It's all about swashplates mixed in with cyclic and collective pitch mixing. :wink:

I bet that guy doesn't have time to scratch his nose when he's flying that thing. :laugh:

Fixed Wing Euphemism- <span style="font-style: italic">"Helicopters can't really fly....they're just so ugly, the Earth repels them."</span> :devilgrin:
 
I always say that helicopters beat the air into submission.
 
I'm with Dr. John. Durn'd things are brutally UN aerodynamic. Engineered specifically to crash and kill you.
 
I'll stick with the glider... a heli with no rotor is a phone booth falling from the sky :eeek:

But they are designed to fly without that spinning thing in the front; and they do it well.
 
But if you lose a wing it's just a badly drawn missle

If that were to happen, it might spoil my whole day.... I may crash, but I won't burn :nonod:
 
I like the CH-47, that big ugly bird.....flew my butt into my base in Afghanistan and later back to the plane home.
 
Only had one ChinHook ride, a cargo run. Plenty of HH-53 time tho. 40th ARRS Det 3. THAT was usually a ride. :shocked:

And the UH-1's. Seemed I couldn't get anyplace unless there was a UH-1 somewhere in the mix.
