Aerosucre Plane Takes Off Too Late

Aerosucre has got the best pilots in the business. I'm not even joking. Their reliance on ground effect and hand flying probably gives them a crap ton more experience handling the airframe than autopilot pushers. Is it still dangerous? Yes. Yes it is.

[@TexJester-no8th]

I'm a long haul truck driver; 40 years under my belt. One of my favorite places was a little truck stop just west of Abilene, Texas, in a town called Tye. Just south of Tye is Dyess AFB, one of the two homes of the B-1. The parking lot is in line with one of the runways. When they're doing flying ops, you're treated to these taking off or landing every little while. While this is normally cool, when it's at night and you're trying to sleep, it truly SUCKS!! 🤣 I got better sleep on an aircraft carrier!

I'm beginning to think Aerosucre is on the payroll :D

[@billhurt3644]

The Kaman’s rotors aren’t configured that was primarily for stability. Did you notice it doesn’t have a tail rotor? The intermeshing rotors enable it to have contra rotating propellers in an airframe much smaller and lighter than something like a CH-46, and thus eliminate the need for a tail rotor, which would expend engine power counter acting main rotor torque instead of lifting weight, which is what the designers wanted all possible power to be used for. But, that’s only one of the super interesting things about the K-Max. It also does not have a normal flight control hydraulic system like most helicopters. Did see the flaps at the end of the rotor blades that look kind of like ailerons? They function much like ailerons and provide the pitch control for the main rotor blades instead of a more traditional swash plate with lifting links at the blade roots. Using the blade root to control blade pitch like a normal helicopter required a LOT of force, so they use powered hydraulic servos to augment the pilots strength when inputting force on the cyclic or collective sticks (and the tail rotor too). But the increased leverage of the Kamans flaps at the ends of the rotor blades means non of that is needed, and so none of those systems are needed and none of the weight. It’s ingenious.

[@t-bonejones3576]

This guy flies over my house on a regular basis and it is, by far, the noisiest aircraft around here! Has the wildlife diving for cover long before he is visible. Can hear him for many miles in every direction. Rotors like that produce huge conflicting mechanical forces. One rotor gets slightly imbalanced and that 'copter will completely disintegrate! No auto-rotating out of it, either.

[@MrSchwabentier]

so just like any helicopter with two rotors.

[@t-bonejones3576]

@MrSchwabentier Yeah, you're correct. Except the ones that don't overlap

[@MrSchwabentier]

@@t-bonejones3576 it's the same for those as well. Imbalance will make them disintegrate as well. Actually that will even happen on a Helicopter with one Rotor. Imbalance will cause massive vibrations that are enough to destroy the whole thing. So this one is not different to any other helicopter

[@MeppyMan]

Weird. I’ve heard they are quieter than other large helicopters that can lift similar loads. They look fun to fly. And of course they can autorotate. A tailrotor is probably more likely to fail than that system. And the balance comment. Where are you getting this nonsense? lol.

What an excellent👌🏼 compilation this one!

And of-course those parked vehicles with blaring alarms felt like when confused street dogs see an elephant for the first time and start barking.😄

[@ChefDuane]

Nice to see good judgement on the go around tho. Extending it too long could be disastrous waiting for it to spool up. "Get there-tis" has caused many a runway incursion. Especially at SBH.. put it down asap but if you miss it, go around now!

[@daemn42]

The intermeshing blades on the K-maxx are really the least interesting thing about it. The really wacky thing is that it has no direct output swashplate to rotate the blades at the root like virtually all other helos. The rotors are fixed solidly to the hub (other than lead/lag hinge). The control system uses thin linkages that run out through the blades to control servo tabs (like small ailerons on an airplane wing) which when moved, cause the flexible wooden rotor blade itself to twist. All cyclic (left/right/fore/aft) and collective (up/down) inputs involve twisting the blades repeatedly throughout each rotation. Rudder/Yaw inputs use a combination of differential cyclic (one rotor "tilts" forward using the twisting blades, the other back) and differential collective (one rotor increases lift, the other decreases it) causing a net torque imbalance (same trick a quadcopter uses to yaw). There's a fancy mechanical mixer which combines all these inputs from the pilot into the appropriate outputs with no power assist. It is not very fast but is very quiet, lifts *a lot* and with the unique shape of the fuselage the pilot can see straight down to their load, on both sides of the cockpit.

Bogota's runways are both 3800m long. If the plane started at the top end of the runway it must be extremely overloaded. Although I expect it started partway down the runway. Most of their aircraft are 737 Classics which (according to Wikipedia) would need anywhere between 2300 and 2700 (Roughly) at MTOW model dependent.
