Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Very cool. Similar configuration as auto giros that use center line thrust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. H. O' Sullivan Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 As a former OH-6 and OH-58D Kiowa driver, I really wanted to get a good look at the avionics. Too bad they're blurred out in the video. Fun looking bird, but the fuselage looks a bit slim for any serious commercial flight operations. I'm thinking the R&D for this bird is geared towards a military application. T.H. O'Sullivan Black Mesa Ranch New Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting bird though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
