Smoothest pilots I had flown with; in fact, when we started the hover and climb out in accord with my requested flight plan profile, I didn't realize they had lifted off, and were already in low speed forward flight. I made the short comment on the intercom .."Aah, a Presidential takeoff"... Smooth and professional pilots!

    Look closely at the moment of lift off - the right wheel clears the ground first then as the tail turns towards the camera, the left wheel is slightly lower than the right in the hover. This is due to a design feature of the flight controls of the S61. As collective is raised, main rotor shaft torque increases, and collective to yaw mechanical coupling increases the tail rotor pitch. The additional sideways force from the tail rotor would cause sideways drift to the right if not corrected. There is a similar collective to cyclic coupling in the mixer unit, so that as collective is raised, the right side of the swashplate rises slightly more than the left side, causing a left wheel low hover but counteracting the right drift force from the tail rotor.

    • @alanwhitfield1907
      @alanwhitfield1907 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      @@AnAncientCatBoi I know it’s a bit technical, but let me try to simplify it. A helicopter has three flight controls, Collective, Cyclic and Yaw(pedals to control the tail rotor blades pitch). When the collective lever is raised, the pitch angle of all the main rotor blades is increased ‘collectively’ or all together. This increases the overall lift generated by the main rotor, but also increases the torque in the main rotor shaft. This would make the fuselage rotate in the direction opposite to the main rotor rotation. To counteract this, the pitch of the tail rotor blades has to be increased. This can be done by the pilot operating the pedals, or in the case of the S61 it is done automatically by the design of the mechanical flight controls. This mechanical feature is known as ‘collective to yaw’ compensation, and happens automatically without any input from the pilot. Unfortunately, it has an unwanted side effect. The additional force generated by the tail rotor compensates for the increased torque in the main rotor shaft, but also generates a sideways force on the fuselage, which would cause a sideways drift to the right, viewed from the rear of the aircraft. To counteract this sideways potential sideways drift, the main rotor has to be tilted slightly to the left. The pilot could do this by moving the cyclic control to the left, but it is achieved automatically by the mechanical flight control linkages. As the collective lever is raised, the pitch of the main rotor blades is increased more on the right side than on the left side. This is called ‘collective to cyclic coupling, and causes the blades to flap up more on the right side and less on the left side. As a result, the rotor disc is tilted slightly to the left, generating extra force to the left, balancing out the right force generated by the tail rotor. One of the features of all helicopters is that the fuselage tends to move beneath the rotor shaft so that the centre of gravity is inline with the main rotor shaft. If the rotor disc is tilted to the left, the main rotor shaft will also tilt, and the centre of gravity of the fuselage will swing to the right, causing the left side of the fuselage to be lower than the right side. It is known as ‘left wheel low’’ hover. If the main rotor turns in the opposite direction, the result will be ‘right wheel low’. It is normally only a small deviation between the left and right wheels or skids,and mainly noticeable in larger helicopters, like the S61. It will also be dependent on how heavily loaded the aircraft is. I hope this helps you understand. I can’t make it any simpler.

      watched a flight of two blackhawks and a V-22 take off in the desert of 29 palms a few years ago. When the sand is kicked up it creates a ton of static impacting the rotors, to the point that the rotor tips will glow from the static discharging into the tip vortices of each blade. It created this bright white, orange, and green light at the blade tips as they spun. It's similar to the saint elmo's fire seen on tall mast ships in lightning storms.
      Absolutely insane cause it was bright enough to act like a halo ring around the helicopter, and around the engine nacelle of the osprey. Google "Osprey rotor glow" if you want to see pics of what I'm talking about.

      All helicopter rotors do this, as the pilots pulls up the collective pitch lever on lift-off. The rotor is creating a great downward flow of air, and taking on the full weight of the helicopter and pilots within. The blades are designed to flap, or bend like that.

    I can guarantee you, the pilot at the controls by the very nature of the job, is one of the most gifted helicopter pilots in the world. Once he gets a bit of altitude, the visibility goes to almost nothing and he is on instruments, which is a lot harder to do in a helicopter than an airplane.

    I forget squad number but all these pilots go through a extensive training program and their USMC background is vetted before then even step foot in the cockpit of a presidential white top. Each one has to have so many combat flight hours and troop transport hours in their logs to be considered. So that take off, hover, rotate, and max performance lift off was a walk in the park for the pilot. History channel did a whole episode on it some time ago.
