There are gyroplanes like the one made by Groen Bros, and also the old Fairy, which used ramjets on the rotortips to boost rpm and lift during takeoff, but...

I was reading this thing: http://www.drive.cranfield.ac.uk/cfml/dieselmotorbike4.cfm Could this work for a small helicopter, like the kind BJ Schramm was marketing? Comments?

Here's something I was reading: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996380 So beyond the mere claim of being more efficient, why would it actually be so? The claim of hovering for 4 days is quite a jump, when compared to Global Hawk. Is this even vaguely realistic?

It is not well known, that also helicopter pilots and helicopter companies can get aero-domains. If they have an own website or send a document, they can get a domain name at .aero and at the official subdomain rotorcraft.aero, which has been established by SITA. In the future, everybody, who is...

Sitting here in Mobile, Alabama watching the storm track headed right for us. Of course many are preparing for it and offshore rigs have begun evacuating. We haven't made a decision to move the aircraft out yet and that will probably happen tomorrow. With Brookley field sticking out into Mobile...

If you think the recent requirement by TSA to have CFI's register, and to develop a database at your private expense, with threat of a $10,000 fine if you don't comply, better keep your eyes open for the even more sinister legislation for the national identity card with HR10 and S2774.

I forget the exact reason for this event, but it included a lot of the local politicians at the Britstown Tower in downtown Johannesburg. The tower is similar to...

Over the past weekend in San Diego, an 84 year old man decided to unstrap and get out of the aircraft while on short final. It killed him of course. He was in a biplane but it reminded me of some incidents when I had passengers who became the emergency in helicopters too. How to handle them? A pax...
