VK-1600V - a turboshaft power
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- The VK-1600V is a turboshaft aircraft engine created at the Klimov Design Bureau of the Russian United Engine Corporation.
The VK-1600V has cruising powers of 600 and 900 hp. with takeoff power up to 1400 hp. and emergency - 1750 hp, created for medium-sized civil and military helicopters, primarily for the Ka-62.
The VK-1600V has an optimal design for its power level, using a number of advanced technical solutions and, in terms of performance, is close to engines of a similar class. The project is being implemented at a high pace, achieved through the use of the latest solutions: computer modeling and 3D printing, the scale of which has not previously been achieved in Russia. At the end of 2023, the engine is at the testing stage and is being prepared for installation on the helicopter. There are also plans to create a turboprop version - the VK-1600S, which can be installed on light aircraft.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas, aviation fans! See you in 2024)
Happy new year, Sky!
I'm amazed by how far engines in general have progressed in efficiency, power, and reliability- No matter the manufacturer. Great video as always Sky👍🍻
especially reliability consindering how fast they spin.
That KA 62 is a slick machine
It really is. It looks modern while still somehow keeping a cool Russian look that makes it different from Western machines.
Ah, fresh video from Sky, like a Christmas present that got lost in the mail and showed up a couple days late and was exactly what you hoped to get.
thanks bro, always look forward to your works of art!
Skyship Eng always comes when most needed.
This engine could fit in a car! Very cool.
No way man, I vote drag bike. =)
There was a car long ago with a Rolls Royce Merlin (Spitfire) engine, but with all the fibreglass and polycarbonate used in cars today this might melt the car behind when stopped at a red light!
Sky's english has improved so much from his earlier videos.
The two stage centrifugal compressor is definitely something new. Pretty sure i have never seen that.
I'm a sucker for ducted tail rotor helicopters. I remember the first time seeing a Eurocopter Dauphin. I was a kid at the time, and at first I thought it was the RAH-66 Comanche I used to read about in magazines with different paint. 😂
I like the Fenestron too.
To all my classmates who worked on the Comanche, i salute you. 👍
Awesome video as always Sky , Your video presentations are first rate and very professional and yes a great Christmas gift .
And your take on renewed Il 96 400M , TU 204 testing . Thank you for 2023 departure gift.
I'm waiting for the new SSJ-100 (it's the SJ-100 now, as I know)
@@flyerkiller5073 Testing and engine certification to start in Jan/Feb
Nothing new about the IL-96 really. It's been around for a few years as a cargo transport. Do you mean TU-214?
Excellent documentation - interesting, well done - great video supporting material. Thank you for that!
Nice video
Thank you very much for these videos.
Also Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Cool. Looking forward to see PT6 alternative. That will shuffle the cards significantly. Wish em lot of success in the next year as well as to you.
A great challenge overcome for Russia to replace foreign machines with its own designs ...demonstrates the true capacity of Russian engineering. I think that demand is assured because the helicopters that were imported from foreigners will deteriorate and there will be no parts for their maintenance. so it will be financially more profitable to replace them with Russian-made helicopters which I personally think are more multifunctional designs and meet the same requirements. regards from COL
Great to hear from you Sky, that is an amazing power plant I can see them being used for APUs ship power and even some GPUs maybe some generators and drilling applications
I don't think those applications would benefit from the extreme lightness at the expense of costs and moreover the 3000h maintenance interval
@@salmiakki5638 once production ramps up and there will be variations so price may stabilize and perhaps drop
I've heard of the KA-60 and KA-62. They were repeatedly mentioning in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, for example:
"Looks like the Tanker's theirs now,"
(Buzz of a helicopter)
"KA-60 Kasatka!"
"Kasatka?! Kamov chopper right, 'Killer Whale,"
"We need to get a fix on who they are,"
"Judging by their transport, aren't they some kind of military commandos?"
"Not necessarily, it could be the KA-62, the Civil Model,"
thanks for the video!
Nice design!
An excellent presentation!
So cool you actually get to film the metal in person!
