Experimental Helicopter Test

Jacksonville, Florida. 1996.

[@paulodasilvaandre7808]

Congratulations on successfully testing professional piloting 🙏💯🙏👍

[@andersonbicalhodesouza3588]

Funcionou bonito bem, o senhor sabe bem o manejo, 🇧🇷👍 parabéns..

[@edwardhellwig4501]

Does anyone remeber: an owner of a big successful machine shop(?) out in California made a dual rotor helicopter that he said anyone could learn ro fly in less than an hour. he referred to it as a commuter helicopter for traveling the airways between cars & airplanes. it was featured on Discovery TV probably over 5 years ago?

[@AnandHelicsKalyani]

Is it fixed pitch totor blades?? you are controling the plane of rotation for balancing??

[@janeaxtell2793]

That was great Kate!!

[@kenmey6803]

Where did you get your coaxial gear box from?? I need a few of those making my own is taking up way to much time when i'lm not sick in bed. Anyway help will be great. May the Gods bless us all some more then others.

[@cloudusterable]

This contra rotating configuration is for a reason you won't get any simpler than this, the gearbox inbetween the rotors is a reversing unit for the lower rotor only, the top rotor is direct from the drive.

[@airgunningyup]

incredible , and my dream for the future

[@abhisheksoni9841]

its great chopper you made

[@4406bbldb]

i wonder if there is a one man chopper that works best in strong wind?

[@kenmey6803]

What you have super cool. Thanks for the video .

[@MichaelOfRohan]

Dad statement of the year: "yeah, well?.."

[@ricklittle337]

That is absolutely fantastic. Can you tell me who to contact to purchase one or get the plans........I gotta have one!!!!!

[@duanewhite3184]

That's some real Mad Max type s*** right there that is look out for the dam cows

[@j69chevelle]

I bet that thing had awesome yaw authority. No LTE problems with that thing.

[@autosocorronetoneto1685]

Muito bom. Teria o projeto pra venda?

[@pietervaness3229]

This, is a great little machine , notably roter is a very attractive idea , however , no cyclic ? Collective ? I would like to know more ( I am a commercial pilot, aircraft ,multi - engine , complicated single engine , acrobatic endorsed )

[@tomthompson7400]

amazing , got to love it , but those blades look close at times

[@SupesMe]

Cool, I wonder if it still Flies?

[@Eakka080]

I love it..I want to know if there’s a foot pedal.. if there is, then can you make a video on what’s its function in coaxial helicopter.. or just show pressing it and which part moves or explain what happens..

[@Veldtian1]

The foot pedals control hard left and right turns via the rudders at the rear of the rotor wash and also the left and right tilt of the rotor head 'swash plate' equivalent device just underneath the rotors.

[@cloudusterable]

Surley there is no "swash plate " as we know it Jim, the whole rotor system tilts sideways or forward and back, there are no pitch changing.

[@Veldtian1]

@@cloudusterable You're right, I said "equivalent device".

[@gateway8833]

I wish I could get a close inspection of thoes rotors.

[@aleksandarbrankovic3482]

Hi, I need your advice I’m starting to build my coaxial helicopter so I would beg you for pictures of your coaxial gearbox on the rotor. Thank you

[@petrusvandenbergh6587]

What motors are used ? I see 2 ?

[@normanczerski5221]

What about autorotation? How do you dump collective and forward cyclic if the engine quits? Should you make out your will before you go up? How do you spell hairball aviation?

[@silverfoxtrot8297]

YOU DONT

[@krismaitland7885]

It had twin birth engines from memory and you don't go forward cyclic......

[@dalesclafani6361]

I wonder if using concentric drive shaft and belt drive such as the way the very first paraplanes counter rotated its 2 pusher props would be simpler than this really sophisticated transmission?

[@cloudusterable]

It's the rotor reversing gearbox between the rotors that is the heart of this thing, there's no simpler way of doing it

[@franciscoignaciodasilva1720]

Nice and cool! But, how about the autorotation, beeing a fixed pitch rotor?

[@Veldtian1]

I read it was supposed to have a ballistic parachute installed in a production variant, also how many times do you see a helicopter successfully auto rotate to a safe landing, virtually never, that's because the only time its possibly is due to a perfect engine out scenario with a perfect altitude and no other mechanical complications effecting the incident - which hardly ever happens. It's mostly wishful thinking and a coping strategy.

[@kasimalnoor6634]

How to be the way the work of transmission of the propeller blades and how their movement if possible without Traffic

[@Justwantahover]

That's one way to get over the fence.

[@peterwithers9925]

Thomas even the bloke that built the Mosqiuto cant simplifiey this unit

[@cloudusterable]

The heart of this machine is the planetary coaxial gearbox between the rotors. an expensive complicated unit to make. beyond the realms of the home constructer. thats what this machine is all about....Curtis

[@thomaslewis7883]

Yes,expensive and complicated, but very nice,we need someone like the designer of the Mosquito,he is one of those people that has the ability to simplify complex assembly's,in both cost and manufacturing.

