B4RT
I got the excellent opportunity to fly an EC120, AS350, Jet Ranger, and 407

comfy seats, excellent maintenance access, and baggage storage areas.

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!

Why are so few gyrocopters developed? by
Joachim Colling
To me the gyrocopter principle seems to be much cheaper (and safer?)
than the heliocopter. Why has development of medium and larger size
gyrocopters stopped? And smaller are also very few?

UH-1 Tailpipe by
Brien
I have a UH-1 tailpipe with cooling fins and looks like a heat exchanger and
a line for fuel. Was this used to reduce the heat signature and risk of heat
seeking missile attack.

static thrust in pounds produced by tail rotor???????? by
[email protected]
Hi
I need a perspective so this is a general question . If a 6 foot dia.
tail rotor is turning 2500 rpm how many pounds of static thrust at a
particular pitch angle would be produced???? And is that for a flat
rotor blade meaning no helical twist. Any senario close to the above
would be a big help....
