Can we put a ban on things this ugly entering service?
Like what the fuck were they even thinking
What the fuck is this shit
>>29754531
What purpose does it even serve?
>>29754575
Judging by the bubble windows and reverse slope fuselage, I'd say ground observation stuff
Also what the fuck is up with the huge tube support for the back wheels.
It doesn't look like they do anything but be massive weight and drag.
>>29754575
it's a cargo heliopter, but it only works with externeal loads
>>29754531
That was a good find anon
>A K-MAX has been used for demolition work by having a wrecking ball as a slung load.
>>29754611
what the fuck kinda payload can it haul, being that small?
fucking lockmart.
is a blackhawk not good enough for you?
>>29754600
That tube is going sideways, not backwards. Looks like extendable landing gear to me.

Signicificant payload when un manned (which is why they are thinking about this thing
The manufacurers have been playing around with this thing unmanned since 1998
Having something like this at your fob for ferrying ammo, Doing observation etc would have been good if we were still in places like Kandahar.
>>29754639
Lockheed does not make it, dumbass.
You are talking shit about a helicopter you know nothing about.
Kill yourself, shitposter
>>29754531
I think it's cute
>>29754531
Id shoot at it even knowning it is one of ours
>>29754531
I think it has character.
Ugly things should be allowed to enter service, it's the boring things that should be discarded with.
>>29754746
this.
i dont know where all the hate is coming from.
>>29754531
I love it.
>>29754531
I worked next to a UPS warehouse and one of these flew in
Almost thought ayys had discovered rotary-wing
>>29754746
>*applebees.gif
>fucking idiots hating on K-Max
It's just one of the best, if not the best, heavy lift helicopters there is.
>>29754531
>Can we put a ban on things this ugly entering service?
We would have to disband the Marine Corps.
>>29755136
5000 lbs is heavy lift?
why not just build unmanned gliders & unmanned tow planes
K-Max the only helicopter you get flight checked on by someone outside.
Pic may be more familiar.
>>29756569
How many heads have been chopped off by the blades?
>>29756512
The ability to stop hover and reverse.
>>29756581
While you post a picture of a bigass flat runway which any glider could operate off of
while carrying many times the payload
>>29756578
People that cannot read.
>>29756603
You try reading when your head has been chopped off
>>29754531
It's beautiful
>>29756601
They're used for logging.
Try that with a glider.
>>29756512
>>29756601
If it looks stupid but it works
It isn't stupid
>caring more about looks than functionality.
This is how you lose wars, you woman
>>29754531
>k-max
So it's the C-Max of the sky? Looks the part for sure.
>>29756619
>logging in a place where you have to airlift logs out
We grow trees for a reason.
>>29756791
Burny things ?
They got that covered too.
>>29756601
GLIDERFAG HAS ARRIVED
