Birth of Bell Helicopter

[@rlh421]

I am so proud to have given Bell almost 25 tears of my career.

[@jkocol]

I always get a tear in my eye when I see these stories about helicopters because I cannot separate the device from all the lives it has saved in rescue operations.

[@da959]

Ya gotta love how a simple "back yard inventer" has the ability to change history. I have a feeling that the greatest inventions were discovered this way. These old film clips are just priceless!

[@KraussEMUS1]

I agree with you. I read somewhere that it is not backyard inventors, but I have been reading patents for years, long before they were on the internet. I am sure it is regular people that have made most of histories best inventions.

[@tonywright8294]

Hardly a back yard inventor !

[@Seattle_streets]

Reminds me of Steve jobs

[@chippyjohn1]

@@KraussEMUS1 All people are regular. A university in the US known as MIT carried out a study in which its best student placed about 200th in a test. The 200 people that beat the top student did not even attend a university. As Einstein said, Imagination is far more important than a bought education.

5:27 A stadium full of spectators! What a great time for the helicopter team and spectators. It must have left a great impression on many. Especially the young who became inspired to pursue their own dreams.

[@evreet2000]

I was fortunate enough to be involved when NASM shipped the Model 30 back to Bell for restoration several years ago. To see the origin of the company, and the ingenuity of Arthur Young was an experience I will always cherish.

[@theussmirage]

Given how many Bell rescue, fire, and police helicopters there are today, Arthur Young's backyard invention has gone on to save countless lives, what a great history lesson!

[@awclark3]

Thanks to one these chopper, my uncle Len , marine injured in a trap in Vietnam. He was one of a few that lived. Unlike Kerry, when he healed went back to combat. He went on to have a 3 children scores of grandchildren. Thank for such a live saving invention!

[@daveblevins3322]

Right. Thing is; Kerry never saw combat. Read the book by his fellow "Fast Boat" crew and higher ups called: "Unfit for Command".

[@keithharley9729]

I had the good fortune to learn to fly the Bell G2A and go on to fly the G4A and the J2. I got almost 900 hours and loved every minute. My career spanned 35 years with some 14,000 hours.. Yes I miss flying!

[@CharlesHuse]

If I were to be able to obtain a helicopter pilots license and purchase my own helicopter, there are 5 that would be at the top of the list, and 4 are Bells.... the Bell 47, the UH-1A, the AH-1A.....all classics. The 4th on the list? the Bell 222. #5 is Blue Thunder (a cosmetically modified Aerospatiale Gazelle)

[@johnnieguitar5724]

Impressive! Really good explanation about the rotor blade development. I had no idea what was happening with the rotor during flight maneuvers, and now I do! Thanks for posting!

[@Bigsky1991]

Believe me...from that little film, you learned precious little about Rotor blades or how they work...

[@e-rj8984]

Thanks for a fantastic history lesson!

[@Jiilaker]

Its so grateful this was recorded

[@Doggeslife]

The third landing at 4:14 that crashed.....Slo-mo shows he landed hard enough to flex the rotor blades down which allowed them to strike the tail rotor and tail boom. The narrator says only part of the landing was captured, but the first strike is visible in the footage.

[@HongyaMa]

Tail wheel forced the tail up as the pilot flared hard = tail strike Crash was on the film end leader holes and all ...

[@kramlatte5673]

Thank you for the lesson and history

Germany had twin rotors to counter torque effect looked like a horror story double trouble bell looks more sophisticated it was seminal reading iconic helos around today

[@KraussEMUS1]

If you would like to see my "Self Contained Ion Powered Aircraft" invention. You can click on the purple icon. It is similar to a helicopter except it has no moving parts. This is the only one that can carry its power supply using just ions. The steering system is being worked on.

I concur

[@armasarspacemission.8018]

How Americans are brave people! Look, experimental samples, helicopters have not yet been finalized, these are the first models and they are in the middle of the stadium, if something goes wrong, many people will GO. But people do not think about it, they look to the future ...... Glory to America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelesposito2629]

Lol. What? The first mass produced helicopter ever made, is still wildly used today? That’s insane

[@sammyspaniel6054]

Fast forward to the Bell Nexus electric air taxi coming soon to a town near you.

Good history, thanks.

i thought sikorsky designed the first helicopter.

First BELL helicopter. Bell was an established fixed wing aircraft company. Bell X1 and A-39 fighter being the most famous. Edit: oops, P-39

[@tommallon4052]

The vibration at 20Kts is nomal. All of the semi-ridgid rotor Hueys also do this.

[@nyph933]

Hueys didn't vibrate alot. infact they were one of the most stablized aircraft, that's why they were weaponized with missiles + machine guns.

[@Slaktrax]

The ''vibration'' at around 18kts is normal for ALL helicopters. Look up ''inflow roll'' and translational lift.

[@Slaktrax]

​@@nyph933 Yes. The Bell 2-bladed ''semi-rigid'' system was very stable in the hover and was quite comfortable up to around 80kts, above that it gave you back trouble over time).

[@nyph933]

@@Slaktrax Mm yes, but it's the same with every aircraft, too much pressure and things will go out of the ordinary. Tho 80 is a large speed, especially for side mounted weaponry.

[@clavo3352]

I did the same thing with water travel and couldn't get arrested! Got a patent and prototype. Nada.

[@Orbit_Corona]

An electric helicopter could capture energy from the downward thrust, with enclosed turbine generators placed vertically around the body. If they were good turbines they would spool up pretty good with all the wind pushing downwards and they would generate a lot of electricity for the main motor. It would probably have great range.

[@mikakorhonen5715]

Back to school kid. :)

[@johnborton4522]

No. Study your basic physics: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

[@Orbit_Corona]

@@johnborton4522 Ok I was just throwing the idea out there I'm no expert.

[@Vijimn1]

You can also place electric generator at front wheel of a cycle and electric motor at back wheel.. connect them just push the cycle to start currant flow .. Tan ta daaa ... You got free, never ending energy.

Seems like bell had a more sophisticated single rotor design with tail rotor to overcome torque problem Germans were using twin rotors it looked awkward and was

[@Slaktrax]

@@ericloeschmann3258 No. The Bell system was the simplest. Sikorsky was using a three blade fully articulated system with an ant-torque tail rotor and the Germans were using two counter-rotating rotors, both of which were more complicated and sophisticated.
