EXCLUSIVE: The Proposed Indian Multirole Helicopter (IMRH) Detailed

[lover]

The Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH), which should hopefully soon begin development with the selection of an international technology partner, finally has a set of final specs (they underwent a change last year). The image you see above is the first diagrammatic representation of the helicopter from official material being prepared for documents that will follow up the invitations for Expressions of Interest (EoI) sent out last year.

HAL has proposed that the platform needs to have an all-up weight of 13 metric tons, a maximum speed of 275-km/h and a service ceiling of 22,000 ft. The Indian military wants the helicopter to have a payload capacity of 3,500-kg and range of 500-km at sea level. The IMRH platform is to sport a five-blade composite main rotor with a four-bladed composite tail rotor, twin turboshaft engines with dual full authority digital engine controls. The powerplants would be required to have a 30-minute dry-run capable transmission system. All IMRHs will have glass cockpits — using equipment from Halbit Systems, DARE and Samtel.

The bid is stuck, however, at the EoI stage, with four companies wondering what is happening. Companies that have responded to HAL’s invitation include Eurocopter (EC725 Caracal), Sikorsky (S-92A), Agusta-Westland (AW101) and Mil (Mi-17-IV).

Officially the IMRH mission spectrum includes troop movement, high-altitude air maintenance, offshore operations, heliborne and amphibious assault operations, anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare. An armed gunship version is also expected to be concurrently developed. Other proposed variants include civil transport, VVIP transport, and air-ambulance.

Already arse on fire. That's
No ordinary arse. That's "can't build own moped engine" arse. Trying to feel good by belittling others efforts while limiting one's efforts to sucking yellow balls.

Why Ecuador? Any country that can afford it can express interest and buy.

Thats who you sold dodgy helicoptors to and set you back years in terms of exporting quality defence products. you should at least offer rebate or replacement in line with terms of business.

What do you mean dodgy helicopters? They are not helicopters? They dont fly?

I understand what are you trying to accomplish. However, do you understand what happened? Or is that not necessary?. Also, do you know where Ecuador is and India is? Geographically? Do you know how support contracts are made?

But no no, go ahead.

To me

Old design, basically an elongated Dhruv

New design, clear MI influence added with intake and exhaust placed just like the MI.
