MY FIRST HELICOPTER
the description i found
In the 1980s, the concept of ‘Stealth’ was mysterious, cutting-edge and sexy. This appeal was harnessed to sell films and toys; one example of the latter was Testors’ LHX Stingbat, a notional stealthy ‘Light Combat Helicopter’. We asked Ron Smith, former Head of Future projects at Westland Helicopters how it would have fared in real life.
“Interestingly. I was looking at real Stealth Helicopter projects from early 1982 in my role as Westland Helicopters Head of Future Projects. I remember showing an image of WG44 at a defence conference, which took place shortly after the sinking of ‘Atlantic Conveyor’.

Alright I have this creation for a while now and I found some issues such as weak and wobbly piston which cause the helicopter to explode even on a slow decent it will still explode(I tried to fix it by remove the skids with wheeled landing gear but that caused the helicopter to slowly turning to the right when the rotor still spinning and stoped when the rotor stop does anyone know how to fix this?)
Ah ok, thanks for explaining @spefyjerbf
@MinWiii The internal fan connects to the vents on the end of the tail, which provide the needed counter-torque. Unfortunately the main rotor cannot provide a counter torque, unless if a contra-rotating rotor is added.
Oh ok, I thought maybe like the main rotor also controlled yaw and stuff? But an internal fan makes sense @spefyjerbf
@MinWiii NOTAR systems still require a tail to house an internal fan.
Based on the vent on the end of the tail, yes, it would have a NOTAR system. Though I am unsure if the aerodynamics of this heli’s tail would allow for such a design choice. Based on the reading that you linked, such a system produces lift that counters the torque of the helicopter, using something called a boundary layer. I honestly do not know too much about boundary layers, but I do know that they need to form over a surface that does not have any jarring edges, which may be present on the tail here. Still, a very nice build!
Also tagging @ThomasRoderick bc he said something about NOTAR a few hours ago
If you aren’t gonna add a tail rotor, why even have a tail?!?
How is this ur first?
very hard to control but looks cool
wow, this heli has no tail rotor
Who ever design this probably forget the tail rotor. And when they realized they just went "Screw it"
Thank you! god I've been waiting for someone to create it!!! It's such a good helicopter
Me: where is the tail rotor?
McDonald’s worker: tail rotor machine 🅱️roke
Me: understandable have a nice day
