and optimal props for cruising. But the disk rotor helicopter shown on

the

www.vranek.ch/diskrotor.htm will be able (someday) to cruise as fast as

a

Lear Jet above all of the weather and lift in hoverig so much as a
conventional helicopter with the same installed power.

OK George

I said your concept had about as much merit as a tilt rotor in previous
posts. But now you are trying to stretch it a bit.

Hallo John

I am pleased, that you still remember me and the disk rotor helicopter.
Years ago I saw the Bell XV-15 flying at the Paris Airshow and my opinion
was, that the pilot transports a basket of rough eggs. When I was a farmer
boy, I often had to transport a basket of rough eggs to the city with the
bicycle of my mom. Therefore I know, what it means.... Now, a row of years
later and development costs of billion $$, the V22 does not fly better.
Therefore I mean, that the disk rotor concept has much more merit as a
tiltrotor and I am only trying to publish this fact.

I'm not challenging whether the disk rotor will out perform the tilt
rotor. But your message states you will get the same performance with
the disk rotor as you will with an airplane in airplane mode or as much
performance as a helicopter in hover mode. This I find to be pushing the
limits of insulting our intelligence.
