i saw this i real and its just weirder, but still amazing to see

[Boutdumonde1]

Look at the French-German helicopter Tiger. It does these tricks easier and more! lol.

[grandsea2]

It's so they can safely land in strong winds and hold the aircraft down so the ground crew can tie it down. The reasons the Apache can do these stunts are the design of the pitch housing on the main rotor head, the fact that it has rubber bladders for fuel tanks so even when it's inverted the engines aren't starved, and the fact that it has fuel injected engine!

[grandsea2]

In a right roll as soon as the aircraft is passed 95degs roll the pilot slowly pushes neg collective and right pedal as it crests and comes down the otherside gravity works and pos collective and nuetral pedals are resumed.

[grandsea2]

@MTTTrainer to add to what RomanovBuck stated The Apache and most military and rescue aircraft are capable of negitive pitch (the Collective stick controls the pitch of the blades on the main rotor head the foot pedals control tail rotorblade pitch) but it's not so they can preform barrel rolls and back flips that was unintended.

Amazing, that shit is sick...fucking AMAZING pilot

[littlechrisb]

How did he fit in that chopper with balls that big?

[MRDEADMAN626]

Haha awesome . wonder if you can do that of Battlefield 3 .



[Alex2149]

@MRDEADMAN626 you cant

[Alex2149]

Respond to this video...  but you can in BF2

[PRETENDERishe]

@MRDEADMAN626 IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IN Battlefield 3 :( But you can do it in bf1942 Desert Combat

[fourzero40]

This is the video camera people should use when capturing UFOs.

[gonzofetish]

@dillydean, I dont know but my guess is when upside-down the propellers change the angle so there is continuance in their flo going down to the ground? And ppl no need to call me a dumb ass, it's just my guess!!

[MrsDarkside926]

Somewhere off in the distance there is a Romeo crying.......

[dillydean]

i honestly didnt think helicopters could do these tricks cause of how they work, i thought they would just get thrown off balance? how come it works?

[ar0d422]

@dillydean apache helicopters have turbine engines too. so it gives it extra thrust. another reason its the best heli ever.

[Irano1995]

Zeker mooi :P

[kingmigget]

the backflip is at 4:14

[MTTTrainer]

What spacific component of the apache allows the helocopter to perform these tricks

vs a conventional helocopter of a similar design?

[RomanovBuck]

@MTTTrainer

Apaches (as well as most military Helicopters) have the ability to do what's called "null pitch" that is, make it so their rotors offer no lift at all. Some can actually reverse the collective slightly. (collective is the term for the control that alters rotor blade pitch) They get rotational momentum going, then null pitch the rotors and let the momentum of the aircraft rotate the entire vehicle through the maneuver.

[TheFootballplayer37]

kick ass

[dealerovski82]

Maybe DICE should take a look at this, and inplant it in BF3 again.

[RoboticCarcass]

@dealerovski82 It is going to be in BF3... It was the reason I looked at this video haha. My cousin was like "that's bullshit what kind of helicopter can flip and roll?"

[speedysam444]

DO A BARREL ROLL!

[Blue67impala]

@speedysam444 AHA i KNEW SOMEONE WOULD SAY THAT!!

[maverick14012]

@speedysam444 y does everybody say that

[muodypl2]

@maverick14012 kids begging for virtual attention, I guess.

[maverick14012]

@muodypl2 mayb but its funny

[thewarmachine97]

i call hacks 

[WirlWind494]

They trained this heli well.

Took me YEARS to get my dog to learn this tricks!

[zedoctor1]

he should done a barrel roll!

[michaelcurtis91]

@zedoctor1 was the first thing in the video

[TheAbelinc2]

nobody make an unfunny "do a barrel roll" joke

[xXEviLG3niUSXx]

nice bud

[DomMenaMan]

[schnappusBoesus]

cheater

[GjVj]

Fantastic.

Thank you. :)

We had an Apache fly in front of our artillery cannons at Ft. Polk, LA back in the early 90's. We we're doing live fire and actually had rounds being fired. As soon as it got in line with the guns, he jammed it straight up and I swear climbed at a 90 degree angle. He's lucky he didn't catch a shell.

[hacky33]

i saw this real live on the air shot the apache went up right in the air and that feld back like a brick it was amazing!!!

[H4vo556]

Nice ;]
