you have no idea what you are talking about. ofc all rotors feather, but this has nothing to do with being semi rigid og rigid.
Fully articulated = feathering, flap and lead-lag.
Semi rigid = feathering and flap only
Rigid = feathering only.
I know this cause I am a pilot my self and my company has a BO-105. I don't have a type rating on it myself, but I know enough about it to know you are wrong.
Anyway. a short wikipedia search would have told you all this.
I got woozy just watching. It was AWESOME!!! Had a pilot get jiggy with it in a CH-53 once but obviously nothing like this guy. That kinda ride I would pay for definitely.
I don't think any maneuvers in this video put any significant g force load on the heli. But... It's RIGID rotor helicopter. In most helicopters you can't do it, because the blades are hinged and the rotor plane moves much faster then helicopter body. Most designs use hinged blades. This allows for better stability and ease of control. But prevents you from doing any stunts like we see here. This is a special case. I wander why they needed to do it?
Xtremedude100: You can easily let the helicopter drop through the air like you would do it in an autorotation, and then recover almost instantly be increasing pitch angle. The rotor system and the rest of the helicopter is built for such kind of operations.
Its strange how this heli design dont make you thik that its capable of this kind a things!!!It looks a bit retro but no obviously!? Its awesome!!!And if something goes wrong...?no ejection seats! You are toasted!!!I guess only balls of steel are doing the busines!!!
accutally there are some types of helicopter that have ejection seats. When they pull ejection handle explosive charges in the rotor explode and the pilots are ejected.
It was 1975 here in the Philippines when I first saw a BO-105 performing simplier acrobatic maneuvers then a loop. I didnt know then that a lot of other manuevers can be performed on such a machine at rapid intervals such as those shown in this video. Whew!
Articulated= Hughes sikorsky,simi articulated=Brantly,Simi rigid=Bell Hiller,Rigid= Lockheed,MBB Jonny go back to school

Once again, I'll set the record straight......for the misinformed... Norgesmann!
The BO 105 has a "SEMI-RIGID" Rotor system! The Blades Feather, which is why there are "pitch links" attached to them!
It has a Rigid "Rotor Head".........Not to be confused with a "RIGID ROTOR SYSTEM"!

Wowh! These acrobatics are cool. I always know planes could do it, but helicopters also?

It's actually a Semi-Rigid Rotor System!
johnnybegoode34 2 years ago
@johnnybegoode34 You are wrong. That is the BO-105, and it has a rigid system. Semi-rigid are usually the two-bladed ones, like on the 206 and R22.

Outstanding. Is it possible to allow a helicopter to drop through the air then recover or is it too much strain?

just another thing for enemies to disable a helicopter..but it would have to be a pretty lucky shot i suppose
royaltonrotors08 3 years ago
A Ka-50 has a coaxial main rotor system (2 rotors rotating in opposite directions). This looks more like a BO-105 (Bolkow)

What is the pitch angle when it loops? and damn thoose must be some expensive parts on that helicopter!

mate, they're AERObatics, seeing as he's flying.
ACRObatics are gymnastics.

Totaly agree it just shows peoples lack of knowledge when they called Aerobatics ACROBATICS!!! Might as well call Roller Blades Ice skates!!!
kennywomble 3 years ago
calm down dude.... no use in calling people out on not knowing something that isn't really common knowledge.
know if you went to a aeroplane/heli show and people were making this mistake then i'd understand.

Long live the MBB Bo-105! The Bolkow is one of the sturdiest and most maneuverable aircraft ever designed
and is still being widely used all over the world. I used to fly one for a living and I still miss it!
