Sturgeon Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 New Russian high-speed helicopter design mockup. Similar technology to the Sikorsky Raider perhaps? Rotors are close together? Either it's the product of an overzealous industrial designer (coincidence that, since we were just talking about the Tavor over at TFB), or it has to be. I don't think you can have coax rotors that close together without a set of silicon brains controlling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 F-22 in E-stonia. Note rivets, plane don't have anti-radar/radar absorbing paint/material. That's normal: And they're screws, not rivets. They're exposed so the access panels can be removed for maintenance of whatever avionics live underneath there. F-22 is not, AIUI, completely covered in radar-absorbing material. They did that on the F-117, and it was a PITA to maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khand-e Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 It is NOT a Hind! It is Krokodil! So it's a helicopter that, due to massive amounts of impurities from it's clandestine manufacture causes severe skin necrosis in it's crewman?

Collimatrix Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 What is the purpose of the leading edge wing notches in 18-19, I wonder? 8 looks like they were really worried about trim drag problems with swinging the wings.
