HELITRIKE 1

[@Bras1965]

When I had 14 I "invented" the same machine...Few years later I knew it needs some more things - for ex. teetering hinge, collective control and rudder...

[@MrRamchandrapai]

@seanscott722 . Dear Sean, Great to know that you fly trikes with only your arms. I am a trike pilot too. We are planning to develop a 2 - place trike with a Wankel Engine developed in our laboratory. I will keep you posted on the progress of the Helitrike. Regards Ram Pai

[@cloudusterable]

With this wieght shift trike, the engine HAS to be on top and move with the rotor drive etc theres no other way of doing it, but its top heavy and will topple easy

[@scheusselmensch5713]

No more a weight shift aircraft than any other helicopter or autogiro. This machine has proper cyclic control.

[@sappy349]

i have always been a big fan with aircraft and i wish you good luck with all your reserch

[@ufoengines]

Very Cool! Working one a similar idea but using a tip jet monocopter rotor system with weight sift steering. Dig It!

[@BadenAirTraffic]

High Altitude World Record :) But great work at all for this machine .... respect I don´t want to sit inside

[@cburgoon]

Dr. Ram, I can not tell from the video. Are the rotors rigid or semi-rigid teetering underslung? Waht control forces are yu feeling? They look light. Response time? What is your project's current status?

[@aviator5177]

As the name says, Helitrike. but trikes are wight shift flying machines. with this one there might be stability issures as the engine is fitted too high.

[@MrRamchandrapai]

@vedulji Hello Viraf, Yes we could do with more power, but we could manage with this for the time being. Not yet gone to full throttle in untethered flight as yet. Look forward to meeting you soon. Regards Ram Pai

[@MrRamchandrapai]

@fgindl Thanks for your encouragement. I will keep you posted on developments as we go along. Auf wiedersehen. Ram Pai

[@jpkrucker]

you have the right idea just need more power.

[@km-333UKLOV]

По-моему сильно разнесён центр тяжести , из-за двигателя , надо ближе к оси винтов , будет легче управлять , не благодарите (мишаерт) 🤔

[@MikeUSA777]

Very nice work on the Helitrike !! I'm working on a similar micro version here in the USA (see vid). Your machine is very inspiring. Keep up the great work !!

[@Eakka080]

I wish to know how are foot pedals connected and how does it work with coaxial helicopter.. can you explain or make a video on it please..

[@cameronlapworth2284]

Foot pedals are turning the rudders which re-direct thrust from the rotors, you don't have adverse yaw as the rotors counter rotate so you don't need much re-directed thrust to give yaw control.

[@michelhollander6553]

Hello did you build the gear box and coaxial rotor system yourself? Or do you have plan from it or the address to buy only the rotor system??

[@filipczaban1]

can anybody explain me, why all videos with little one person helicopter, shows flying only for a minute and max 3m high??? Thanx!

[@moonflyadventures750]

Sir ,m apki help kr skta hu apke is project ko flying krane me ,, give me a chance,

[@ufoengines]

Will future designs have Floats?

[@jeyapaulsamathanam7057]

Mr.Ram Pai, I am sorry to say that neither the trike nor the powered hang glider are as complicated and confusing as your prototype. Your machine also needs wheels. Otherwise you may soon tip over while testing your invention. The main problem with your machine is not the shortage of ideas, but the inherent lack of stability.

[@robertmcaninch4982]

the man in scare to death to fly it

[@janette6360]

It is a concept, you have to improve and progress, you have a good rotor, the gyrocopetro concept with double helix works as you have it, but with a smaller horizontal thrust propeller, it would be like a helicopter without a tail rotor and maybe auto -I turn if you achieve a good speed.Good luck to you, I will be watching your progress. Es un concepto,tienes que ir mejorando y progressando,tienes un buen rotor,trabaja el concepto del gyrocopetro con doble helice tal como lo tienes,pero con una helice mas pequeña de empuje horizontal,seria como un helicopetero sin rotor de cola y quizas auto-giro si logras una buena velocidad.Buena suerte para usted,estare pendiente se usu progresos.

[@nasaastronauta1252]

hola y tu como sabes esto

[@PraveenKumar-kq6dk]

It is very interesting. Which engine are you using? Can you share some technical data are about this project?

[@MrRamchandrapai]

Praveen Kumar We are using Rotax 582 65 HP engine. Thanks.

[@cloudusterable]

I cant understand why he built the craft so high, it must be about 10ft top to bottom, being lower less likley to topple over, plus the handling and storage and wieght issue.....Peter

[@nasaastronauta1252]

i think its fine remember the whirlwind it creates below

[@aabeejan4238]

Poor ideas, so poor result, the Engine is placed too high, so it can't fly lol.

[@michaelpurcell2072]

Widen those skids to 18 feet to get a more forgiving balance point for testing. Good Luck

[@hasibarifai4310]

How much is the power of the engine ?

[@nasaastronauta1252]

3500 dollars

[@josephvanwie6706]

I'm fairly certain that I know where the name for this build came from. As you can clearly see this poor man is scared as hell to fly this machine and it looks like a trike. Need I say more. Also he is tall so its built to match his height then he doesn't have to bend over to work on it. Sir, I cannot understand the reasoning behind placing most of the weight above the center of balance. I sincerely hope that you are able to fly It and not be injured in the process.

[@YANGNIMOG]

Tipping toes only. No flight.

[@sumondeb7904]

help me idea helicopter I working

[@MrRamchandrapai]

What is your idea?

[@janette6360]

No funciona,en el trike con ala delta, el ala recibe el impacto del aire que la mantien volando,esa fuerza es adversa al peso de la aeronave,eso hace que el ala sea docil de manejar,inclusive una vez volando puedes retirar las manos y ellla se autoajusta para seguir volando sola,en esta aparato eso no sucede,pasaras todo el tiempo equilibrando el rotor,para mantenerse volando,esto es una odisea para el piloto,es muy inestable,debes utilizar un mando de baston y bajar el centro de gravedad,la cola no debe nunca ir pegada del rotor ,la cola va pegada del trike y va fija,el rotor siendo mas liviano es facilmente manejable. It does not work, in the trike with a hang glider, the wing receives the impact of the air that keeps it flying, that force is adverse to the weight of the aircraft, that makes the wing easy to handle, even once flying you can remove your hands and she adjusts herself to continue flying alone, in this device that does not happen, you will spend all the time balancing the rotor, to keep flying, this is an odyssey for the pilot, it is very unstable, you must use a cane control and lower the center of gravity, the tail should never be stuck on the rotor, the tail is attached to the trike and is fixed, the rotor being lighter is easily manageable

[@AnandHelicsKalyani]

good .

[@AG-id5fj]

Dear sir, Your design is too complicated. Make it easy and reduce the weight. Make easy control s

[@kovboj3000]

and flying is who...?

[@cloudusterable]

people with little helicopters Flil Czaban fly them for one minute at 3m because there too hairy, violent, and dangerous and havent got the bottle to do any more, and come to there senses, i speak from experience...................Peter

[@hakanbalci2302]

Not enough pinch angle to fly

[@davidross932]

That's bouncing around on the ground not flying

[@franklin308]

Pensé verlo volar

[@IntelligenceG5]

dit lijkt nergens op man

[@dinnyconway695]

Not enough power

Your helitrik have not success i am engineer,, contact me

I see this all the time... pilots too chicken to take off..
