  1. From the looks of this photograph, although not as close up, the exterior doesn't look all that different. BTW, these are the airmen that gave a ride to a wounded soldier. There's a FLIR video of the actual rescue.
  2. On the left of the HUD panels, what's censored ?
  3. I did some searching around and stumbled on a couple of very interesting close-up pictures of the actual aircraft. I figured that if I didn't know of the existence of these images, perhaps a few others didn't either. So, at the risk of being old news, here's the link: http://walkarounds.airforce.ru/avia/rus/kamov/ka-50/index.htm
  4. Here are two questions I've been throwing around in my brain over the months of regular visits to this forum. 1. Since there is no anti-torque rotor (tail rotor) to over- or under-compensate the main rotor torque (should there be just one), what mechanical effect does the anti-torque pedals have on a coaxial rotor machine? I've done some searches on this but most books and web sites only explain up to the MD 500 NOTAR system. Anything "fancier" is ignored. And while in the same subject, how does a tandem rotor helicopter varies torque ? 2. Since we will operate the aircraft with USB controllers, we will have infinite amounts of force to apply on the (virtual) cyclic stick. So how can you simulate a complete hydraulic system failure ? What I mean is that flying an actual helicopter without "power steering" can be hard on your arms. Thanks.
