K-MAX® Air Drop Test

Umanned cargo delivery = Free supplies to the enemy

very clever

[TiagoTiagoT]

What benefits does the K-MAX offers over other platforms that can be converted into unmanned? In other words, why did you guys choose to use it instead of other models?

[Jurflip2]

@TiagoTiagoT Kaman experimented with remote controlled syncropters in the fifties already. The Kaman intermeshing rotor design is inherently stable which made it very easy to fly. Nowadays, with automated stability augmentation systems, "ordinary" helicopters would also be useable. The K-Max has other advantages though: It is a purpose designed flying crane, is simple and can lift a huge weight in relation to the size of the (single) engine employed.

Beats GI Joes and grocery bags.

That looks like satan designed it to cut people up, and, it flies.

I think I would like it flying over enemy lines, low, and fast, so if they did shoot it down, they would be shredded. That's what it looks like, Dark Reign, the future of war, the shredder, except that it flies.

Ну в общем вертолёты (КА) Камова вам всё равно не переплюнуть. И кстати где-то я уже такую схему расположения несущих винтов видел, LockheedMartin занимается плагиатом. Да и толку то от этого, всё равно хвостовая балка огромного размера, и поэтому, этому геликоптеру нужна будет специальная посадочная площадка.

[Aizenvsanyonedontmix]

so is that helicopter like rc heli but bigger?

[greencatish]

Can I get one to fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator X?

[scottretta]

I beleive they call that target practice for the emeny.

CARE PACKAGE ON THE WAY GO MW2 U ROCK

i AM JOKING LOL

[sprig3432]

CARE PACKAGE ON THE WAY

[Ztex]

Testing Parapchutes and no the K-MAX is not a new helo design...

[Marineinftry]

twin rotors. looks fun

[Awon2zip]

cool helicopter!

[wellerocks]

I didn't really get the purpose? And is that a new helicopter?

[imuhim]

@wellerocks Theyre testing new parachutes

And i have no idea

[wellerocks]

@imuhim haha ok, thanks for the answer bro

[LockheedMartinVideos]

@wellerocks the tests are to show that the unmanned K-MAX helicopter can resupply troops with cargo airdropped by parachute, adding a new delivery method for the helicopter. The helicopter itself is not new - what is new is that Lockheed Martin and Kaman have transformed it into an unmanned aircraft system for autonomous cargo delivery.

lmao. funny stuff^^
