Hi friends, Recently I stumbled upon a >>facebook post<< showing a couple of pictures of a two-seater helicopter. It resembles a Rotorway Exec - especially when you look at rotors - but comments say that it is a different animal powered by a Jabiru 3300 Gen4 engine, with fuel system and exhaust...

Vertical Flight Society just published excellent video narrated by Cherles Seibel himself about Seibel helicopters. Described are: - Seibel S-1 (design study on tiltrotor) - Seibel S-2 (design study on coaxial helicopter) - Seibel S-3 (single-seat helicopter with CG control mechanism...

Greetings, saw a thread on the forum with a flying SAM. I have an idea to develop such a project using a mega helicopter with good armor, missile interception, missiles in the arsenal of the helicopter (beech and others). Help to develop such a project

Although the excellent AH1 Cobra was deployed to Europe in the 1970s and received TOW missiles to help it kill Soviet armour, noone else in NATO could afford it. That left W Germany sticking six HOT missile launchers on its Bo 105 light observation helicopter and the British Army SS11 missiles...

Sweden is generally a very small player on the helicopter market, however, there are a number of projects throughout history. If you know any little information, please post here. Below i put a Westland Lynx armed with eight RBS70 anti aircraft missiles, probably a mockup, iirc from 1989.

The US Huey Cobra was a formidable gunship helicopter. Unlike the later Apache which has found widespread use.with NATO, the Cobra did not get much NATO use. West Germany should have been a major user. TOW equipped Cobras would have added much to Bundeswehr units. Instead the Boelkow B105...

A thread or discuss about Iranian forward base/helicopter carrier IRINS Makran. Projects, armament and other.

I am amateur writer, I am currently on my 26th page of what I am writing. I have so far come up with help of friends in the military : 1. Tank with two variants (tracks and wheels) 2. Support vehicle of said tank Now I am lacking other important components of army : helicopters and planes...

Looking for any documentation in regards to the A129 International, i have some stuff of my own however it wouldn't hurt having a bit more since this helicopter has not really been vastly documented when compared to other counterparts.

Dear fellow members, Attached is just a little teaser of what is coming up to the market soon.

The Centenary Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society 1866 - 1966 (Vol 70, No 661, January 1966) carries a piece (pp.235-242) by Raoul Hafner on "British Rotorcraft". He compiled his history by getting first-hand accounts from his helicopter-making colleagues (for he was among them), right...

I'm painting the art for the Sikorsky S-72 X-wing. Which aircraft’s landing gear (undercarriage) was used for the S-72 X-wing landing gear? It seems to be similar to the Sikorsky S-70 (UH-60 Black Hawk ) in terms of wheels. Sikorsky S-72, SH-72J_JMSDF , UH-72J_JASDF , VFH-72N, fanart...

Published on Oct 30, 2014 BLACK HAWK helicopters continue to be the work horse for the U.S. Army. Forty military and civil organizations around the world use this helicopter or one of its derivative models. View: http://youtu.be/BBk1sTWPKI8

Did George Orwell invent the concept of the helicopter gunship in his novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' which he wrote in 1947? "April 4th, 1984. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very good one of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean. Audience much amused...

I have searched Google, MSN, attached sites here, etc. and I have found no picture at all illustrating these Mil Mi-24 variants: Mi-24F Hind-A (designation may be unofficial) Mi-24B Hind-A (not Mi-24A Hind-B) Mi-24PTRK Mi-24T Mi-24VP Mi-24RA Hind-G1 Mod Mi-24BMT Mi-24VN Hind-E (So far I only...
