There's occasional sightings of these by travelers on Interstate 15 &
40 in the Mojave Desert. Apparently a contractor operates a couple of them as war-game material for exercises at the Army's Ft. Irwin (north of I-15) and the Marine Corps Base at Twentynine Palms (ie, south of I-40). -R.S.Hoover |

Does that helicopter have some kind of computer controlled rpm governor? It's a Turbine. It has to have. Usually it regulates somewhere between 93 and 103% depending on what you want it to do. It's a combination of fuel control and rotor pitch. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
