On March 7, 2017, Bell Helicopter presented a conceptual, futuristic looking aircraft. The mock-up presented is configured for eight passengers, but will be capable of accommodating up to 12. [1] On top of the aircraft are five "morphing" main rotor blades which aim to allow the tip of each blade to move between different flight regimes. [2]
Advanced Supersonic Transport (AST) model in wind tunnel. The aircraft design process is a loosely defined method used to balance many competing and demanding requirements to produce an aircraft that is strong, lightweight, economical and can carry an adequate payload while being sufficiently reliable to safely fly for the design life of the aircraft.
In 1950, after evaluating the single-seat Kamov Ka-10, Soviet Naval Aviation developed a requirement for a larger and more capable two-seat helicopter with an enclosed cabin, but keeping the coaxial rotor layout of the Ka-10. [3] [4] The first prototype of the resulting design, the Kamov Ka-15, entered flight testing in early 1952. [4]
The Mini-500 design was initially based upon Augusto Cicaré's control system design as incorporated in his CH-6 prototype helicopter, but company president Dennis Fetters and Cicaré were unable to agree on licensing terms. Fetters instead elected to design and patent a "newly improved control system".
The helicopter employs a relatively conventional design and construction. It is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney Rzeszów -built PZL-10B turboshaft engines; the original powerplant, the PZL-10W, was based on the earlier PZL-10S – a licensed derivative of the Russian-designed Glushenkov TVD-10 B turboprop engines which had powered the ...
The Vortech G-1, also called the Compcop G-1, is an American helicopter that was designed in the 1970s. Plans for amateur construction were originally supplied by Compcop and today are provided by Vortech. [1] [2] [3]
The Bell 427's cabin is 13 in (33 cm) longer than the 407, and consists primarily of composite construction. The design removes the roof beam which obstructs the cabin on the 206/206L/407, and has an optional sliding main cabin door. [2] The 427 offers eight-place seating including pilot in a two+three+three arrangement.
The prototype of the one-man open framework homebuilt helicopter powered by a 34 hp (25 kW) Triumph motorcycle engine. Hobbycopter 101 Production version of the XH-1 offered as a kit for $900, or as plans for $35 to homebuilders. Hobbycopter 102 Strengthened Model 101 with 34 hp (25 kW) Triumph and a fibre-glass cockpit enclosure.
