes de vol électriques, fuselage en composite, capacités anti-crash, résistances aux ambiances d'environnement et d'électromagnétisme sévères, système de contre-mesures... La base du NFH est commune avec la version terrestre du NH90. Son cockpit très ergonomique est équipé d'écrans multifonctions et son fuselage en composite le rend plus léger et plus discret face aux radars. Par rapport au TTH, le NFH dispose d'un certain nombre de particularités, liées aux missions qui lui seront confiées et à l'environnement dans lequel il évoluera. La version navalisée du NH90 comprend un radar panoramique (360°) offrant une vision étendue du domaine maritime et optimisé pour la lutte antinavire comme ASM (détection de périscopes). Il dispose aussi de radios et liaisons de données spécifiques (L11), ainsi que d'un système de veille électro-optique (boule FLIR) pour la détection et le pistage de cibles, de jour comme de nuit. Taillé pour les frégates
Pour la mise en oeuvre sur bâtiments de surface, l'hélicoptère est doté d'un train d'atterrissage renforcé, d'un harpon pour les appontages, ainsi que d'un système automatique de repliage des pales et de la poutre de queue pour le stockage dans le hangar des frégates. Cette catégorie de bâtiments est, d'ailleurs, « dimensionnante » en termes d'appontage, surtout par mauvais temps, les mouvements de la plateforme provoquant d'importantes contraintes sur les trains. Une campagne de qualification au delà du cercle arctique a, notamment, été mené en 2008 sur une frégate norvégienne par mer forte avec appontages par différents angles de vent par rapport à l'hélicoptère. En matière d'armement, les NH90 NFH pourront mettre en oeuvre des missiles antinavire de type Marte Mk2/S (Italie et Norvège) ou ANL/FASGW (projet franco-britannique de nouveau missile antinavire léger). Dans le domaine de la lutte anti-sous-marine, l'appareil sera doté de torpilles MU90 (France et Italie), Mk46 (Pays-Bas) et Sting Ray (Norvège). Enfin, pour les missions de contre-terrorisme et de lutte contre le narcotrafic ou la piraterie, le NH90 pourra embarquer un tireur d'élite. La version soutien
Dans sa version transport (ou soutien), le NFH pourra accueillir 14 soldats en plus de son équipage. Cette variante disposera d'une rampe arrière et pourra assurer le transport de charges OTAN grâce à un système de montée de charges par treuil avec rails intégrés. Le NH90 sera également à même de réaliser des évacuations médicales, y compris en zone de combat, ainsi que des missions de sauvetage maritime. Pour cela, l'équipage s'appuiera notamment sur le détecteur infrarouge de la boule FLIR et sur le radar panoramique, le treuil permettant de transférer du personnel, des civières ou du fret.

New tests for the Cyclone
The new CH-148 Cyclone, which arrived at Shearwater January 6, will be undergoing further testing on board HMCS Montréal. The tests will last several weeks, under the direction of Sikorsky International Operations Inc., prime contractor on the Maritime Helicopter Project.
The CH-148 Cyclone will provide anti-submarine surveillance, and will have enhanced search and rescue and tactical transport capabilities. Tests of the operational limits of a ship-borne helicopter will make a notable contribution to the Project, which seeks to replace the existing Sea King fleet that has been in service since the 1960s.
HMCS Montréal will serve as a prototype during the tests, and the vessel has undergone considerable modification so that the tests may be conducted in optimal fashion. Since the modifications were made, HMCS Montréal has successfully completed Air Work-Ups, which tested the abilities of the crew to conduct routine flying operations, respond to in-flight emergencies and to a helicopter crash, and combat shipboard fires.
This new stage in the Project testifies to the Canadian Government’s desire to provide the Canadian Forces with modern equipment that can be rapidly deployed to provide international security and react to threats to Canada and to North America airforce.forces.gc.ca | |

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (April 18, 2011) – Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company (NYSE: TXT) announces the first flight of its OH-58 Block II demonstrator at its Xworx research and development facility in Fort Worth, Texas on April 14, 2011.
"The flight was flawless and completed according to plan," said Cathy Ferrie, Director of Bell Helicopter’s Xworx facility. "The Block II is a significant leap forward in performance for the Kiowa Warrior platform and will absolutely make this a 21st Century airframe for the 21st Century soldier."
Bell Helicopter is developing this OH-58 Block II fleet representative demonstrator to facilitate prototyping activities in anticipation of a U.S. Army future requirement of 6K/95 performance. The Block II OH-58 provides an attractive, cost efficient alternative for the U.S. Army and U.S. taxpayer, and will demonstrate Bell helicopter’s ability to meet or exceed all performance requirements for the Army’s Armed Aerial Scout. Bell Helicopter is developing this aircraft with its own resources and at no cost to the government.
The Block II demonstrator takes an OH-58 Kiowa Warrior and makes it a fast fielding, low risk and lowest cost solution to achieve 6,000ft and 95 degree performance. The “high-hot” performance can be attained with propulsion and drive training upgrades to the existing platform. This upgrade program builds upon the F model Cockpit and Sensor Upgrade Program (CASUP) improvements by adding a new engine, transmission and rotor system.“
By continuing to upgrade the OH-58F into a Block II program, the Army will save money that they can invest in future technologies or future platforms,” said Stephen Eppinette, Army business development manager. “It will also give the Army and the tax payer a return for the money invested in the F model program.”
Along with the performance upgrades, the Block II will adopt fully integrated condition-based maintenance (CBM) technologies so that the aircraft will have higher performance, increased safety, and greater operational readiness while reducing life-cycle costs.
With more than 750,000 fleet combat hours, the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is a combat- proven aircraft that is safe, rugged and reliable, maintaining the highest readiness rate of any Army helicopter operating in Afghanistan while simultaneously having the highest operational tempo bellhelicopter | |

