the physical mechanics that allow a helicopter to fly and the idea that any disruption to the delicate balance of torque can cause it to fall out of the sky is terrifying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_nut

If you really want to appreciate how insane helicopters are, play DCS Black Shark. Pull up too hard through a turn or coming out of a dive and you'll rip your rotor blades off (because it's that weird Russian chopper with dual main blades) when they become best friends and touch. Or how if you descend too fast you'll lose lift and drop like a rock even if you try to apply more rotor torque. Helicopters don't want you to live.

I was absolutely terrified everytime in one. I remember a 53 we were with tandem blew an engine mid flight and did a hasty landing and bounced off the ground a couple times and spun around a bit. I don't know if they were just making poo poo up when they said it rotated so much on its axis they were around 10 degrees from the point of no return or some poo poo

Harry Reasoner posted:The thing is, helicopters are different from airplanes. An airplane by its nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or incompetent piloting, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying, immediately and disastrously.

I've always thought the best "Stolen Valor" litmus test would be asking a dude claiming to be MARSOC/SEAL/etc would be "How do you feel about CH46s?" Because the amount of/lack of hatred and disgust in the person's voice would be an immediate tell

Bonus: The description of that video is uniformly wrong. It wasn't a ground-resonance test. That helicopter was tied down for weapons-effects testing (They were gonna shoot it a bunch) because it was no longer flyable, but because they'd removed the gear and chained it directly to the ground, the oleos weren't there to damp out the resonance and it shook itself to pieces before they could shoot it to pieces. Why wasn't it flyable? There was a controls system malfuction while transiting between one Army facility and another, and the aircraft actually did a complete roll before the pilot managed to get things mostly back under control at 1500AGL (I think, fairly low in any event). This was a definite over-stress of the airframe and they decided to offer it up to the 23mm gods at Aberdeen. Then that happened, instead. Booblord Zagats posted:When a routine fire test goes horribly wrong This happened at a hangar we test of just a month or so ago, foam up to the engines on the -47s. No idea if the contractor ever figured out what set the system off, it wasn't a test, it just discharged without warning. Edit: Found the details https://books.google.com/books?id=i...4-24156&f=false quote:At about 16:58, it was flying near Tulia at 4,450ft AMSL (1,100ft AGL) at 140kt, when the nose pitched down and yawed left. The pilot applied aft right cyclic and right pedal but the nose-low attitude increased and left yaw continued even with a full right pedal application. The aircraft then entered a left roll, smoothly for 90 degrees but 'snap roll' to the remaining 270 degrees. It lost about 850ft altitude in the full left roll, after which is returned to upright in a right yaw of about 90 degrees. The crew initiated and completed a precautionary landing to an open field, touching down with out 32ft ground roll, and shut down the engines. The aft main rotor blades then struck the fuselage as they coasted down. The cost of repairing the damage, including replacing the entire power train, was put at $11.6 million. A shitload of water in the hydraulic fluid in the upper boost actuators, metal in the hydraulic fluid, and corrosion in the pitch and roll actuators were all implicated.
