With same engine power, coaxial rotor always produces high power because all the power is used as lifting force. While on normal chopper, about 15% power is used to keep chopper stabilized because of the spinning (Somebody please mention technical name) force generated because of the rotation...

Corrected. Thanks ........................................

Dhruv is almost on the threshold of light and medium weight category chopper.

LUSH has a payload of more than 1 ton. Data above are incorrect.

If we use double rotors , our existing choppers can carry load to even higher altitude.

We should make Choppers like Russians do. Double counter rotating rotors to carry higher Payload.

It has some 1.3 ton of payload and you have to manage all from this only. You can do whatever you want out of this payload. Human carrying capability shall reduce if payload is high.

I want same to be happened with small passenger planes as well. It is going to boom and we don't have our own.

Why do you want it to be modified. it seems all right and there shall not be any major change.

yes, obviously but weight carrying figures are quoted at sea level. ALH dhruv carries just 400 KG in siachin.

That is fine but Empty weight is going to reduce few hundred KG and count the pilot weight 70 KG and not 100. MTOW is counted after all concessions so no need to further reduce 100 kg for margin.

I do not think so. It should carry about 1300 Kg. It is a 3 ton class chopper i believe. So it should carry atleast 1200 to 1300 KG as per my guess.

This chopper just took its first flight and has done 200 KMPH by now. It is doing well.

Right now no combat chopper is planned.

With KA 226, new technology will come in.

Very nice. it flies very fast at low altitude.

Russian choppers like KA 52 alligator use this sort of technique and that is why they lifts a great weight compared to comparable chopper of US and Europe.

It does not have the tail rotor but has tow rotors one above other rotating in opposite direction to manage (Nullify)the force in a particular direction generated out of rotation.. This will save about 15% of energy used in tail rotor and we may better utilize the energy for lifting the chopper...

None in the world. Very few cn reach their empty.

CO axial rotors are very important and they save 15% power of tail rotor which may be used in lifting.
