Raven_Morpheus Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Hey all Bit of a dumb question but can anyone explain to me, in relatively simple terms, why the Mi-8 rotates in the opposite direction to the Huey? I'm guessing it's because the rotors rotate the opposite way, but I haven't checked, is that right? TIA
Art-J Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Yes it is. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
vu733gt Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 American and Europe counter-clockwise, Russian clockwise. With some exceptions.
AlphaOneSix Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Who in Europe does counter-clockwise? All the ones I've worked on were clockwise. Maybe older?
grabby Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 All the old french helicopter are clockwise but all agusta and eurocopter are counterclockwise
AlphaOneSix Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Europe is very confused. Some Eurocopter go clockwise, some counter-clockwise. I worked on Pumas for a while and they were clockwise. At least the U.S. is all CCW and Russia is all CW.
EagleFox Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 French and Russian are clockwise others are counter-clockwise
Devrim Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 After reading this thread, my eyes are reading clockwise, but my brain now understands counter-clockwise... :\ Intel i7-14700@5.6GHz | MSI RTX4080 SuperSuprimX | Corsair V. 64GB@6400MHz. | Samsung 1TB 990 PRO SSD (Win10Homex64) Samsung G5 32" + Samsung 18" + 2x8"TFT Displays | TM Warthog Stick w/AVA Base | VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle | TM MFD Cougars | Logitech G13, G230, G510, PZ55 & Farming Sim Panel | TIR5 & M.Quest3 VR >>MY MODS<< | Discord: Devrim#1068
Tucano_uy Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 And then you have the Ka-50, undecided, does it both clockwise and anticlockwise...
EagleFox Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 You can't count the eurocopter ias a french. Its same like eurofighter made between Germany, France, UK and Spain.
grabby Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) You can't count the eurocopter ias a french. Its same like eurofighter made between Germany, France, UK and Spain. they now are airbus helicopter, so the're french.... Edited December 29, 2015 by grabby
