...take care you my not remember from where you left or more importantly which way is the House...then again...who Cares...were Airborne !.... : )....A.C.Feuerhelm
while the invention of helicopters they were two people chalenging for but the worst idea won and now we have stupid dangerous copters this is the way to do it's the most simple way only two commands whitch make it so simple that anybody could pilot it after one hour learning ! wonderfull
It wouldn't need a chute if the top blade could idle spin if the engines stalled. Or even both blades, but the gearing that makes then counter rotate might make them to hard to spin idle if you also had to spin the gears idle, but if the top blade could spin idle you will have auto gyro and that is essentially a built in parachute. Choppers have a switch to engage auto gyro so if you know your out of fuel you flip a switch and land. Gyro planes rule.
Unfortunately, power failure close to the ground (even with ballistic parachute) = not good. While removing the collective from the equation substantially simplification things, it also excludes the possibility of auto-rotation (and safety). It would be neat to see a variant with collective pitch.
Infinitely more complexity involved that would negate the innate simplicity of the design, plus the nature of the emergency chute is ballistic, it'll open in just e few vertical meters.
I'm really glad to here you are attempting to add a pop chute. This could be the start of another Model T Ford... where the common man can afford to fly and sales sweep the country. You Mr. Inventor, are a genius ! May God Bless you ... and keep your invention out of the hands of the auto manufactures.
Well that's a small piece of simple genius and no mistake. With a bit of automation it could make a personal escape pod from skyscrapers or a short range taxi ("vertical personal lift"...)
James May is a truly outstanding presenter, with his 'tongue-in-cheek' humor ("Time to head for Japan" - wonderful!) and dry British reserve, he has the perfect balance between seriousness and major sarcastic comedy. I would LOVE to see HIM fly this thing. Nothing personal James! (better get the parachute sussed first though - an EXCELLENT idea!)
America did have something kind of like this in the mid 1950's, it was called the de Lackner HZ-1 Aerocycle, though it was only a few prototypes and the project sadly didn't go anywhere. Good to see our good friends in Japan have some interest in personal helicopters though. :)
You know that the pilot doesn't actually bail out. The parachute is attached at the top of the copter to bring both the copter and the pilot down together. This safety system is currently employed on a lot of light aircraft: a parachute for the whole plane.
Death Trap. It needs pitch control so that it can autorotate if it looses power. Helicopters have this basic feature for safety. I am surprised that with your flying background, James, you did not point this out. Instead, you marveled at the simplicity of the design. A parachute needs hundreds of feet to deploy and is no substitute.
I totally agree with you. It goes hand in hand with an invention caused by the helicopter, the Rotary Engine. Mazda decided to arm their "RX" line of cars with such an engine. Pistons work fine, but Mazda created it just to "Think outside the box." They're not the most reliable, and have a lot of oil issues. But the payout is enormous. a 1.3 turbocharged can chuck out nearly 300 horsepower, while maintaining efficiency and sounding amazing. "Just because we can."
"Need to be very smart, quite unhinged, and quite possibly a bit suicidal ... JAPAN!" Yet another iconic James May line. Do have to wonder about this contraption, how is yaw controlled? Pitch and roll (front-back and side-side motion) is by weight-shift, but how would it rotate? Would need some means of changing torque on each rotor, but it doesn't seem to have that capability given the fixed-pitch blades and as far as we can tell no differential mechanism of any sort. Seems like it is just stuck facing whichever direction it happens to be facing, which really limits the practical potential of it.
