[@timmayer8723]

Interesting that the Russians steadily moved forward with the improvement of the turbo prop engine and we Americans moved ahead with the pure turbo jet engines we have today. Another Russia exclusive on their monster size aircraft is the use of multiple air dams on the upper surface of the main wing structure. Being an A&E mechanic I understand the theory behind the air dams and it seems to work well enough that many of their aircraft have the dams in place. Very few American aircraft are designed with air dams on the main wing structures. I think the intercontinental Russian nuclear bombers could develop 15,000 shp per engine and at a lesser fuel cost than our pure turbo jet engines as in the B-52. Missiles designed by both countries have made the Russian and American globe trotting airplanes obsolete.

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Do "pure turbojet engines" include turbofans? In general Russian wing fences covered aerodynamic inadequacies, IIRC.

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

The concept of the long range bomber isn't really obsolete. Missiles are great for two cases: precision strikes or all out nuclear war. However everything in between is not their strong point. Their use becomes even less sensible when air space in uncontested, making it more economical to just drop much cheaper bombs from a reasonable height. Not to mention that for example the Tu-160, Tu-22M and Tu-95 are designed to operate as cruise missile carriers as well, increasing their effective range and reducing time to react. Which is especially effective for the Tu-160 which is not only long range, but also super sonic. Having essentially a super sonic guided missile destroyer flying around has its benefits.

[@eugeneoreilly9356]

They were aerodynamic improvements just like the upturned wingtips on modern Boeing's and do the same job of preventing the upper wing boundary layer mixing with the underwing layer which negates trailing vortices being formed as these produce noticeable drag.They were used on the MIG 15 and subsequent types.

@Waxel Punkt. NK-12 - turboprop aircraft engine developed in the SNTK Kuznetsova (OKB-276) in the 1950s. It was installed on the Tu-95 strategic bomber and its various modifications (Tu-142 and passenger Tu-114), as well as on the An-22 and on the a-90 "Eaglet". Each engine drives two four-bladed propellers with a diameter of about 6 meters, rotating in opposite directions. NK-12 is the most powerful serial turboprop engine in the world[3]. Aircraft with engines NK-12 to this day remain one of the fastest screw aircraft, and transport An-22 "Antey" with engines NK-12MA was at the time of creation of the largest aircraft in the world. Serial production - since 1954. The initial capacity was 14800 HP, the capacity of the modernized NK-16 - 16000 HP. P.S. Keep jerking off. You don't need faloimmitator

Very interesting: The two props per engine may run at different rpm; so there is not a fixed gear between the engine and its two prop shafts. Can easily be seen due to the strobe effect of the camera shutter.

[@Donderpad]

I think they have constant-mesh gearing but not in a 1/1 ratio.Possibly to phase out vibrations,or as an answer for difference in windspeed on the two sets of blades-the first creates draft for the second, as at the second prop the wind is also propelled by the primary fan.

[@keithbrescia9893]

I have seen a video taken in flight in which the props appeared well synchronized. The engine drives the pair of props through a differential gearset that splits the torque equally. My educated guess is that they fine tune it the best they can by adjusting the blade pitch.

@@keithbrescia9893, for sure somehow you can synchronize the the props once you are cruising. You do it on aircraft with multiple engines single props.

Each of the 4 turboprop jet engines can operate at whatever throttle setting you wish. Each prop on each engine spins at the same rpm. There is indeed a "fixed gear" that keeps the pairs of contra-rotating props spinning at the same rpm, in opposite directions though.

[@红杏出墙-c7g]

The speed and direction of the air cut by the two counter-rotating propellers are different. So to offset the reverse torque brought by the rotation of the two propellers, the rotational speeds of the two propellers are different. That's my guess.

