Russia accidentally leaks image of future high-speed helicopter

.
The Kamov Design Bureau appears to have leaked the details of future high-speed helicopter it is about to develop for Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

In Russian social media were posted the images from the helicopter project defense shows of a new concept that could provide increased speed and less drag.

The concept feature a ‘delta’ fixed-wing, co-axial rotor system, a side-by-side cockpit, and pusher engines in the rear similar to what is utilized on the Sikorsky S-97 Raider and Bell V-280 Valor. The co-axial rotor system will be driven by two engines.



Also, a concept of the high-speed helicopter will eqquiped infrared (IR) heat suppressing systems and various fuselage contour constructions with internal weapons bays as a stealth technology to avoid detection.

According to a presentation, Kamov believes new technologies will provide more speed and range and better fuel efficiency. It is expected that the new helicopter will reach speeds of more than 435 mph (700 kph), nearly three times the speed of a conventional helicopter.

The project of future Russian high-speed helicopter was displayed by Sergei Mikheyev, General Designer of the Kamov Design Bureau. Sergei Mikheev is an academic, researcher and helicopter designer. He has served as General Designer of Kamov Design Bureau since 1987.

Looks like a hybrid of an aeroplane and a helicopter, I still wonder though, how is it going to counter the torque?

its tandem fan design
there are two different fans rotating in different direction i.e one in clockwise other in anti clockwise
 
. . .
Is it really accidental or could it be a deliberate leak for some strange unknown reason?

Not a fan. Looks too small.
And how do you thinks this is small, this is just a presentation, we currently don't know its specifications @undertakerwwefan

hmm where would u use this? helicopter naval carriers?
No land based @Foxtrot Delta :disagree:

CHINA Jueying revealed years ago.

The kamov design looks like it has combined elements of the 1973 Sikorsky S-72 above and the Sikorsky S-69 from around the same time.

Sikorsky eventually solved the technical challenges of combining a fast compound helicopter with stiff coaxial rotors, mainly vibration and fuel consumption, to produce the S-97 Raider.

On paper only,Russia has lost its financial ressources not talents but financial ressources to create new staffs,all hardwars Russia has are the legacy of Soviet Union empire,nothing more nothing less,but I do admit that even today,some of the legacy of Soviet Union empire are still deserved to be respected and appreciated!!