This is not a NOTAR. A NOTAR uses a turbine driven fan and direction jet to counteract the rotational torque of the main rotor instead of a tail rotor. This uses counter-rotating Main rotors to neutralize the torque.
Helicopters don't "beat" anything into submission. The same laws that give lift to an airplane wing, give lift to a helicopter rotor. I'm 59. Been flying rotorcraft and fixed wing since I was 19 ( via the U.S. Army). Nothing scary about helicopters unless you're "low or slow".
Simplest rc helicopters are made like this thing and they can turn around by having the two blades of the rotor spinning at different speeds, but i don't know if this one can
thanks for caring for very slow internet connection. I'd like you to post some 12p resolution videos... to enjoy fluent low, very low resolution videos. I'd appreciate so.
This is great, how realy smart people always work and their vision can see things that others can not. wish to be in one of them flying around with no fear of crashing ????
It looks like a very cool way of getting around... and probably very cheap too! Obviously has some issues that need to be worked out though. How does this thing yaw? Buttons on either side of the handles?
James I quite agree with your bug-smasher description of a helicopter's approach to flight. You left out the part about every chopper pilot making a pact with the devil to keep it in the air, though. Nicked an idea from Kamov, have they?
I like this, take off from home and land at work, or vise versa...lol I would want a guide on the edge just to make sure I don't chop the bits of a tall person off or if I got to close to a building...lol
"There's always been something I haven't really liked about helicopters. I think what it is, is that they seem to beat the laws of physics into submission instead of just collaborating with them and flying naturally like a proper airplane does. Helicopters make such a meal out of flying."
There are four engines and the manufacturer claims it can fly with only three (if load maximums are not exceeded). However, since the blades are fixed I suspect that the only method of controlling vertical speed is with the throttle. This scheme seems very dicey at first glance to me.
Uh, obviously 51 people did. Maybe because it's a memorable quote, and because I mentioned it people will pay more attention to it? But I'm just pointing out the obvious.
How does it turn? If it is facing North and the pilot wants it to face West, either the pitch on the rotors has to be individually varied (to create different clockwise and anticlockwise drag), or the speed of the rotors has to be independently variable. Looking at the rotor head, I can't see any possibility of changing the pitch. Also - does it autorotate if power fails?
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEN_H-4: "Yawing motion is produced and controlled by electronic gyroscopically-controlled differential electric braking of the main rotors"
If the pilot is a "lunatic" then that must make all pilots of small aircraft lunatics. According to James May who flys a cessna of his own. Making himself a lunatic.
A proper airplane is really a powered glider. See Israel's Urban X Hawk. A flying car with the prop blades inside the frame. The car can hover next to a burning building and deploy a ramp for people to climb on. Or it can jump over a traffic jam to perform emergency operations.
Is it possible to make atleast the counter blade free spin when power is lost so that you somewhat crash in a more controled and less violent way. Much like a gyroscope?
This is some of the most close thing you can get of a *'flying car'* now. But it should be as a hobby tool or a vehicle at a project area, not a privat *'car*'. To many crashes.
I heard a better description of the helicopter than James Mays. That is "3000 moving parts flying information all looking for a way out!" Though I have to admit it looks like it would be fun until you started looking down while you are flying.

