SkyFlightCare MD-902 Explorer

Rotorfest 2008
Brandywine Airport
West Chester, Pennsylvania
Sunday October 12, 2008

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as SkyFlightCare's rather new MD-902 is put through its paces in a makeshift demonstration following a return from a medical emergency.

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

Is it RC heli?

[NickPayne6]

is this a rc model?

[DarnationDude]

the thing i like best about this chopper is that there's no tail rotor

[motokid032]

The Notar actually hovers better OGE while it's the opposite with other helis.

@IonoTheFanatics OMG, i thought that it was a new technology.

I seen a demo of this type of chopper in Queenstown NZ back in 93 and for years people would look at me funny when I told them about the helicopter with no tail rotor, so they've been around awhile. NOTAR.

[IonoTheFanatics]

@lilo689 it's a NOTAR helicopter.. it doesn't have a tail rotor...

instead it uses a special fan inside the tail boom, you can't really use the turbine exhaust because that means the anti torque from the tail boom would depend on the main engine output.

[lilo689]

I think a porcentage of the blast from the turbines are conducted to the tail and exits through the hole we can see in the tail at 0:57

[lilo689]

Brilliant, beauty way to hide a tail rotor. I think it still has one, but it works differently.
