wat hapnd

theres only one reason that you can hear that MD500 from that far away. it has the four bladed tail rotor. thats what makes that whining sound

[bburrett]

I think you mean the turbine makes the whining sound.... Also, not all 500s use the 4 blade TR. A lot of operators prefer the 2 bladed setup. Also, the 4 bladed TR is quieter than the 2.....

also...random...but ive noticed that in cold conditions sound tends to travel further anyways. plus, these guys are in the middle of nowhere which means less sound around to make it easier to hear things in the distance.

beautiful scene at 0:49 - has a "children of men" of cloverfield feel to it dont ya think?

@BMXStatus302 the whole point of the 4 bladed tail rotor is to reduce noise....thats its #1 selling point. 2 bladed tail rotors are much louder.

Always no an MD when you hear it..Best sounding helicopter ever built.

[Feuerwaffen]

Don't forget Hueys!

[motokid032]

Hueys sound good too..But the 500 is the best sounding 5 blade imo..I actually got to fly a Bell 205A1++ which is basically a Super Huey.