From Vikipedia: The design that eventually became the NK-12 turboprop was developed after World War II by a team of Russian scientists and deported German engineers under Ferdinand Brandner, who had worked for Junkers previously; the design bureau was headed by chief engineer Nikolai D. Kuznetsov. Thus, the NK-12 design evolved from late-war German turboprop studies. This started with the postwar development of the wartime Jumo 022 turboprop design that developed 6000 eshp in a 3000 kg (6,600 lb) engine. The effort continued with a 5000 ehp engine that weighed in at 1700 kg (3,740 lb), completed by 1947. The evolution to the TV-12 12000 Ehp engine required extensive use of new Soviet-developed alloys and was completed in 1951.[1] The NK-12M developed 8,948 kW (12,000 ehp), uprated in the NK-12MV to 11,033 kW (14,795 ehp) and reaching 11,185 kW (15,000 ehp) in the NK-12MA. The NK-12 remains the most powerful turboprop engine to enter service although the Progress D-27 and Europrop TP400 have come close to this (in 1982 and 2005 respectively). Another engine of similar size, the Pratt & Whitney T57 with 15,000 shp and 5,000 lb jet thrust, ran 3,100 hours before being cancelled in 1957.[2][3] The NK-12 powered the Tupolev Tu-95 bomber and its derivatives such as the Tu-142 maritime patrol aircraft and the Tupolev Tu-114 airliner (with NK-12MV), which still holds the title of the world's fastest propeller-driven aircraft despite being retired from service in 1991. It also powered the Antonov An-22 Antei (with NK-12MA), the world's largest aircraft at the time, and several types of amphibious assault craft, such as the A-90 Orlyonok "Ekranoplan".

Yes, diameter of fuselage is this same due to the fact, that production frames were that same as used for production of plagiated B-29 named Tu-4.

The CC-130 Hercules and CP-140 Aurora had synchrophasing on the propellers, and that cut down on vibration somewhat. But that doesn’t seem to be an option on the TU-95. Fighter pilots said they could feel the vibration from the Bear’s props, while flying beside them when doing an intercept.

Wow. Excellent. Thank You P.S. 7/‘2023: SAC would never have worked out with these planes. To start with, by the time the flight crew had made from the ground to the plane, the war would have been over. Then the start up procedure before they could even get off the ground. I wonder how many hours that humans could stand flying in one of those, with the noise and vibrations before they would have Shot Themselves! Truly a beautiful and remarkable aircraft. It’s sad and worrisome that the U.S. doesn’t have SAC today…

[@redastrachan8978]

Beautiful camera work! Can some explain (In layman's terms), the illusion of the static/slowing prop blades at higher rotation rates?

[@chuckyLarmed]

Sorry you’ve waited a year for a reply, but it’s because of the prop RPM syncing up with some fraction or multiple of the framerate of the camera. If the propeller has spun 361 degrees around each time that the camera captures a new frame, then the propeller only appears to be rotating at one degree per frame. Since the prop looks visually the same at different points in its rotation (half turn, quarter turn, 3/4 turn) there are many different RPMs where this effect will happen, and the propeller will appear to slow to standstill and then reverse direction as it approaches, meets and exceeds any of those points.

[@matthewredman7814]

It's so loud because the ends of the propellers are travelling faster than the speed of sound.

[@leneanderthalien]

False, the blade trips are never supersonic, the specific noise comes from the air shearing between the props

[@ItsZoticc]

analyste no, it is true that the contrarotating props do cause loud noise, but the ends of the 18’ props are going slightly faster than the speed of sound

I have always admired the engineering in the TU-95 aircraft design against the B52 over the years of modifications. The TU-95 demands respect in the role it plays. I bet it is more fuel efficient than the B-52.

[@СергейПетров-я8й5л]

You are right, it is the most economic bomber rocket carrier in the world...)) Tu-95, has arms of 20,8 tons, fuel of 80 tons, flying range, with the maximum weight of arms of 15000 kilometers, without refueling... B-52, the maximum weight of arms of 20,6-22,5 tons, the maximum flying range of 16000-16700 kilometers has, but he needs 181,7 tons of fuel...)) at the same time, the cumulative power of engines and speed of flight, at both planes, are very similar...)) B-52, at almost identical characteristics, spends more for 100 tons of fuel...))

[@leneanderthalien]

thats false: max speed from the Tu95: 925km/h, max service ceiling 13700m; B52, max speed 1024km/h (the first models fly only 960km/h), max service ceiling 15000m , but "maximum usage performances" is not the real use from this planes: in real the Tu95 fly between 740 and 850km/h cruise (economy cruise to fast cruise), and 844km/h to 950km/h for the B52, altitudes twice fly around 11000m...but at fast cruise burn the b52 40% more fuel as the Tu95...

[@TheSirjohn2012]

The B-52 can top out at 60,000 feet and how many miles is that if you can do the math?11.36 miles is the answer.

[@charleswolfe8151]

Only when it flies at low speed. US & allies abandoned counter rotating props because of high maintenance & engine failure. Russia made it work. Tu-95 can't match speed or bomb load of B-52. It is easier to catch up to in a fighter. Russia's jet bombers are fuel guzzlers & can't match it for range.
