Experimental Helicopter Test

[@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?

[@paulodasilvaandre7808]

Congratulations on successfully testing professional piloting 🙏💯🙏👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@gateway8833]

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

[@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......

[@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

[@4406bbldb]

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

[@thestrongman11]

how much is the mtow of the helicopter?

[@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 ?

[@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 )

[@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

[@kasimalnoor6634]

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

[@deniskoredisko371]

[@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.

[@j69chevelle]

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

[@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,

[@peterwithers9925]

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

[@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.

[@andersonbicalhodesouza3588]

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

[@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.

[@AnandHelicsKalyani]

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

[@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

[@นรชัยเสทธนากรณ์]

เปลี่ยนใบพัดใหม่ให้มีองศาสูงขึ้นจะมีแรงยกดีขึ้นปรับใบพัดดีๆโดยไม่ทำให้กำลังเครื่องลดลงผมว่านี่จะได้ ฮไซค์มินิที่ดีอีกรุ่นทีเดียว

[@Veldtian1]

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

[@kenmey6803]

What you have super cool. Thanks for the video .

[@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.

[@HongyaMa]

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

[@antoineblanchard]

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

[@buzzlightyear2490]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@magicallife3718]

How does it make yaw?

[@airgunningyup]

incredible , and my dream for the future

[@abhisheksoni9841]

[@autosocorronetoneto1685]

Muito bom. Teria o projeto pra venda?

[@DirectorOfOperations811b]

this reminds me of that time I teleported.

[@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".

[@kareyriggs1018]

My bad. I didn't think it would be controllable.

[@jahirulhoque9484]

Please engine name and cc

[@murato8711]

Fixed pitch! Yes please.

[@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.

[@2010Barbon]

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

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,

[@pallascat]

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but an autogyro is fixed pitch, yet it autorotates just fine. Wouldn't this one be the same as long as it's able to pick up sufficient speed?
