Towing With Helicopters by peter wezeman
The Navy uses helicopters to tow mine sweeping gear, and I heard that at least once helicopters were used to launch sailplanes for a contest. How do you calculate the tractive effort that a given helicopter could exert at a particular speed, density altitude, etc.? Thank you, Peter...

NYPDs New 412EP by Micbloo
http://www.rockawave.com/news/2003/1024/Community/008.html Interesting that the ship is NOT in the traditional blue/white NYPD colors. And the N # is N23FH which I believe is dedicated to the 23 NYPD officers who died on 9/11. Thus "23 Fallen Heroes".

number of rotor blades by Rob Fonhof
Just a theoretical question that someone may be able to help with. Alot of helicopters have only two rotor blades, ie:Robinsons, Bells, etc. Others have multiples, ie:dauphins with 4, Hughes etc. If a blade is thrown on a two blade, bend over and kiss your rear bye bye. What would happen if you had...

Dubya / Kill Devil Hills irony by Bart
