By eliminating the tail rotor, safety in the air and on the ground is significantly increased. Likewise, having no tail rotor enables the contra-rotating rotors to have more power to provide lift.

Actually "what we have here" is a plastic mock up.

So AVX has finally graduated to making Paper Aircraft rather than just Concept Art. Remember seeing art for this about five years ago. Thought they'd folded since then, but glad to see they haven't. Hopefully at some point they'll get the money to build a prototype and see if it works as well as they think it will.

Where is the Chinese dude taking high res pictures and video of everything in AUSA?

To me, these type of aircraft are the future of helicopters.

who else wants a JANE'S sim for 2020?

These look almost EXACTLY like the war birds in Gears of War

20 years to make a ka-52 copy....!!!

This thing will be an avionics nightmare. It's a flying circuit board.

I guess since everyone is saying this is the same as a Russian helicopter because they both have coaxial rotors I guess every helicopter with a single rotor and tail rotor are all just identical helicopters too. Forget about all the tech inside and the pusher fans, it has a coaxial rotor system so it’s just a copy of an old Russian design that had nothing else similar to it.

Do the twin ducted fans work underwater. This thing looks suspiciously like a submersible.

great work, looks great, widen the backend to instal a rear trap door platform for troops to drop down out of or parachute out of the back and it will be awesome

Guess they liked the Ka-50 or Ka-52 from Russia. i won't lie, it's a cool design.

Thanks a lot! I got it and will finish it within a year or less! - Your envisaged Shenzhen friends.

When you look at bells offering this is innovative but overly complex

I thought there were only two contestants in this competition-the Bell V-280 Velor and the Sikorsky/Boeing SB-1 Defiant. This thing isn't even at the prototype stage yet.

Make a vedio about hal rudra Indian helicopter

Looks very futuristic

I think all helicopters should have a co-axial configuration. Dump the tail rotor

Wouldn't the proximity of the pusher fans to the stub wings reduce the effectiveness of both when considering the airflow and air pressure?

It's cool it's all electric but will it be able to function against electronic warfare and not just drop of the sky?

Key word: "prototype." Just like the stuff at car shows that never goes into production.

looks like a lot of moving parts (i.e. lots of broken parts that equal more maintenance and replace parts....more money)

We love to see new helicopter 🚁

Had me at no hydraulics

Gave me Kamov-52 vibe

Cool helicopter.

unmanned aircraft with 50 hell fire missiles. no need more manned aircraft anymore.

I do kind of question putting the H-stab right behind the fans, but I'm guessing someone ran the math on that...

At 2:48, the aircraft is destroying residential areas???🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

That thing is too sick for words. It's the F***ING future!

Not bad, Russia develope coaxial rotors and side by side pilots helis like 20 years ago, but you are doing great behind...

Hasn’t Russia had this type chopper forever or is this new technology?

The moment the blueprints were uploaded, the Chinese knew every single specification and the entire recipe in how to make it.

Russians already have this hardwere remember the buran shuttle?

No tail rotor,but fans,which could do the same job ?.

So they put fans on a Russian design.. innovative!

Mixed black hawk and Ka27

I always thought co-axial was "old school" seems i was wrong what an interesting machine !!!!! when can i have a r/c version .

Side by side pilots is wrong for an attack helicopter.The field of view is compromised for both pilots. How many fighter type aircraft have been developed with side by side seating? If one is incapacitated, the other is partially blinded.

Nice; But,does it fly?

Awesome! I have seen concept art of this bit didnt know there was a bulit physical prototype until now. About the competition, I know avx was applying for the gouvernment contract but didnt think they made the cut and Sikorsky sb1 was the one selected, does this mean your still in the competition? Love the co-axial concept and really amazing avionics! Cant belive all that is powered by batteries but if it is you got a real winner there, im really impressed by this helo!

wow they invented the KA-52

Should have used one roter and the those two in the end should have been for stealth and speed

Muy bonito helicópteros hojala se ofrezca Colombia

The real question is, how does this stack up against the Sikorsky Raider? Can this company really compete against an established player like Lockheed/ Sikorsky?

Looks like an Alligator with propfans. This is going to be a maintenance nightmare.

Take it

Can somebody link me why is a coaxial helicopter advantages? and if hit/shot which helicopter would have the highest chance of survival of landing the traditional rotor or the co axial rotor?.

Design for commercial transport, but first sell it to the millitary for RnD budgets

The fact weapons can be stored enhances the potential for stealth applications. Why have the ISR components atop The nose rather than below it?