[@rodziewicz1]

I wonder if you could use and adapt a counter rotating gearcase from a boat outdrive assy?? Like a Mercruiser Bravo unit?? Just a thought.

[@user-jq2rf4nf3o]

Had a nice talk with the Brothers, It's safe because of the twin engines, I said not if you gas up with contaminated fuel.. That got their brains thinking... Interestng machine

[@buzzlightyear2490]

Gets who the helicopter pilot, he lifted the blades so he doesn't lose any more hair

[@williamk9881]

6:01 wow those blades are close. Put 2 more feet between the upper and lower blades. That thing is scary!

[@Veldtian1]

They spin offset, they're always clear of each other.

[@segredosdotiosam9989]

@@Veldtian1 Offset? they spin opposite to each other.

[@Veldtian1]

@@segredosdotiosam9989 I meant they're offset at right angle to each other in the horizontal plane so they only meet at the 12 o' clock position.

[@segredosdotiosam9989]

@@Veldtian1 well. Anything spinning in opposite direction will meet one in every rotation. what is your point ?

[@DirectorOfOperations811b]

this reminds me of that time I teleported.

[@SmoochyRoo]

Quite possibly the most well flown home-made aircraft that I have ever seen, great job, however, the cyclic of the blades puts them too close to eachother for me to deem this safe to fly. I bet larger rudders would be more responsive and placing the rotors further apart would make this safer to fly. Love it!

[@SmoochyRoo]

@Eddie Hitler I assumed they're fixed in collective pitch but is there no cyclic? He seems to steer using a stick for a reason so there's clearly some control scheme involved that makes the rotors tilt with their tips nearing one another

[@reginaldorodrigues5765]

legal mesmo quem nunca sonhou voando né

[@magicallife3718]

How does it make yaw?

[@peterwithers9925]

No you cannot use a contra rotating Mercruiser unit as Sub. the unit on this machine is unique and purpose built. no short cut sadley Curtis

[@joekenha]

I'm actually not sure. I wasn't there when this video was taken. It was on an old VHS tape that had some other home movies on it.

[@panuvasung5255]

joekenha Please give more information about this one, thank's.

[@thestrongman11]

how much is the mtow of the helicopter?

[@cloudusterable]

Apparantly at the time of all this the Noland bros were told by thier Lawyers not to talk about the contra rotating gear box,

[@pitts2b]

Was this Helicopter designed and built by two brothers? I saw a machine similar to this in Oshkosh in the mid 90's

[@Veldtian1]

The Nolan Bros.

[@2010Barbon]

Great machine, but its not simple, theres more in it than you think

[@giannidri7283]

Dove lo posso acquistare ?

[@mcleodchisi1697]

my question is if this is equipped with a crutch would it not be able to auto rotate during engine failure like a gyrocopter?

[@Veldtian1]

no auto rotation, a ballistic chute.

[@francysamargoc7353]

Muito legal!!!!!

[@dwightbernheimer331]

Just what we all need. A helicopter anybody can fly. The caveat is, a helicopter that anybody can fly, but a helicopter that Isn't capable of Autorotations. I don't want to hear about two engines. Not taking that chance with one, two cycle engine LMAOoooo. Thanks for posting it was good entertainment anyway.

[@gas34full]

GOOOOOD

Haha, yeah quite possibly but you'd have to ask him nicely..!

[@sewalalsahu6434]

[@yukon4511]

Was it capable of forward flight?

[@Justwantahover]

Are you capable of seeing it fly forward in this video? Like just after it took off and flew over the fence?

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

*KAMOV: The Early Years* 😊

[@antoineblanchard]

the upper and lower blades is too near be carefull,,, but nice coax..cheers

[@flygliders]

real nice

[@mcleodchisi1697]

would this rotor system work on a gyrocopter?

[@jakemrcool]

It basically is a gyro rotor head. Gyros don't need counter rotating blades since they are unpowered. But build a model and find out how well it works.

[@murato8711]

Fixed pitch! Yes please.

[@stealhty1]

Nice,,Forgot to said its Co-axial

[@duanewhite3184]

Fly like the wind bullseye

[@nasaastronauta1252]

[@peterwithers9925]

As i have siad before the eccence of that machine is the planetary reversing gear box between the rotors it is difficult to make. theres no mystery about it .. . Peter

[@marionwilliams7907]

WITH A FIXED PITCH ROTOR SYSTEM YOU are betting on an absolutely 100%reliable engine running, never ever ever fail, there will always be something, out of fuel, a bad spark plug, any hiccup absolutely guarantees a sad day for your family and anyone watching, any machine you build should be capable of auto rotation,