NICE TEAM WORK

Ah, it's always comforting for me to hear the sound of Skys voice. I don't know why but it comforts me. I think that's a big part of why i like some creators more than others. Great content is part of it, but i just like to listen to them. Forgotten Weapons, Skyships, Josh Prime and Tones Overthinks It. Found Leon Lush recently and he's very amusing at least, not sure yet if he has The Voice.
Also re. Vk-1600 vs VK-650 dev speed: the latter is needed and fast. Ansat and Ka-226 are in widespread use, and there is a big export contract with India that has been in the works. They need something import substituted ASAP. Ka-62 on the other hand has been in development hell for years and has barely any real orders.
The Ka-62 is rather in corruption hell; there were already a number of scandals during its creation.
Two thumbs and two toes up!
wow... ka62 is interesting. very unusual landing gear.
You guys in Russia are really really lucky having access to all those precious rare alloys and in the construction of those beautiful beautiful engines.
Since the replacement programmes in Russia started their economy is booming.
They always had solid engineering departments, but lack of funding and collapse of the Soviet Union put them into hibernation.
Nice to see them going at it again with their perspective on innovation and manufacturing.
Congratulations
Good Luck in 10 Years Time counting from 2024. 🎉❤😗🤔🤗😘😎😋😁
Once the ka62 is certified with the new vk1600, the army will relaunch the ka60 project, which will represent a significant sales volume for Klimov.
What does the army have to do with it? these engines are for civil aviation. The army has more powerful engines on helicopters and they are produced separately.
@@igorvasin6960 "kamov ka60 project".
@@igorvasin6960the helicopter was originally designed for the Russian armed forces, but rejected because of foreign components.
I like how you skirt the political component of the story you tell in this upload. Very diplomatic of you. Kudos!
interesting engine! 3 power modes?!!!
At 12:30 isn’t that the plane Draco? The crazy turboprop bush plane that M Patty built and put on YT?
Please don't criticize or bring up politics, Wrong place and time. Anyone who has been a fan of the channel for years knows Skyship is not political and does an awesome job talking about technical facts with no bias.
No politics, just metal)
its good to critize something that doesnt good as others
The engine wouldn't even exist without the current geopolitical tensions - how do you expect him to talk about it without referring (tastefully) to that? It would be a vastly incomplete presentation.
Agreed 👍
@@athompso99Pretty much. Pretending things are done with no influence from interpersonal and intergroup relations is wishful thinking. One should still reference the political related situation when it is relevant.
Wow! Is that a hairdryer?
Dam Russians always coming up with cool stuff.
Everything Russian is a copy from America
I wonder what happened to the KA-60 and 62
Too many foreign-sourced parts and pricey.
@@OOpSjm Did the project get cancelled or still on-going ?
@@MDSR17455 video touched on the potential for the model going forward.
@@OOpSjm Yes my comment was before I fully watched the video. I d apologised for that
Please examine the Tei production Ts1400 engine.
During this time period, I suspect that those engines will be used in military applications, not civilian.
Interesting use of the bolts to hold the sections together at 8:56 mark. The bolts are different in size and there are a lot of extra bolt thread showing. It is standard in aerospace to select the bolt length that will result in 2 threads showing. It saves weight, and the small extra thread length allows the mechanics to inspect the bolts for proper engagement. Extra threads just mean there will be extra useless weight. The Russian don't have the quality control as in the West.
Aviation standards are the same. Sky was in the office of the Klimov engine designers. These engines are laboratory prototypes, destined to serve in testing, be disassembled and reassembled many times. This is not even an exhibition pre-production engine, nor is it a production model. You can see in the still frame that the fastening nuts may differ in shades of color.
Это очередной миф, который не расппространяется на высокотехнологичные отрасли или критические узлы
@@Nahal0nokdude had just brought his 'west is better' lines and you schooled him the best way possible. Thanks
@@geofreyssenteza591
As though you haven't notice, the West just cornered the market in aerospace. Yes, the West schooled the Russkies. Plus there is nothing I said that was incorrect, as matter of fact, the poster agreed. Get some schooling before commenting.
