Bastard Son of a Black Shart and an Apache

Hello.
I don't know why, but I'm getting fascinated by Helicopters. So for that reason, I've built a fictional helicopter.


[ Rh-44 on the deck of a Destroyer ]

It's going well so far. I'm kind of stuck right now, but once I have time and motivation, I'll continue it.
Decided to name it 'Rh-44 "Hollow"', because it sounds cool.


[ Rh-44 firing its main cannon ]

I'll try to finish it by the end of January, and no, I won't make it super complicated. In fact, it's quite simple right now. It's at 427 parts, and 2073 performance cost, which is low in my book.


[ An Rh-44 firing off a Hellfire Romeo ]

For the features it has right now, it has a simple startup procedure, a selective jettison, a camera aiming main cannon (still needs a name, if you can help, I'd really appreciate it), a customized HUD (thanks to GuyFolk and PlanariaLab for the base HUD, I'm essentially just modifying a modified HUD), a measurement changer, and a target tracking camera.


[ Deploying flares ]

In terms of how it flies, it flies quite well, without gyroscope. It's stable, albeit the counterotation is a bit weak. I honestly wanted to be able to adjust the Rotor RPM according to throttle, but if I turned off the Throttle Governor, I would need to make my own Throttle Governor, and it would be a pain in the ass. Maybe I'll try, maybe I won't.


[ A Hollow Night ]

If any of you asked why I chose this design, I've actually been quite fascinated by the design of contra-rotating propellors. It started off as me watching a DCS video about the Black Shark 3. After looking at someone's helicopter build, I decided: "Why not make one myself?". So I did. Without blueprints, a complete imagination. I originally wanted it to look like a hybrid of the AH-64 and Ka-50, but I gave up on it because it's design is dominated by the inspiration of the Ka-50. It worked out anyway.

Oh yeah, did I mention it's a single seat? Yeah. It is.


[ Heads Up Display ]

Here's the HUD if anyone is interested in it.


That's all I have in store for now, either see ya next teaser or when I publish this, bai!
