Mi-28UB - combat training modification of the attack helicopter Mi-28N “Night Hunter”, designed for training the flight crew of Mi-28N helicopters. In this case, the helicopter is able to solve a full range of combat missions.
Mi-28UB helicopter equipped with a second set of control system in the front cockpit, where the instructor is placed in the training application, and in combat - a pilot-operator. To ensure the necessary ergonomic parameters of crew workplaces, the design of the helicopter fuselage was changed: extended front cab, increased glazing area and improved visibility of the pilot-operator (instructors) from the front cabin. Another innovation – energy absorbing chairs, hard pilots.