Engunes are good or going to be good no doubt. But that's exactly what catch my eye immediately. I taught oohh the bolts are too long, extra weight for nothing. I can see it's a preproduction piece but still maybe it should have all components like flying piece. Then again in comercial aviation in general engineers are trying to shave of the weight everywhere possible just so HR can hire overweight flight attendants and even overweight pilots.
❤❤
✌
Price ?
My respect to Russian engineers
Yeah, great steeling ability)))
@@rashad.You sound so ignorant as F
This engine is a copy of the Ukrainian engines Motor Sich and Ivchenko Progress
The Ka-60/62 saga deserves a video of its own. I'm not even sure what the point of it is at this time.
Кто еще не орнул с неохлаждаемых рабочих лопаток ТВД? Афтар молодец - расширил аудиторию.
And yet no popup saying a new video is out, fkin yt
Can Australia produce
Helicopter engines?
Maybe only sheep and beef????!?
I am disappointed to see dove tail connections on a new engine design. Leaves a lot of performance on the table, specially since blisk have been available since the 90s in the west.
Looks like a uh-60…
It's an uphill battle to secure foreign orders for Russian products even though we know they are reliable and productive.
Russian aircraft manufacturing enterprises are focused primarily on the domestic Russian market, and the domestic market is now a reserve for them; competitors abandoned it themselves.
It makes sense to focus on the domestic market considering the never ceasing negative attitude of certain governments towards Russia. They forget that Russians are people to and are entitled to the same basic rights as anyone else and to prosper from their endeavours. The competitors probably had little choice but to pull out. @@Pangolin_6483

I take a 650 🥂
Turboshaft and turboprop was the biggest problem of Soviet Union and then of Russia since the second world war. It was a misfortune that when industrial revolution was happening other things was going on in USSR. The mistake is that so many years USSR didn't copy paste (as the Chinese) such engines and then move on....
In short, it is good but not to good because it's Russian, right.
russian and engine are never on the same page in engineering books.
1000% never getting in a Russian aircraft with domestic engines developed during the War... deathtrap
Ahh! My regular dose of comically mangled English.
I'm very sorry to all Russian people about the decisions your government had made, how those decisions are destroying your economy and the hard times you will have to endure as a result. I know the Russian people have great abilities to innovate and produce fantastic products. I'm sorry you won't have the resources or markets to do so for the decades to come.
Even this video mentions the problem of developing Russian production. The market is occupied by competitors.
Sanctions make domestic products in demand.
Is this not clear? Then look at the growth of industrial production in Russia in 2023.
We need to feel sorry for Western engineers. The Western economic model makes their work too expensive. The desire to export the dollar leads to the need to withdraw production.
The results are already noticeable, but wait... effective managers will finish off the rest of the designers.
You must be delusional 😂 the Russian people are doing very well. Only European country with a growing economy, low energy prices, and a housing market where most people can afford homes with cash and no need to take a mortgage or bank loan. Russia is extremely rich in resources and every domestic sector is seeing exponential growth. Only country that has access to every conceivable resource (steel, oil, uranium, titanium) nothing needs to be imported. More gas than they can burn and more food than they can eat. There isn't even any homelessness like that you see in every Western city. Western sanctions and the pull out of western organizations were the best thing to ever happen to Russia. The other 80% of the world remains extremely close. India, China and the rest of the BRICS nations are far better trade partners than Europe has ever been.
This is a great example of how the west has brainwashed it's citizens to believe being taxed to death with nothing given in return, not even healthcare in the case of USA, somehow makes them lucky 😂
bầy đàn phương tây luôn sợ người nga phát triển hơn họ tại sao bầy sói lại run rẩy 😂
why are you talking as if the european and american markets are the only markets that exist in the world? for the economy, have you seen the numbers in reuters? for the resources, they are almost completely self sufficient...
please, if you aree going to talk about a subject, study it first at least a bit
You are very much mistaken, as are your propaganda media.These helicopters have orders for many years and decades ahead in Russian structures (Russia is the largest and developing country in the world), as well as orders for many years to India, Iran, Asian countries, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, as well as many African countries.In order to meet the needs of these markets, dozens of factories need to be built all over Russia. These helicopters are already the best in the world in terms of flight and technical characteristics and price.
