Development
Development began following completion of the Mi-24, a unique attack helicopter with transport capability, in 1972. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft. Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1972: Events January January 5 - US President Richard Nixon The new design was inspired by Mi-24 minus the transport capability, omitted the cabin, delivering better overall performance and higher top speed, important for its intended role fighting against tanks and enemy helicopters and covering helicopter landing operations. Initially, many different designs were considered, including an unconventional project with two main rotors, placed with engines on tips of wings (in perpendicular layout), and with additional pusher propeller on the tail. An Aircraft constructed with a pusher configuration has the engine mounted forward of the Propeller - which faces in a rearwards direction - giving an appearance In 1977, a preliminary design was chosen, in a classic single-rotor layout. This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1977: Events January January 15 – A Skyline Sweden Vickers It lost its similarity to the Mi-24, and even the canopies were smaller, with flat surfaces.
In 1981, a design and a mock-up were accepted. This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1981: Events January January 3 - Pan Am makes its final The prototype (no. 012) was first flown on November 10, 1982, followed by the second prototype (no.

The Mi-28 development was continued, but given lower priority. In December 1987 Mi-28 production in Rosvertol in Rostov on Don was approved.

In January 1988 the first Mi-28A prototype flew (no. This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1988: Events January January 26 - the French defence ministry approves full-scale 032). It was fitted with stronger engines and "X" type tail rotor instead of a standard three-blade variant. This new version debuted at the Paris Air Show in June 1989.

This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1991: Events January January 16 - Eastern Air Lines is 042). The Mi-28A program was cancelled in 1993 because it was deemed uncompetitive with the Ka-50, and in particular, it was not all-weather capable. This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1993: Events The 1000th Boeing 747 comes off the production line 26 years after the In 1990 the design bureau signed an agreement to export Mi-28A parts to Iraq and for assembly as the Mi-28L, but these plans were disrupted by the Gulf War.

Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout It also has improved Tor vision and aiming device under the nose, including a TV camera and FLIR. A forward looking infrared (FLIR is an imaging device that senses infrared radiation Due to funding problems, development was interrupted. A second prototype with an improved rotor design was unveiled in March 2004 at Rosvertol. This is a list of Aviation -related events from 2004: Events January 2 - Several British Airways flights from
A changed military situation after the Cold War made specialized anti-tank helicopters, like Ka-50, less useful. Cold War is the state of conflict tension and competition that existed between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR and their respective allies from the On the other hand, its all-weather two-seater variant Ka-52 had worse performance due to increased weight. "Black Shark" redirects here For the species of fish see Kitefin shark. The advantages of the Mi-28N, like all-weather action ability, lower cost, similarity to the Mi-24, have become important. In 2003, a chief of Russian Air Forces stated that Mi-28N will become the standard Russian attack helicopter. [1]
The first serial Mi-28N was passed to the Army. [2] The aircraft will join the two pre-serial machines which are used for army trials. The aircraft entered service in 2006, along with the similar Ka-50/Ka-52. [3] Up to 10 helicopters were be purchased in 2006 [4] of total 300 to be purchased to 2015. [5]
There is an export variant, known as Mi-28NE, and a simpler day-helicopter variant, the Mi-28D, based on the Mi-28N design, but lacking radar and FLIR.
Description
The Mi-28 has two heavily armoured cockpits, a nose full with electronic equipments, and a narrow-X tail rotor.
Engines are two 2,200 hp Isotov TV-3-117VM (t/n 014) gas turbines. The X-type tail rotor (55 deg) has reduced noise characteristics.
While the Mi-28 is not intended for use as a transport, it does have a small passenger compartment capable of carrying three persons. The planned purpose of this is to enable the rescue of downed helicopter crews.
