BO-105 Helicopter Aerobatics - 0 views

  •  
    The Bo 105 is a light twin engine multi purpose utility helicopter built by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) of Stuttgart, Germany. As the first light twin-engine helicopter in commercial service, it gained widespread use over rural areas (police and EMS / medevac) as well as offshore. The four-blade hingeless main rotor with composite blades ensures high maneuverability. All main systems (hydraulics, electric, fuel, lubrication) were designed to be fully redundant. "

Helicopter Drop - Bryce Hixson - TeachersPayTeachers.com - 0 views

  •  
    "Helicopter Drop by Bryce Hixson Take a single strip of copy paper and make three cuts and five folds to create a ready-to-fly helicopter. You can experiment with surface area and friction, and have a lot of fun adapting the design. Great way to teach the effect of gravity and friction on a falling object, experiment with torque and changing forces, and open the door to imagination and engineering."

UK sends hand-held helicopter drones to war zone (Update) - 0 views

  •  
    "newly issued Black Hornet miniature surveillance helicopter during an operation in Afghanistan. The Scandinavian-designed Black Hornet Nano weighs as little as 16 grams (0.56 ounces)-the same as a finch. The four-inch-long (10-centimeter-long) helicopter is fitted with a tiny camera which relays still images and video to a remote terminal. Troops used the drone to look for insurgent firing points and check out exposed areas of the ground before crossing."

AeroVelo, University Of Toronto Team, Win Human Powered Helicopter Flight Competition - 0 views

  •  
    "human power, delivered to the craft's four rotors through the bicycle pedals he steadily pumps throughout his flight. It's that fragile machine, built by Reichert's Canadian team, which has now won a long-coveted international prize that lay unclaimed for years. The AHS Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition was established in 1980 for the first successful controlled flight of a human powered helicopter that could reach a height of three metres while hovering for at least one minute in a 10-square-meter area."

AOPA Hover Power » Blog Archive » Coaxial rotors - 0 views

  •  
    "coaxial rotors, uses a pair of helicopter rotors mounted one above the other to produce both lift and thrust. Sikorsky's high speed technology demonstrator the X2 uses this design as well as many Russian helicopters. To neutralize the torque, the rotors spin in opposite directions creating equal and opposite torques that cancel each other and eliminate the need for a tail rotor. Yaw control is achieved by increasing the collective pitch of one rotor and decreasing the collective pitch on the other. "

    Here is seventeen minutes of remarkable video on research into autonomous robotic helicopters. It is extremely fascinating but a little "deep" in some portions. There seems to be no limit for learning and application.

Freeman Airfield 1945.wmv - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    Nazi Jets. Nazi Helicopters. Italian fighters. Flying JU-88's. Fascinating footage of captured weapons and Axis aircraft at a 1945 air show at Freeman Field in Seymour, Indiana. This footage is four months after the German surrender, and just one month after the Japanese surrender! Great Tommy Dorsey music will definitely get you in that WW II (patriotic) "Mood" to remember! Nearly a 70 year look back at a Victory celebration, the end of the war...

Amazing Video: 'Jet Man' stunts alongside fighter jets over Alps - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    "Amazing pictures from Switzerland show where "jetman" Yves Rossy gave this incredible flying display, using a tailor-made jet pack. The aviation enthusiast leapt from a helicopter and performed a series of aerial acrobatics above the Alps. He then joined two jet planes in a synchronized flight. To synchronise their flight paths the jets reduced their speed to 220 kilometres per hour (137 miles per hour), which put their engines at a point close to stalling. Rossy's previous aerial feats include flying the English Channel and looping the loop around a hot-air balloon."

AOPA Online: Could FanWing go from LSA to heavy lifter? - 1 views

  •  
    The FanWing looks like someone has put the blades of a combine harvester behind a helicopter cockpit and forgotten about the rest of the fuselage. That combine harvester, the FanWing propulsion system, is a fan in a wing, making it a thick wing that provides lift and thrust.

Top 120 American Inventions - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    "In honor of National Inventor's month (August), I've compiled a list of 120 significant American inventions. I've only included inventors who were born in the United States, not inventors who were born elsewhere yet whose inventions were created and/or patented in the U.S. Excluded inventions due to this rule include things such as the telephone, helicopter, basketball, video game console, blue jeans as well as the numerous inventions of Nikola Tesla. The only exception to this rule are co-inventors who share their invention with American-born inventors (such as federico faggin who co-invented the microprocessor)."