Russia is my favorite country.
You need medication....

Weird time to be celebrating things Russian.
Y?
There is much more to Russia than the Russian government's misguided choice to invade Ukraine, just as there is much more to the United States than the American government's misguided choice to invade Iraq.
Stolen from which engine? )) Because its russian thing to stole any technology from west and then present like there is theirs or superior )))))
Your coment is stolen. You can't come with anything original, therefore you project.
The Russians were unable to steal and copy American propaganda. Turns out brainwashed zombies already exist.
It is the West that has always stolen both specialists and theology in Russia .technology since the beginning of the century. Russian engineer Sikorsky with Russian drawings of the first helicopters was stolen by the United States from Russia at the beginning of the twentieth century. After space shuttles with astronauts exploded during takeoff in the eighties and nineties, since those years the United States has been using Russian RD-170 engines today, because they cannot develop their own, and those that are all based on RD-170.Elon Musk himself officially stated several years ago that the Russian RD-170 engines are the most advanced engine in the world for many years, and the best one will not be created for a very long time. Russia has adopted supersonic Dagger missiles, but the United States cannot create this, and the Pentagon has developed a program for many millions on how to introduce these technologies in Russia.Russia has transferred partial technologies to China, North Korea and already Iran, and the United States with seven overbought engineers from around the world has not come close to creating a supersonic missile.
Russia is the first country in the world to launch a space satellite in 1957, the first lunar rover on the Moon, the first cosmonaut into space in 1961, as well as the first spacewalk (Leonov in 1965) is also Russian. Russia was the first in the world to launch the Salyut-1 orbital station into space in 1971, but the United States, with overbought engineers and designers from this world, could not do this, and asked Russians to help with these space technologies. Today, Russia has created an underwater torpedo with a Poseidon nuclear engine, which moves under water with a speed of more than 200 km/hour, and descends to a depth of 1000 km. The USA will not be able to design and produce such a thing in 20-30 years.
Stealth is an invention of the USSR, Stealth aircraft were not invented by Americans, the Americans (however, as they often did and continue to do to this day) stole the idea, technology and calculations from the USSR, or to be more precise, from a young Soviet scientist Pyotr Yakovlevich Ufimtsev.
and how many washing machines need to be stolen by ruSSia for Ukraine to build this engine? Wonder from whom was plas stolen this time.....
Only if you watch CNN,CBS,SKY NEWS..etc. you will believe in Washing machines, chip's (Russia use Domestic ones and Chinese built) and stolen plans.... in Reality West steal so much technologies originated in Soviet Union/Russia, even Stealth technology is stolen research from Soviet/Russian physicist and mathematician Pyotr Yakovlevich Ufimtsev.
Your desperate 😂
better question is how are they going to source 3d printing materials, 3d software, 3~5 axis milling machines and support for them to manufacture these engines, because none of that is manufactured in russia, so their famous - importzameshenie (import substitution), is but a joke (for now), because the supply chain simply switched from west to east, traded one dependency for another, and what they can't source in the east, they do through myriad of shell companies in west (and why their costs end up noncompetitive in the end)
@@dsfs17987kompass is western 3d software I got it
@@dsfs17987 they have materials... They have been at vanguard of composites, alloys, crystal growth and ceramics for decades. Software, it's Russia, the whole world runs on Russian software, just we don't hear it. Most of codes and basis systems runs on Russian codes, specially node internet and server centers. All US giant soft companies use software made in or by Russians. iNYX is Russian, without it couldn't be internet. Google is based on Russian codes, if you look at the higher names of US soft companies they are full of Russian names.
Their bottleneck is high precision CNC machines. But they made a giant investment years ago with a lot of dutch, German french and japanese transfers. Look videos of their current factories all japanese and German precision machines. Plus China now eating the market is a matter of time until China surpasses the rest of the world in high precision machinery.
