Now they use Kaman K-MAX as a lifting vehicle (it can carry a lot for its size)
And Osprey has such a great range that chinooks can't compete

2019-08-04 20:34:46 UTC  

umm what dank?

2019-08-04 20:34:47 UTC  

Advantage of basically being a prop plane that can pretend it's a helo for a bit

2019-08-04 20:35:48 UTC  

so pretty much a bug heli

2019-08-04 20:36:09 UTC  

Synchropter

2019-08-04 20:36:29 UTC  

does it play dubstep?

2019-08-04 20:37:20 UTC  

It has two rotors that are spinning in the opposite directions and are intermeshing

2019-08-04 20:37:20 UTC  

God GATE was great

2019-08-04 20:37:33 UTC  

Wish Bookwalker carried it :(

2019-08-04 20:37:34 UTC  

@Eirshy i got the complete anime on dvd

2019-08-04 20:37:42 UTC  

They generate a lot of lift, but can't fly too fast because of rotor interference

2019-08-04 20:37:49 UTC  

@Uksio you got a video of it?

2019-08-04 20:37:57 UTC  

I mean, I got the complete anime on the 8th sea

2019-08-04 20:38:09 UTC  

myself

2019-08-04 20:38:14 UTC  

nice

2019-08-04 20:38:30 UTC  

god that is one freaky looking heli

2019-08-04 20:38:57 UTC  

It is also very unusual in how it is controlled

2019-08-04 20:39:00 UTC  

holy shit wow

2019-08-04 20:39:25 UTC  

you see how its was moving while starting up?

2019-08-04 20:39:28 UTC  

Even though it has hydraulics, it is fully and completely steerable with hydraulics being dead

2019-08-04 20:39:38 UTC  

holy shit does that have a lot of torque

2019-08-04 20:39:49 UTC  

Because it has control cables as a backup to fall onto

2019-08-04 20:39:55 UTC  

Yeah but one maint issue with the thing that keeps the rotors in sync and it blows itself up

2019-08-04 20:40:38 UTC  

Rototrs are connected via cogs

2019-08-04 20:40:38 UTC  

'cause they even get slightly out of sync and your rotors chop themselves apart

2019-08-04 20:40:44 UTC  

They can never go out of sync

2019-08-04 20:40:53 UTC  

Same as in the Osprey

2019-08-04 20:41:08 UTC  

i mean if something fails sure

2019-08-04 20:42:01 UTC  

damn ... and now I need to find a light-novel for "GATE"

2019-08-04 20:42:02 UTC  

😦

2019-08-04 20:42:47 UTC  

its a good read

2019-08-04 20:43:12 UTC  

I wouln't say never, I highly doubt it's a single cog; faulty tollerances or just too much wear on the parts in that assembly can cause it to have enough give to allow something catastrophic. The fact that it'd need a deviance of 25% makes it highly unlikely, and they probably designed it to have as little chance of that as possible....

2019-08-04 20:43:14 UTC  

buuuuuut

2019-08-04 20:43:48 UTC  

I was actually reading "Release That Witch" but .. emm ... well, it's too chinese