Every program including James in it, is a blockbuster and damn interesting!
I like James May's humor the best out of all the Top-Gear guys. :0)
EvenStar LoveAnanda I prefer dry humor as well. If something is funny, it doesn't need all the theatrics :P
There are more people liking humor. Hasn't May been on television some times? Rumour has, he was often showing up a bit late.

the solution: fly higher!
That's just what makes them that much more amazing though. It takes true genius to make something so out-of-the-box actually work.
it's just genius!
Beat the laws of physics into submission! So true, I laughed so hard!

He is a chicken shit coward. He is a tea drinking sissy.
I am glad to see this idea is till feasible my grandfather started on a similar concept in the 1950's with the Helivector.
I can't possibly see what could go wrong.............safe enough for a small child.
1:24 "strapon chopper"
Hah! There's an old saying among fixed-wing pilots: "If God had meant there to be helicopters, He would have given birds rotary wings!"
awesome!! now i know exactly what to do with the old whipper snippers in my garage!!

Check some airshows on very light aircraft. This is an antique video, developments have developed since. There are some other planes like this today.
"time to head to Japan" LMAO
hehe Billy May, a pitchmen for products, James May, a pitchmen for ideas! :D
You don't jump out of the plane. The parachute is for the whole copter. Both pilot and copter are gently lowered to the ground.
You know that the pilot doesn't actually bail out. The parachute is attached at the top of the copter to bring both the copter and the pilot down together. This safety system is currently employed on a lot of light aircraft: a parachute for the whole plane.

Hahaha my teacher flies a plane and she says that helicopters beat the air into submission too XD
omg two counter rotating blades, that is an AMAZING discovery... too bad RC helicopters used that ages ago lol
this is a prototype mini helicopter...a small cessna is another thing entirely. you can actually glide if you lose power

I read the title as "James May's Bad Ideas"
Wou great nice kreatif buat helicopter sir wou nice!!
Counter rotating blades also increase efficiently, as well as, unfortunately, noise output, by generating turbulence.
Very impressive. Can't wait for improve model.
That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Why isn't this the next big invention? Are big name helicopter companies telling him that he's crazy?
This is not a NOTAR. A NOTAR uses a turbine driven fan and direction jet to counteract the rotational torque of the main rotor instead of a tail rotor. This uses counter-rotating Main rotors to neutralize the torque.
strap-on chopper! lol
It's been over 10 years James May. Why isn't there one in my garage?
this is awsum!

Nice! You'll never have to worry about mast bumping again!
ME WANTEE NOWWW!!!
"a bit suicidal" = japan lol
It's said by fixed-wing types that "helicopters don't actually fly - they're just so ugly that the earth naturally repels them."
MUITO BOM E APROVADO POR MIM.
Simple👍👍👍👍
This is great, how realy smart people always work and their vision can see things that others can not.

I want one!!!!

Never woulda got away with that Hara Kiri joke in the US
I like this, take off from home and land at work, or vise versa...lol I would want a guide on the edge just to make sure I don't chop the bits of a tall person off or if I got to close to a building...lol
Cool! I'm working on something similar. TH-cam .. "Helicopter Model 4 Monocopter". But even I would put my money on this!
this is how i would want to go to work.
I WANT ONE! :)
I see too many safety issues for this to take off. Pun intended.
...nothing like a 12.000 volt high tension power line to govern your approved flight plan...
Use tip jets and you don't even need a counter rotational rotor.
Birds and other flying creatures also beat the air into submission by moving their wings...just like a helicopter!
Perfecto
"There's always been something I haven't really liked about helicopters. I think what it is, is that they seem to beat the laws of physics into submission instead of just collaborating with them and flying naturally like a proper airplane does. Helicopters make such a meal out of flying."
time for another fearless lunatic, indeed.
counterfeit pair blades nullify the gyroscopic precession? so the net effect in is like only one blade pair.
There are four engines and the manufacturer claims it can fly with only three (if load maximums are not exceeded). However, since the blades are fixed I suspect that the only method of controlling vertical speed is with the throttle. This scheme seems very dicey at first glance to me.
how would you ajust the fuel to air ratio in higher altitude
Uh, obviously 51 people did. Maybe because it's a memorable quote, and because I mentioned it people will pay more attention to it? But I'm just pointing out the obvious.
Well it's October of 2016 and still haven't seen it do a pattern, does anybody know of a video?
How does it turn? If it is facing North and the pilot wants it to face West, either the pitch on the rotors has to be individually varied (to create different clockwise and anticlockwise drag), or the speed of the rotors has to be independently variable.

Strap on chopper, eh? I see what you did there James.
Inspector Gadget had one in his hat, big deal...
I merely quoted James' opinion, not my own! I love 'copters too, got a few RC ones to play around in the apartment.
i see a problem... you cant turn around.... the helicopter has the back rotor to turn it and counter spin ...
would be great to get around a disater zone.
Nice rule those power-lines :)
Stupid countries on rocky soil. Bury those lines and your landscape does not contain all those 50 Hz antenna's anymore.
oh hahah thats cool...thanks. :)
Yeah he is the guy on top gear but he and Richard Hammond both do other shows outside of top gear.
