Am I kawaii, Huey-kun?

Yes Kouhai, yes...
We have had girls are guns, girls wearing fighter planes, girls in tanks, and boat sluts.
When do we get girls and helicopters?

Why don't all these attack helicopters have fold down seats with seatbelts for emergency transport of people?
>>28057533
Are they making new production Cobras
>>28058073
Dunno.

Oh my.
>>28058297
the wings rotate too. So they are at optimal angle for current flight condition. being straight up for hover or flat for fast flight.
4 blades instead of 3, per rotor.
larger blades
more powerful engines
longer
has a second cockpit. that drops down allowing a pilot to fly the helicopter while facing backwards and looking at the ground.
>>28058073
Yes, although they're called Vipers now. Some new, some upgraded.
>>28058325
>4 blades per rotor
Wut?
>>28058264
What is this called? Like when they take an aircraft or a helicopter and lay all of its possible loadouts in front of it
I've seen things like this so many times I'm assuming there's a slang word or jargon for this sort of photo shoot
>>28057947
In Vietnam some AH-1 crews put belts inside the ammo doors for extracting downed pilots.

>>28057947
you can sit on the wing or wheel and ride the helicopter to safety.
usually something only done by operators.
though if you are in an apache battalions and at NTC. you can get to do it if the pilots need to train on it. It is fucking terrifying. even if you are firmly strapped to the bird.
![chinook_main_page_photo[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/3jpsDTF.jpg "chinook_main_page_photo[1].jpg")
>>28058361
normal chinooks have 3 blades per rotor.
this prototype one off has 4.
>>28058527
that looks incredibly fucking dangerous.
>>28058594
EEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WHAT i CAN'T HEAR YOU!?
It is. Which is why it isn't done unless no other options. Better to sit on the wheels. You have less seat but more to grab.
>>28058527
>>28058405
Thats what I mean, It's going to be done semi-regularly, costs nothing to just add a seat belt/handholds/seat on the outer hull.
>>28058594
If you were strapped in, then it wouldn't be dangerous at all. Except maybe getting hit by a bird or w/e, but this is for emergencies so you accept that risk.
>>28058639
it costs nothing to unofficially add some belts... if they did it officially they'd need a couple senate committies, some studies, manufacturer proposals and before you know it... it'd cost a goldmine and they have a new version with a million other changes that sucked...
in theory being strapped in would be safe.. however I'd be willing to bet it severely limits how fast and high you can go with the chopper... wind chill and freezing seem like they'd be a problem...
>>28058694
It's not about turning apaches into passenger aircraft lol
Its about, they easily could carry 10-12 people, in a pinch, if there were little fold down benches with seat belts.
>>28058694
Only the Chinook can fly high and fast enough for that to be a concern.
Apaches when loaded with weapons, are slow shits that can not get that high.
If you put 16 hellfire missiles on an apache. It can barely make it to 90 mph.

Sikorsky made "America's Hind". It had large wings, an attack helcopter profile, and a small passenger compartment.
![WMosA[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/b4WaLuK.jpg "WMosA[1].jpg")
>>28058737
The Russian Mi-28 has a small compartment. One man or two slavs can fit inside.
>>28058795
I can't believe I never knew the Mi-28 has a passenger compartment
>>28058815
I'm just wondering why they didn't just add more fuel. Another 200-400 pounds of fuel isn't anything to sneeze at.
>>28058815
It's very, very rarely used. On actual operations it's intended to allow a Havoc to land and safely recover/extract the crew from another downed Havoc. Extremely cramped and noisy and uncomfortable, I doubt it even has seats. Just a slightly improved version of guys hanging off the side of an Apache.
>>28058737
right, and if you think the government can do that in a streamlined efficient manner then good fucking luck...
>>28058745
go get in the bed of a pickup and stand up while your friend does 90 down an empty stretch of highway.. try it in winter...
you might be surprised...
didn't they have to put shields on the stretchers that they used for helicopter medivac? pretty sure a sioux is slower and shittier than a freaking apache...
>>28058821
you can always fill it with gas cans...
>>28058850
>Sergi, get out and refuel.
Nyet, Ivan I do not want to.

>>28058840
I think that had more to do with rotor wash

What slav shit beltfed GMG is in the nose?
>>28058901
and the heavier more powerful apache wouldn't have worse rotor wash?
besides it does look shielded towards the top of the head and they've strapped down the blanked to not leave any exposed skin...
Apache guy here, it has nothing to do with armament load or rotor wash.
This is my favourite
>>28059152
It's even better when you consider the fact that the pilot and co-pilot will have M4s holstered in the cabin. Who needs Hydras?
>>28058951
Iran in a nutshell:
>We're totally dangerous guys! We swear!
>Just look how nifty this thing looks!
>>28059175
>Gun run spraying M4s wildly with the doors off
That's one dangerous flying potato
>>28059220
>14 S-5 rockets taking up the only two hardpoints on the airframe
>PKT in a fixed traverse mount
>zero sensors of any kind
>no crew carrying capabilities
>zero flare/chaff dispensers
>zero electronic counter-measures of any kind
That's tech the western world had in the 50s.
Remember someone posted a video of a few Kiowas training. They spotted a couple fucking in their open top convertible and the mission apparently instantly changed to "record it without being noticed".
Every time I hear about Kiowa pilots it's always that they're hilariously crazy.
>>28059339
Reading that hilarity has made my day.
Think I found it lol. This is one of my favorite thermal vids ever.

My fucking sides.
SEAKING FUCK YEAH!

God, 2-6 laugh is what got me
Fucking hilarious

British Special Air Service Air Support Helicopter. Using civilian marking to avoid detection.
SSUUPPPPAAAAAAAA HIND!!!!
Does the UH-60 DAP a real thing or just a prototype?
>>28060725
No battlehawk? Come on man, you're not even trying
>>28060768
U fukn wot m9
>>28060939
They were in service in Iraq
>>28060939
That pic was probably taken in the 90's, just for perspective.
Pic related is a hell of a lot more recent.
I've seen everything from DAPs to AC130s and B1s flying on missions in the Stan.
>>28058795
If you threw a Kiowa pilot in there, he'd be shooting from the little door thing.
>>28059429
>we have activity out here
>we'll be there in a second
Fucking lost it
>>28063645
This helicopter made in Britain or Korea?
>>28057500
Is there a term for these kinds of pictures? With the weapons just lying on the ground in front of the plane/chopper/whatever
>>28066637
Probably like most western gear, it is probably appropriated and copied legally just like the Arleigh Burkes
