Combat helicopter Ka-50 Black Shark Russian law

Combat helicopter Ka-50 Black Shark developed by Kamov Helicopters JSC. Its NATO code name is a law, and the law B is a two-seat version or Ka-52.

Ka-50 is also known as Werewolf. This high-performance helicopter that has the ability
combat day and night, high survivability and fire power to defeat air targets and tanks were armed heavily armored anti-air. Ka-50 entered service in the Russian Army since 1995, and is produced in Sazykin Aviation Company based in Arseniev maritime region, Russia.

The first request for an eight Army helicopters Ka-50 have been met. In 2005, 12 Ka-52 also had to be bought by the Russian Air Force special operations for the benefit, but the funds have cut their purchases. In late 2008, the Russian Air Force already operates 15 helicopters Ka-50 and Ka-10 helicopters 52. 

Night fighter version of the Ka-50N, Samshit-50T is equipped with a thermal imager, day TV and laser rangefinder, and Kanov also have collaborated with Israel Aviation Industry (IAI) to create a version of the Ka-50-2 Erdogan that is compatible with NATO weapons and cockpit made by Israel. Design Ka-50 Combat Helicopter
Coaxial rotor design provides the ability to fly at a height of 4,000 m and rises vertically as high as 10 m / sec at 2,500 m altitude. Propellers are made of a polymer material. Coaxial rotor configuration results in moments of inertia relative value between the vertical and lateral axes are 1.5 to 2 times smaller than the value of a single berotor helicopter with tail rotor. The absence of a tail rotor on the Ka-50 allows helikoter to do a flat spin at full speed. Maximum vertical g-load of 3.5 combined with a low moment of inertia give the Ka-50 a high level of agility.

Additional layer of steel that can be installed in the cockpit protects the pilot from 12.7 mm guns and 23 mm projectiles. Vane design can withstand multiple automatic weapons fire from the ground.

 Ka-50 is the first operational helicopter in the world equipped with ejection seat systems (ejection) rescue, which allows the pilot to escape at all altitudes and speeds. Ejeksinya system called K-37-800, manufactured by the Zvezda Research and a joint company in Moscow.
