Why is NOTAR not more common, especially with military helicopters?
Heavy, complex, not power efficient.
love fat tails
>>65250699costs
>>65250730they are way quieter though
>>65250753For actual engineering reasons or because of patent jews?
>>65250757Attack helicopters don't need it. Scout helicopters are on their way out due to drone proliferation.
>>65250785what about rescue and spook ops?
>>65250801
>>65250828ok fair
>>65250766>muh jewzYeah you're not worth replying to.
>>65250766>>65250847>look up who owns the NOTAR patents>created and owned by McDonnel Douglas, which is now owned by Boeing>Current Boeing President and CEO: Kelly Ortberg
>>65250699Because if you need what it's offering, a fenestron does it just as or nearly as well with less drawbacks while being cheaper and supported by a company that isn't perpetually on the brink of insolvency.I don't like it either, I think it's neat and I want MD helicopter to be successful but the frogs have this one fair and square.
>>65250876Nah, swing and a miss, anon. He's from Iowa, likely a Mormon, or some other wacky neoprot cult.
>>65250847An antisemitic post is not any more or less worth engaging with than any other on a dying anime website, don't pretend your time is valuable
>>65250847Shut the fuck up, tourist scum.
>>65250847>imply we want hook nose to reply to us
>>65250847don't necessarily need to be jewish to show or act in accordance to jewish traitsBut good goy
>>65251012>Iowa>likely Mormonwat
>>65250699Military heli has to eat shrapnel. Drive shaft in the tail can take considerable of that in the fuselage and drive shaft before failing while a pressurized duct would be lower the main thrust and add new counter thrust every time something nicked a new hole.
>live in big village, usually calm>helicopter flies over, that's rare>another one few minutes later>and another one>wtf is going on>leave apartment and go outside to try and spot some more>woman stands next to teen girl who is bent over and hyperventilating>i look at them, lady looks back>says the girl had a panic attack from one of the helicopters flying over>i nod and walk away
>>65251695>the girl had a panic attack from seeing/hearing helicoptersgrimbut also: I've had a female co-worker get not a full blown panic attack but annoyingly scared and panicked from hearing a helicopter once.She wouldn't shut up about it for the rest of the day and the day after
>>65251362>wat Mennonite, whatever. Point is, he's not a jew, he's some sort of neoprot.
>>65251039>>65251064>>65251355>>65251119>>65251355Seethe more you rats.
>helicopter question OP>half the thread is arguing over kikesWhat the fuck happened to /k/ dude, this shit is so exhausting and boring
>>65254020this board is no longer a place where autismos with gun/vehicle/military fixations can shoot the shit with one another. it's just another place on the net turned into an eternal struggle session for mindbroken failed men and turdies who recently got internet access via affordable smartphone proliferation. it will not get better soon, and will become increasingly common.
>>65253929What's so scary about a helicopter
>>65250699They have less rudder authority + >>65250730
>>65254034I had this discussion with a mate the other day, we think the IQ of the internet peaked on day one when it was a couple of computer scientists talking to each other and has been decreasing ever since.
>>65254034You cannot overlook the botposting, that's a huge part of things.
>>65254020We have a real bad case of /pol/lution and mods not doing anything.
>muh joos stop this because it's too goodThen why doesn't the IDF use them?
>>65254146/pol/ *and* /int/, bringing distinct, and often enough overlapping, flavors of cancer. /pol/ brings in the failed men who think the jews are the reason they still work retail in their late 20s, /in/ brings in the room-temp shitskins and their typical third-world takes.
>>65254155why would the IDF use them when they can just send US soldiers anyway?Optimizations are not very important to shoot at kids throwing rocks.Nobody said they stop it because its too good, they just want to squeeze more money out of it, which makes it less common.
>>65254160>implying /pol/ is anti-jew/pol/ is kiked to the gills nowadays and ever since MAGA started sucking israels cock even harder than the average american politician
>>65254410god please just talk about helicopter tail rotors or go back to whatever hole you crawled out of
>>65251012>He's from Iowa, likely a Mormon
>>65254480>starts shitting up the thread because of some normal off-hand remark>"nooo please talk about the helicopter">proceeds to keep farting out off topic bullshit and whiningat least be more honest and don't act like you didn't get what you wanted you stupid fucking faggot
>>65254046>What's so scary about a helicopterI wouldn't know. Maybe it was just for attention.
>>65254055What is rudder authority?Responsiveness on turns?
>>65250699San Jose, CA police had one a few decades ago.$20 million in 1990 or whenever, but was worth it because quieter so would turn cops into super-heros able to sneak up on crooks with SWAT, etc, etc.They crashed it in about a month, killing the two cops. They had disabled the computer NOTAR shit and thought they were going to "seat of the pants" wing it, because they bad-ass like that.Other cops said they "seemed to be trying to avoid civilians" as they went down and "died like heroes".
>>65251695>>65253929Were they Central American by any chance? That's a common thing for kids who grew up during the Salvadorean civil war.
>>65254562How powerful yaw is, this matters when you are flying agressively or in high winds.
