mvsgas Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 It is there, you just can't see it (stealthy :D) 1 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Pilotasso Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I love that rotor design as well as those chppers for some reson. The MD500 as well. .

People who value their heads love it either :D TBH though I don't see how 135 would be any more "silent" than a Mi-8. I have both flying near and over my workplace all the time and the 135's sound is annoying compared to the pleasant chop-chop+bell sound of 8. I know the noise levels analysis says otherwise but I would rate them as 135 being twice as annoying compared to 8. Check this out! (compare rotor head complexity) When I first saw 135 from up close I thought "Is it a mockup of main rotor on that thing I'm seeing?" ;) F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
sobek Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I always wondered what the inlet above the engine is. Is it some sort of oil cooler inlet? Edited January 12, 2012 by sobek Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
AlphaOneSix Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I always wondered what the inlet above the engine is. Is it some sort oil cooler inlet? Yep, oil cooler inlet!
sobek Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Yep, oil cooler inlet! Mind pointing me at the exhaust ports as well? :) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!

Mikoyan89 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Now the first italian prototype rests in this same airport, in bad conditions, it doesn't seem a typhoon anymore, it seems like she had 40-50 years of service.... YouTube Blog

AlphaOneSix Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 If you mean the exhausts for the oil cooler fan, then they are the top and behind the oil cooler inlet, just in front of the opening for the rotor system (for Mi-8, anyway, not sure if it's the same for Mi-24, will have to look at some pics).

AlphaOneSix Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I just took a picture myself. ;) I'm standing right in front of the oil cooler inlet, looking aft, in the attached photo. The two grated exhausts in front of the rotor opening are for the oil coolers. 2

AlphaOneSix Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Nope! The pic above is from an Mi-8MTV-1. I'm a mechanic. 1
Bucic Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Nope! The pic above is from an Mi-8MTV-1. I'm a mechanic. Awesome! I'd prefer that rather than engineering but mechanics' salary is pretty modest in Poland in the long run.

mikoyan Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 That is right the mil-8 sounds great! Specially in a low flying pass. The uh-60 is also cool but it has a more modern and electrical feel... lol it is not music what we are talking about.
mig29movt Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Does anyone knows what the gray "things" on top of the main rotor are? Some of the newer Mil Mi-8 have it.

AlphaOneSix Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Vibration damper for dampening out 16Hz (5:1) vibrations from the rotor system. Makes flights a little smoother for crew and passengers. EDIT: I took a picture of the vibration damper a while back, just found it. It's called a "bifilar" damper, since it uses a weight balanced on two "filaments" or pins. It's the exact same thing the Black Hawk uses, but the Black Hawk doesn't use covers over the weights like the Mi-8's do. Edited January 14, 2012 by AlphaOneSix 1
