Experimental Cargo Heli

32.1k VenusLancer  11 days ago

This is a heli that im working, it dont uses gyros or heli parts, its just rotators and wings, the control system is based on changing the angle to pitch and roll, the yaw is controlled by the rpm diference between the rotors

i still making adjustements and is not its final form, maybe i change the rotors shape and blade count, also i want to make it fly stable with cargo

Flying tips:

the helicopter has a lot of power, but i recomend to not exceed the 60% of the colective pitch (max rpm) over 65% the helicopter becomes a little tricky to control. the max speed is around 200-210 knots, but the cruise is around 160-170 knots. with the maximun load (38000lbs) you can reach 130-150knots

the maximun weight that can lift and fly is 39000lbs, but is hard to manuever, i recomend to not exceed the 35000lbs of takeoff weight
