carriers had both types of chinooks on board before osprey happened

Amphibious assault ships.

Calling them carriers is inaccurate.

One as an air crane to move things on the deck/between ships, and another to transport people /cargo short distances

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

umm what dank?

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

so pretty much a bug heli

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"

😦
