X-Wings and Canard Rotor Wings. by Charles Gray
Two questions. 1. What ever became of the X-wing stopped rotor concept? It seemed to be a big thing in the 1980's but just went away. Is anyone still working on it? 2. IN a similar Vein, did the Canard Rotor Wing X-50 Dragonfly ever recover from its accident? Thanks!

Tilt rotors vs. helicopters-- manueverability in VT mode. by Charles Gray

heli flying - which would be more fun/useful Schweizer 300C or a Bell 47G by Charles Morrice
You are comparing apples and oranges. A Schweizer is still in production and parts/support available; a G is long out of production and parts are harder and harder to find. If you want to fly lots rather than drive an antique a Schweizer is for you. In my humble opinion. CDM "Bonanza Man"...

Engine Out Operation by Charles Talleyrand
I'm curious. Can a Blackhawk, Chinook, or other large military helicopter hover with one engine out? What is the procedure for one- engine-out operations for large helicopters? I assume no one auto rotates a 30,000 lbs helicopter??? The obvious internet searches didn't help. -Much...

Re-Engine Programs by Charlie Echo
Are the CH-53's and CH-47's getting their engines upgraded or replaced? I have heard rumor that both airframes are getting re-engined with the Rolls-Royce AE-1107's. Thanks, CE
