The first rumors about the work on a promising attack helicopters belong to the middle of the two thousandth's, but then, obviously, it did not go beyond talk. A bit more information has appeared in 2008 year, when the commander in chief of the Air Forces of Russia A. Zelin told about the early development of a new helicopter, which will have the best characteristics in comparison with existing.

Notably, as in 2008, officials have limited only to the most common phrases and wording. New data on the progress of the project came in six and a half years after the commander of the military aviation applications. In the middle 2010 , the company's "Miles" general designer talked about, that research and development work on the new project will begin in about god.Krome order, at 2010 it became known to participate in the program, both leading Russian helicopter companies – design "Kamov" Office and "Miles". According to reports, in the first half of the year were carried out a purge of several models of helicopters at the Central Institute Aerohydrodynamic, differing from each other fuselage, configuration and construction of the wing rotor. We assess the prospects and opportunities of the classic screw, and coaxial. The results of those studies in the public domain were not mentioned, but it was announced, that the final choice of layout and general appearance will be made at the beginning of 2011 of the year, and until that time, both design organizations will work together.

Based on the available data, it is difficult to talk about the timing of completion of the project or the exact characteristics of the new helicopter. probably, new rotorcraft will be a pretty redeveloped existing equipment. There are objective reasons. For example, inability to create a low-profile for radar stations of the helicopter due to its main feature – rotor. Constantly rotating blades, which are also in principle it can not be excluded from the design, destroy in the bud all efforts to reduce the visibility. For this reason, reduction in detection probability can be achieved only in the infrared range, with the help of special devices, cooling the exhaust turboshaft engines.
As for long-term weapons attack helicopter, it is also unlikely to undergo major changes. As with previous cars, new will have to carry a mobile unit with an automatic gun and a certain range of guided and unguided weapons. maybe, of the weapons will include a new advanced helicopter antitank missile system "Hermes-A" or having a similar purpose systems. By itself, It remains the possibility of using unguided munitions. To ensure full operation sighting and navigation complex perspective helicopter should be equipped with its own radar and optical-radar stations. By itself, currently no information on the exact composition of the new helicopter equipment.

Generally, helicopter development program of the "fifth generation" currently represents one of the biggest mysteries of our time.
It is interesting to add that the analysis and conclusions, made by the authors of the editorial board of the portal super-orujie.ru. A model called the Ka-58 is one of the conceptual development of the project of creation of the Russian shock “StelS”. German model magazine “model Fan” He writes, that according to information from “well-informed sources” on “Kamov” company exists layout of this helicopter.
It is worth noting, that the appearance model of the Ka-58 resembles a hybrid of the Ka-52 and “Comanche”. Strongly flattened fuselage faceted shape, formed flat panels. Almost no surface under 90 degrees to the axis of the fuselage. Even lantern double crew cabin (row arrangement, in Ca-52) tetrahedral shape, consisting of flat bronestekol.
The shape of the fuselage is fully consistent with the concepts of unobtrusive technology. It also serves as a V-shaped tail. by the way, between surfaces tail engine exhaust slit is, to reduce the IR signature of helicopter. probably, the exhaust gases are mixed even with the cold air.
Virtually identical exhaust device and arranged on “Comanche”. Placing the two engines as much resembles “Comanche”. helicopter landing gear fully retractable, basic rack it located at the front and removed on the cockpit sides, serving in the retracted position additional protection to the crew. In the inferior part mounted turning gun dvuhstvolny, closed fairing.
Part of the impact of arms placed on the inside of the suspension, and another part of the six external suspension pylons under the wings. Carrying system, traditional for the Kamov design bureau, with two coaxial propellers. The blades have a swept tip. The chord of the blades slightly increased compared to KA-50/52. Traction swash also increased in diameter, and the hub fairings are closed.
The armament of the "Black Ghost", Again according to the layout, It may consist of eight guided anti-tank missiles, forty unmanaged aviaraket and onboard gun with ammunition, five hundred shells. With such weapons on board the characteristics of the "Black Ghost" are at the level of fantasy, the helicopter is able to overtake and destroy the enemy on the plain, goristoy in areas of Flagship.
Protection of the Ka-58 is also made from the shells at the advanced level. Armor successfully reflects the caliber armor-piercing bullet 12,7 mm and shrapnel shells 23 mm. In an emergency, triggered safe pilot ejection system, and to protect against air defense systems on the helicopter are flares – decoys. They are produced and withdrawn from missile combat vehicle, taking fire themselves.
