Synchropter

does it play dubstep?

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

God GATE was great

Wish Bookwalker carried it :(

@Eirshy i got the complete anime on dvd

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

@Uksio you got a video of it?

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

myself

nice

god that is one freaky looking heli

It is also very unusual in how it is controlled

holy shit wow

you see how its was moving while starting up?

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

holy shit does that have a lot of torque

Because it has control cables as a backup to fall onto

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

Rototrs are connected via cogs

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

They can never go out of sync

Same as in the Osprey

i mean if something fails sure

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

😦

its a good read

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....

buuuuuut

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

If you haven't yet treated yourself to Youjo Senki you should

book 6 of the official translation like just came out

TBH, I should probably finish https://www.wuxiaworld.com/novel/warlock-of-the-magus-world at some point

youjo senki is also a good one too

Kek.

note2self: play Morrowind (yes, I know it's from skyrim, but skyrim was boring)
