just imagine the centrifugal loadings on the rotor with those jets on the rotor end tips

The McDonnell "Little Henry" was the worlds first ram jet helicopter.

Wow, amazing!!!

[@yesitsvish]

now i wanna see the YB-52

[@LogicalNiko]

Here you go…the YB-52 was a second series of prototype B-52 bomber with inline cockpits, swept wings, and jet pods that followed after the first XB-52 designs. The B-52 went through many design iterations, including wing, size, and engine changes.
The aircraft was designed for lifting large loads so they really could be hard to get to set down empty. Also due to their new larger size they originally had issues stopping them in time so it needed braking parachutes.

Let's see the YB52 also.

[@Perktube1]

Good catch.

[@jasonyoung581]

Hmmm.. "notwhatyouthink" said program was scrapped due to inability to to land safely so I wonder how many attempts that last shot took if that's true

[@maniya6830]

Land safely with autorotation. Autorotation is when you land without engine power.

[@stealhty1]

Back them Man used to wave

[@CrackerMcGillicuddy]

Rotor spins the opposite direction on landing?

[@brain8484]

are you joking ? how could the rotar rotate in the opposite direction .. it would have to stop and start spinning ..by that time it would drop like a stone

[@brunoc5xy234]

Depends wich side of rotor you look. It's a optical illusion.

[@LuisJimenez92CR]
