MD Helicopters MD 600N Approach

The MD 600N is an eight-place, light, single-turbine engine helicopter that provides high performance and increased capacity to give the customer greater versatility. All with dramatically low operating costs. It flies faster, hovers higher, and provides the agility and exceptional handling for which the MD 500 series is known.
With its advanced NOTAR (No Tail Rotor) anti-torque system, the MD 600N is a member of an exclusive class of the safest, quietest helicopters in the world.

The NOTAR (No Tail Rotor) system consists of an enclosed fan driven by the main transmission, a circulation control tail boom, vertical stabilizers and a direct-jet thruster at the and of the tail boom. Low pressure air is forced through two slots on the right side of the tail boom, causes the main rotor downwash to "hug" the contour of the boom, creating lateral lift (Coanda effect) that counteracts main rotor torque. Yaw or directional control is given by the direct-jet thruster and the vertical stabilizers.
With this system a coventional tail rotor becomes superfluous. The MD600N, the MD520N and the MD902 Explorer are provided with this system.

This Md 600 (RN-059), registration B-2118, was build in 2000 and operated by Guangdong General Aviation Company in China until it was purchased 2007 by FLY 4 LESS from Budapest in Hungary (reg. HA-FLY). Last operator was Sky Heli GbR in Germany (reg. D-HHWR) before it crashed December 28 2010 near Jena, Germany, after an engine failure caused by snow ingestion douring roof snow removal operations.

apparently, md 600s are complete crap.

500D's are the ones to have!

[MrDrumpy]

500D?! I hope you speak about the 500E or the newer 530F. The 500D is old. However, my opinion is that the MD600N is the best helicopter of his category. Technologically advanced systems and great performances. The problem is that he is quite new. The MD500 series have been very successfully. The 600, even if it originally comes from the 500 series, is a new generation of helicopter. He need some years to find his place in the market.

looks like a chopper smoking a cigar

[veteran1970]

from the 600n standpoint your getting six seats instead of 4 with the 500 series and no i have heard the tail torque on the notar is not that good but from a safety perspective excellent to have i would much rather have the 600 notar with the loveseat in the front you can get 8 for the 600 and 5 with 500

@MrDrumpy

NOTAR is not really that good..

[tomorbob]

do it in South Africa, the rate of money exchange makes it cheaper. Henley Air. Look it up on the web

[edcoondog]

do it man! good lukc finding student loans though. i wish i thought to do it right after high school and not 12 years later.

[dwarrren9]

Im thinking about being a helicopter pilot when i finish high school.

[socalposyden]

Right motokid032... cuz from watching this video, you know the wind conditions, what speed, what direction, souls/weight on board, and EVERY OTHER variable that contributes to blow-back (i.e. "walk"). So what if he "walks" a bit anyway? He obviously has the A/C under control. So shutup, and quite trying to "be the cool one" on YouTube. Moron.

uh... sorry... did you say the 530F was slow??? Not the one I remember flying around in!!!
