cool but what if you don"t have available so much runway?? do you really need all that forward speed
-
@offamychain Dude I can do all that with the shrooms alone;)
-
P.S. Sounds kinda logical however, kinda, a little bit.
-
@CorpusGigantus Uummm .... don't give me ideas. 13+ years in the type of U.S. Army units which 90% of people avoid like the plague, even people like me who have the misfortune of possessing a severe Type A Compulsive personality .... ideas can be dangerous. :) :)
I am a pilot however .... was. Disabled Vet now. But only Blackhawks. Never a Huey. Never desired to learn, or even try. One single joy-ride in the back was plenty enough to sk-sk-skeer me shirtless of the Egg-Beaters.

@offamychain I know this sounds silly, but it's close to being possible in a Huey. According to Robert Mason in "Chicken Hawk", the inertia in the huge rotor blades is such that you can spin the rotor to normal operating velocity, shut down the engine, lift off, do a 360 pedal turn and set it down again...

MAX Gross takeoff wt.!!?? YIKES!!
-
Wow! In such a big machine too...
-
@dmo224 Well that might as well be just as good as hitting the chop button. I can't believe such a big helicopter can auto rotate so well. A testament to the engineers, techs and pilots.
-
@discofishing No the engines were powered down to idle the whole time. As the airspeed drops near the end of the flare so does the rotor RPM; goodbye lift, hello ground!
-
Did they chop the engines at the end of the flare?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all cool & everything to watch, but if you want to impress me, do an autorotation LIFT-OFF. I'm one of the few pilots in the world who can do that, perhaps the ONLY one. It involves 72 bottles compressed air, four 12-gauge shotguns, a 50-foot waterhose, 138 rubber bands (or 11 bungee cords), 3 Black Cat-brand artillery shell fireworks, & an ounce of mushrooms.
