Ebodee Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 a minimum required rotor surface area before the helo plummets out of the sky like a brick. Things get a bit vibration-full but the helo can perform an autorotation to the surface from an altitude of about 3km with exactly half the surface area of each rotor. Results in a nasty situation at blade separation from engine overspeed to a host of other problems but it is possible. :doh: Maybe paying attention to overspeed, rotor RPM dropping below minimum, and high engine RPM tickling the governors just to climb above clouds and see the sights is prob not a good idea. But thank you ED for such a great and fun product. The damage modeling is primo form the days of Su-25T and I am just having too much fun!
Panzertard Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 So I guess you had your first blade separation? There's only one first time ... :D The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
