GunnyCook Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Tried so hard to snap the blades off..... couldnt do it. one only has to say boo to the KA and the blades are off, rolls, loops high speed turns, would almost say invincible was on or something.... but alas, i could crash Win10 64, GeForce GTX1080 Ti, Rift touch, i5- 2.90GHz(o/c), 16gb Corsair Vengance RAM, X-56 KA-50-3, AH-64D, A10c II, AV-8B, MI-8, Spitfire, Viggen, FC3, F-14, F-15c,FA-18, S/Carrier, CA, Nevada, Normandy 44, Channel, Persian gulf, Marianas, Syria, Sth Atlantic, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing it to the KA-50 is not a good example, the coaxial rotor has limits if exceeded can cause rotor merges. thanks 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Jester2138 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 If you think it's unrealistic, check this out: Good luck doing a lot of that in a coaxial helicopter like the KA-50/52! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnyCook Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 yeah, i have since see a couple of vids, and them there are some strong blades Win10 64, GeForce GTX1080 Ti, Rift touch, i5- 2.90GHz(o/c), 16gb Corsair Vengance RAM, X-56 KA-50-3, AH-64D, A10c II, AV-8B, MI-8, Spitfire, Viggen, FC3, F-14, F-15c,FA-18, S/Carrier, CA, Nevada, Normandy 44, Channel, Persian gulf, Marianas, Syria, Sth Atlantic, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted March 28, 2022 ED Team Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) The blades themselves gain their rigidity from the centrifugal force from the high speed rotation. However, what gives the Apache the ability to perform such aggressive aerobatics in a 9 ton helicopter is it's static mast and rotor head design. The main rotor shaft turns inside the outer static mast. The main rotor shaft mainly handles torsion loads, whereas the static mast handles all the structural loads from maneuvers and G forces. Edited March 28, 2022 by Raptor9 2 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man. DCS Rotor-Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
