Future High Speed Helicopter and next generation rotorcraft

[TerraN_EmpirE]

The V22 allows the V280 to be developed because a ton of lessons learned built the infrastructure. V280 is building the MV75.
what this demonstration shows it a vertical take off probably a few flights in as the landing gear is partially retracted. However a take off is not a transition and transition makes and breaks the tiltrotor. Bell and Leonardo spent years working out most of the issue of the transition and power transfer of the V22 and V609. Yet it still has problems from time to time. This is China’s first manned tiltrotor and they are trying to use the V280’s engine transmission system.

Of course they are. The Osprey tilting engine system is a dead end. It makes the whole system more complicated, buggy, and heavy.
Why waste time with it?

How far away are we from electric motors in those wing tips? With electricity producing turbine somewhere in the hull, closer to the center of mass? Right now 1+ mw electric rotors are being matured, so something osprey sized is still some decades away? Unless it gets more distributed, like a quad rotor concept ?

There are people working on hybrid electric engines for civilian transport turboprops. But thus far I heard of nothing for military helicopters. And batteries still don't have enough density for large helicopters I think.

You technically don’t need the whole powertrain to be electric. Can just do hydrid.

Here's short video clip of the pic of the tiltrotor flying if it hasn't been posted somewhere yet.

I assume you mean timestamp 00:10-00:19

If so, it looks like AI to me.

There have been lots of AI generated videos based off still imagery recently, with other examples including the new medium tank moving its RWS with the crew moving their head, as well as a few months back earlier this year the J-36 coming in for landing in the evening.

The distinctive features of such videos tend to be the video looking too clean, where the camera lens seems to be from a single position unmoving.

Other red flags should be:
- if the original source of a video is not from a credible Chinese language source
- if they are first seen off YouTube or twitter and the source cannot be traced.

In general, if something looks too good to be true and it has not been posted here yet, then that should also raise a red flag as well. At minimum having a high index of suspicion and asking "is this real" should be prudent imo

Calling out AI is useful, but could you and others write in a manner which is less Reddit/twitter-speak?

Being less colloquial is a good thing.

The reason they use low power turboshaft engines is because these are what is available in China right now. This is good enough to figure out the problems of making a tiltrotor in a prototype.

But you already have the carrier AWACS aircraft KJ-600. Their turboprop engine converted into a turboshaft should have the power level for an Osprey sized aircraft.

Hi,
converting turboprops into a turbo shaft is somewhat like making a new engine from start or
is it like in and out kind of elements from a engine to get ready the other one
thank you
