Description

This one is actually old like 3 years or maybe 2 since afaik i work on it at late 2017. Well life has been shaky around me at that time But anyway. let's get some helicopter.


Modeling-Texturing is done in Blender 3D.  Post processing including the making of this presentation is done in photoshop.


Marishka is a deriviation from the Kamov Ka-60 "Kasatka" Helicopter. The refinement involves stronger engine and structures to allows it to handle heavier load without compromising speed performance.  This 15.1 m in length and 15.1 m diameter in rotor Helicopter now serves as our main light-medium assault transport helicopter.


The main change from Kasatka design includes wing for armament carriage. The wing is equipped with single strengthened hardpoint which may allows multiple types of weapons to be carried.  Rockets, fuel tank, anti tank missiles and even our large anti ship missiles.  The helicopter also includes dedicated gunner station, which as depicted, equipped with 7.62mm rotary barrel gun.


In terms of sensor, Marishka is equipped with combined mast mounted Electro-optical and radar sensor. Unusual placement but provide the "best" place for engaging target.  Future variant however may includes conventional ventrally mounted "balls" to allow better view of the ground during landing. Other sensors includes IR-UV MAWS (Missile Approach Warning System) to detect launches of Manpads and RHAWS  to detect radar threat. However Marishka's most innovative sensor includes dedicated mm wave radar to detect and later allows engagement of incoming missiles with suitable (not depicted yet) Active protection system.


Considering its roles. Stealth is a design requirement. Marishka comes equipped with built in IR suppression nozzles, this nozzles direct exhaust gas upward where it will mix more with rotor's airflow. Additionally the exhaust gases are also pre-mixed with bleed air from engine intake to further lower down its temperature. Acoustic emission reduction is reached with shaping the rotor blade and use of fenestron/fantail rotor. Radar threat however is expected to be minimal in low altitude flight profile.

I wanted to try using a proper texture, but I can't unwrap anything properly...
