I couldn’t trust the precision needed, even if it’s tested and safe. My anxiety. đŹ

These birds were awesome to watch on the fire line. Crazy lifting power and precision with bucket drops. They seemed to be putting down as much if not more water than the giant chinooks.

When it fails, it really fails.

Someone tell me what the benefits are?
For me it feels like an over complicated solution where the smallest error will invite a catastrophic problem.
So the benefits must be a lot greater than â it looks really coolâ

And yet we still donât have flying cars. Itâs gotta be on the horizon right?

Thats just asking to die. I don’t trust humans to check bolts and screws regularly enough to ever get into something like that

The added risk overpowers the added stability in my ignorance of the subject.

So… What happens when the timing is off?

They are very popular for logging

Im sure they are geared such that they dont have to be synchronized. How is yaw controlled though?

I dont understand the benefit of this if yoy want the stability of dual rotors why not go for a coaxial system like the ka50 and 52

Who else was watching till the end for full speed and got disappointed?

This gives more stability or what ?

How many of ya’ll – like me – are watching this and hearing the old “Airwolf” title sequence music in your head?

That is TERRIFYING. I was once on the path to becoming a pilot and the one thing my instructor told us was to NEVER fly a helicopter because of how unreliable they can be and the fact that they have no ability to recover if one of their rotors malfunctioned or broke. If one of those rotors are even slightly off, it’s instant death for the people in that aircraft. It’s the definition of nightmare fuel. đ¨

Great helicopter, super stable, carries a lot of weight for its size.

What’s the benefit of this over a typical helicopter?
So bad ass đ
I bet this requires insane precision gears to work
They are called intermeshing-rotor helicopters