Sikorsky Delivers S-70iTM BLACK HAWK Helicopters to Launch Customer
August 05, 2011
 MIELEC, Poland - Sikorsky has delivered three S-70™ BLACK HAWK helicopters to an undisclosed customer. The helicopters — assembled, completed to customer specifications, and flight tested at Sikorsky’s production facility in Mielec, Poland — are the first-ever deliveries of the international variant of Sikorsky’s iconic BLACK HAWK helicopter. Sikorsky is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
The three medium-lift aircraft are among six S-70i BLACK HAWK aircraft assembled and flight tested at PZL Mielec since the Polish company became part of U.S.-based Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in 2007. They departed Poland’s Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport inside an Antonov An-124 Ruslan cargo aircraft following a week of flight acceptance activities in the skies over Poland.
“PZL Mielec has proven it can build and flight test a new variant of the BLACK HAWK helicopter to the very highest standards,” said Robert Mastronardi, S-70i senior program manager, Sikorsky Military Systems. “The aircraft acceptance process confirmed the high quality of these aircraft and professionalism of the PZL Mielec team.”
The company plans to expand production to 10 aircraft in 2012, and to 22 helicopters in 2013.
The S-70i helicopter can be configured for multiple missions, such as troop support, humanitarian relief, VIP transport, search and rescue, medical evacuation, and armed patrol.
“The S-70i helicopter features typical BLACK HAWK reliability, and excellent performance coupled with the most modern avionics to reduce pilot workload,” said Leszek Pawuła, S-70i test pilot at PZL Mielec. “The aircraft provides a safe and stable platform for equipment needed to perform many varied missions, retaining its extreme maneuverability. It’s pure pleasure to fly this helicopter.”
The aircraft’s two T700-GE701D engines, digital avionics, and modern wide chord rotor blades produce the same power and lift performance as the UH-60M BLACK HAWK aircraft flown by the U.S. Army.
Advanced avionics — also standard to the S-70i BLACK HAWK helicopter — include a fully integrated digital cockpit, a dual digital automatic flight control system and coupled flight director, an active vibration control system, and a dual GPS/INS system with digital map.
A proven performer, the BLACK HAWK consistently maintains reliability rates of approximately 85 percent, even when flying in harsh environments.
Since 2007, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation has invested more than $100 million to establish a modern production operation at the PZL Mielec facility, increasing employment by 30 percent. Since the arrival of the BLACK HAWK production, PZL Mielec has increased its employment numbers and now employs over 2,000 people. As a key investor in the Polish “Aviation Valley,” Sikorsky has stimulated the development of the domestic aviation industry.
Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford, Conn., USA, is a world leader in helicopter design, manufacture and service. United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Conn., USA, provides a broad range of high technology products and support services to the aerospace and building systems industries.

Software Change Gives V-22 Pilots More Lift Options
9/20/2011
Printer friendly
A test team from the V-22 Joint Program Office spent about six weeks in Logan, Utah confirming that a small software change will result in more lift capability for the Osprey.
The actual change, which is barely observable to the eye, calls for the V-22 rotors to be tilted about four degrees outward. This change reduces the air flow from the rotors over the wings, which allows the V-22 to carry more weight and achieve greater overall performance in hover mode.
“We did see the performance gain from the software change that we expected,” said Trevor Strand, V-22 flight test engineer. “It gives the pilot more options. He can either carry more fuel, more troops, go to higher altitudes, or some combination of the three.”
Strand led the 30-person integrated test team (ITT) during the off-site test at the Logan-Cache Airport during July and August. The ITT flew 25 test flights in 31 days. This effort was the result of about two years of work by NAVAIR engineers to improve the hover performance of the V-22.
The software change that was measured and confirmed in Logan has already been implemented into some MV-22s. The plan is to upgrade all V-22s by the end of the year. The test team is currently updating performance documentation for V-22 operators.
The V-22 team averages about one off-site test event a year. Considerable research and planning goes into finding just the right spot.
“We don’t like to do all of our hover performance testing at sea level because the proprotor is not working at its maximum limits,” Strand said. “We don’t want to max out the engines at a very high altitude like 9,000 feet either so the ideal location is somewhere in between.”
At about 4,400 feet in elevation, Logan provided an ideal test location including the required wind conditions.
“It was one of the most successful off-sites that we’ve ever had,” Strand said.
The test team took one MV-22 Osprey to Logan for the test and it was available 100 percent of the time.
“The entire team did an outstanding job,” said Mike Caram, V-22 test manager. “It was a very productive off-site with a lot of great work on everyone's part.”
