Crew Chief Directing his own helo

[marines10941]

1:39-2:10 you can easily tell the tail rotors are spinning, just at a rate the camera is at. Anyways i will be a crew chief for these soon and i cant freakin wait! Rah.

[tmill1967]

"Crew chief directing his own bird because everybody else was tied up doing their jobs. heaven forbid the crew chiefs do something anyways!" We Crew Chiefs will remember that you need your precious helicopter fixed in the field. You'd be AMAZED at how fast your "I'M A PILOT" attitude will change when we find a way to GROUND your precious steed over an instrument light!!

[globemaster68]

if the rotors were moving, wouldnt you have prop blur??

[NOUMAN905]

plz tell me the name of the air base,because a chinese y-8 also be stand at a side

[killjoyduece]

I remember those on Balad, they had mini guns mounted everywhere. In the Army all you get is 240H. Should have joined the Airforce.

[amartinjoe]

OY! What's an ANTONOV doing in this vid?

[NastyNatey]

love and miss those shitters!

[twodragons6]

its the adacg at al asad

[coulterww]

There is no trick... The Rotors are turning almost in time with the frame rate as the video is being shot at. Simple.

[DeeCee8121]

That's a Russian-built fixed wing cargo aircraft on the right. Where are these guys?

[prodjectj]

ok so first off these are CH-53E's i am a crew cheif on these very planes second the tales rotors are def turning if u dont think so ur an idiot and have no idea how a helo flys. thank you to all the smart people out there that correct the dumb ones

[answercalls]

someone sounds like a marine sempfi

[SuperMike82]

but you'd think if the tail rotors are turning, you'd notice something. is it even possible to spin up the main rotors without engaging the tail rotors?

[sbentjies]

Yeah, it's obviously a camera illusion. Look how "slow" the main rotors are turning. Even at idle, they'd be trucking around.

[ghssheyadam56]

thats pretty cool ive never even thought about that, im gonna have to try it now

[Porkyboy71]

b101aa2 is such a cheese ball, of course the tail rotor is spinning lol. What safety feature, its called duck or your head will be diced like chicken.....

[1Paintballer]

You can see the tail rotors moving but really slowly you gotta look really hard at it

[b101aa2]

bet most people watching, don't even realize the tail rotors aren't even engaged, while the main rotors are purring away. love the safety feature of ch-53's. no chance of body parts flying around, when it's being loaded.

[Davis0338]

The back rodors where moving it was the camera that was making it do that! just thought you should know!

[b101aa2]

@Davis0338 do you realize you just trolled to a comment all the way back to a year ago just to talk trash? rofl

[Heist527]

The tail rotor is ALWAYS turning when the head is turning.

[allenkong892]

I bet you obviously don't know what you are talking about. as long as the head is turning the tail is turning. due to a tail drive shaft and a coupling that connects when you have the tail spread out. ant the tail rotor isnt spinning in this video because of the camera and how many frames a sec it take is set just right to catch the blades in almost the same postion each frame

[promustangman]

They Are HH-53s  Gas tanks and refueling probe !!!!

[Mallett123]

the reason that the tail rotor is there is to counteract the torque created by the main rotor blade which makes it want to spin in the same direction that the main rotor turns. thats the reason the tail rotor is on the opposit side. the tail rotor and main rotor are directly linked through driveshafts that go right down the tail boom... duhhhh. no safety feature. camera trick.

[Porkyboy71]

@b101aa2 Do you realize that the main and tail rotor are internally connected hence they CANT be disengaged genius,, do make make comments about things you dont know.....

[MightySaturn5]

@Porkyboy71 I assume you mean during flight since I'm sure you already know they have the ability to fold all 7 blades back as well as open the tail end assembly (thus disengaging it) which allows for storage below deck of aircraft carriers and assorted hangers

[arullo123]

@b101aa2 this is the most rediculous statement i have ever heard. Being a plane captain on 53s I can tell you there is no way to "disengage the tail rotors" that makes no sense whatsoever. You are such an expert

[steveyoungblood323]

@b101aa2 I was a crew cheif on rh-53d it is a camera thing.

the tail rotor will not stop to allow loading.

[19sideshow75]

@b101aa2 please tell me you're dead or sterile now. You can't really be stupid enough to think that the tail rotor disengages can you?

[choppergage]

why rotate wont spin?

[sigmasquadleader]

Camera FPS Doesn't mesh correctly with rotation of the rotors.

[N21X]

Is it an optical illusion or can the tail rotor actually be disengaged for loading? I crewed Cobra's and their tail rotors spun with the main.

[Davis0338]

It is an optical illusion....the tail rotors are moving but the setting on my camera just makes them seem like they are not.

[simplemanhere]

You can hardly tell. Wow!
