Has anyone here ever exceeded VNE in UH-1H, in level flight below 500m ASL? That would result in retreating blade stall, which may lead to mast bump, which may lead to crash. I am unable to get UH-1H to go faster then 120 knots IAS, in level flight.

perhaps try flying downwind in mission editor with 50 m/s winds?

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

I've gotten the airframe to a terminal velocity of around 217knots while diving straight down from 30,000ft

 

In level flight below 1640ft however, I've gotten it up to 140 knots.

I don't Vne can be exceeded in level flight by any airplane or helicopter, short of extremely gusty winds as was mentioned by FlaminSquirrel. If it can, that's a pretty bad design.

 

There are plenty of planes that can exceed Vne in level flight. If you want decent power at high altitude you'll have more than enough at sea level.

I have exceeded the VNE and flown the Huey at 140 knots a few times (not in level flight, but in a slight descend). It does feel weird and I think it will damage the heli, but those were emergency situations (during the campaign).

 

Normally I keep it below 110, more like 90-100 knots, which is the speed at which it feels best.

No one should be able to do this without going over EGT limits and even then I don't think it will go that fast in level flight.
