So did Boeing and every other maker.
The issues of power and practicality Kick in through. As well as finances. They also have done this in the past with concepts like the KA90. All flash no finish.

And they actually have results.
JMR is here, so someone(or both) is going to get their piece of pie.
There is a big difference here: unlike ka-90/92, prospective highspeed combat helicopter is an army acquisition program, not just an initiative.

Have big ambitions, but keep your feet planted firmly to the ground. Never forget that you are meant to achieve greatness and never forget, as humans we have everything to gain in this world and the hereafter.
I commend the Russians for their ambitions and wait anxiously to see them achieve their ambitions. The Russians have developed some of the most graceful, functional, and innovative machines, in history. Be it the Su-27 Flankers, MiG-29 Fulcrums, T-90 main battle tanks, or their formidable Air Defense Complexes.
The future is bright and glorious for Russia. Keep on charging, and never let anyone put you down.

JMR and FVL are looking to a fairly reasonable speed set 400-500 KPH this is looking to beyond that. Which is problematic as if it is supposed to max speed at 700KPH...
In this case they flew away....
760kph is about the speed of sound, unlike the speed of light the speed of sound does vary based on local atmospheric pressure, humidity and such. At 700KPH this thing would be flyingwith super sonic rotors. That's not good for a helicopter. The blades at near supersonic speed take on drag and vibration it creates a dissimilar lift situation and the aircraft looses control.
A coaxial and wings can off load some of the weight of the aircraft allowing more lift and a reduced speed of rotation but at 700KPH So close to the speed of sound it would have to disable the rotor entirely and basically store it. That's what KA90 and the Boeing X50 were looking into.
Yet just as unlikely to come to be realized. But also big difference in that these show a conventional coaxial rotor system. The KA90 was a Conard rotor Wing.
KA92 was practical though and far more likely to be suited to Russian military service. A coaxial compound with pusher like the Raider and Defiant.

Can I just point to the guy on the lower left here... That's a pretty skeptical looking reaction.It depends. Kamov has what it takes to be credible.
The design might fly but not at 700 KPh
guys 700kph is not the speed of sound. Miles maybe

Well I feel like a moron.
Well, 280+ knots cruise is what bell wants to achieve with their v-280. Still much slower, but the difference isn't nearly as fundamental anymore.