Low vibration level? I think you are going to have high vibration issue, and the Reason is because you have choosen 4 blade rotors

So much stuff to go wrong... Ease of maintenance you say? I highly doubt it.

Why do companies keep putting the joystick on the “armrest” sort of area (helo companies and jet companies). Just keep it traditional and have the stick in the middle. Particularly in helicopters where control is harder.

Electronics are better than hydraulics?

So you guys have your computers for this project isolated right? Otherwise the next gen Chinese Aircraft has just been displayed

He says the chopper is all electric forgetting that Russian Alabuga EMP can incinerate all electric/electronic circuits on board in no time and render the chopper and other American flying machines obsolete!!

What we have here is a rip off of the Kamov Ka-50 because we couldn't think of a better design! Tells you something?

Future Attack Reconnaissance aircrafT. FART.

double rotary system is a copy of Russian technology

I like Sikorsky’s version better, but this is still a beautiful machine.

Waiting for this technology to become commercial

It may sound stupid. But why is this purpose needs a whole new military program?? Why not brings back the commanche program and be done with it???

Nice.

Degraded Visual Environment? Do you mean, it works well in the dark?

Why are they still using Rotors... Some dude has already deigned one around the F35B lift fan. That does away with Rotor Blades. Thus is does not need a tail boom. Forward flight is combination of lift fan and the Turbine Engine....And it's fast and quieter with the same amount of lift capacity. In a compact air frame...

Why would i send this out , when i can send drones with the same weapons and way more smaller foot print and zero danger to life ?.

People at kamov might be laughing. They mastered the coaxial rotor a long time ago.

I'd like to see the ones their not showing

Although the Russians have been at it longer (and it's a proven design), they don't have the ducted booster fans. So these guys here still deserve a little credit for adding their own spin on it.

All electric..everyone wants to know..how it will handle with an EMP directed toward it?

Clones of Kamov? Hahaha!

I hope they are not competing against Lockheed raider X attack helicopter. Side-by-side pilot capabilities is really not In issue to worry about because flight controls can be switched from pilot to pilot even if they’re sitting front and back positions. With the wings that’s probably gonna carry extra fuel and the two prop fans along with that Wide ass whale tail of a tail is going to cause unnecessary air drag that will Limit hi speed capabilities. Lockheed Raider X has a more suitable aerodynamic slipstream airframe for high-speed capabilities. No,I do not like the Raider X wide ass whale tail as well. I still believe that Boeing’s Comanche is a better platform for a dual blade system that has a way better stealth Version of a Attack helicopter concept. This is one time that I really think that Boeing should I put their hat in the game. I really think Lockheed and Boeing should really hook up on this one. Hope you’re listening Penny potluck. Sincerely, Cinderella😎

Let's hope it's designation is not 737 😉

Large disposable drones only way to go !!

Coaxial has the BEST performans! russians are good in that! but it can be proven more mainly in the rotor area all other futures is good this heli is good! the invictus from bell has perfect rotor but i think can go an step forther! we talk for tottaly cloose rotor area! yes..next step is rotor disc enclosed but all together like thespinning top performans ! to land an heli on your tip of your finger und fly without any..noise! is all about rotor! the rotor in this model the two rotors are much apart each other needs so more work! work needed allso the aerodynamics must be more thinn ! the bell has it all more better but this combine propulsion system is very good as an good third hand! very good in low und heavy landings and low altitudes manovers

W O W !

Airwolf vibes

Halo called, they want the future back! Sweet chopper!

I could make a better Heli/plane in Simple Planes.

Those small ducted propellers are good as an office fans, but unsuitable as means of aicraft's propulsion. Just compare it to Boeing-Sikorsky's SB-1 pusher propeller. This AVX Aircraft dosn't look competent to me. Is there any real AVX aircraft flying now? Nope.

It looks like airwolf

pusher props are electric?

Can you mount weapons in the wings sir????

Конкурент Ка-52

1:52 Stealth capability.

Just like a Kamov.

just another expensive money dump.

Looked promising untill I saw the pilot at 3:31

Soon rotors will be replaced with giant fan jets. With speeds of 300knts.

So if the pilot is unconscious he cannot transfer control of the aircraft to the co-pilot?

hand it up there going to be no more wars

Copying Russian K-52 coaxle system

Looks like a nightmare to work on.

It seems very EMP-vulnerable.

Very Kamov

That looks like that russian navy copter, are you guys kidding no way, there has go to be something better.

So, it doesn’t fly but looks pretty...🤔

4 rotors. 4x expensive. Range is sure affected.

S-97 Raider.
