    Read a story where a Huey in Vietnam took a round through the short shaft between the turbine and the rotor. And a round that trashed the collective. So they were trying to autorotate while listening to a runaway turbine screaming unloaded at full throttle. And hoping they could get out before the turbine shredded itself. As I recall, they crashed, and the bird tipped sideways. The crew chief, a hero, cut the fuel lines with his emergency knife shut off the engine. High pucker factor.

  • @scottr9900
    @scottr9900 2 роки тому +3

    The Huey was designed for a very permissive environment. Opposing ground fire was not anticipated. Adding weapons systems made them heavy, and therefore even more vulnerable. Adding armored seats, slower. Flak vests for the pilots/crew, slower. Cruise in Vietnam was like 90-100kts. The Gun birds were the slowest, having to make running takeoffs, as they couldn’t make a takeoff from a hover. The Dustoff birds were as light as possible, and could make that top speed you mention.

    I've not finished the video yet, am at the point where you switched helicopters. I am, however, really impressed with the Gazelle. Cap, you were flying it like a fixed wing and getting away with it! You had no problems with rolls, loops, Immelman, etc. This leads me to wonder what the Gazelle could do if its pilot were to fly using some of the tactics of fixed wing dogfighting, as in 1 circle/2 circle, energy management etc. The Gazelle has the advantage in speed, agility, and especially the agility in 3 dimensions (loop, Immelman/split S, roll); it's primary disadvantage is inability to take damage due to thin skin/lightweight construction. If it were to be flown with an eye to avoiding the one circle nose fight (in which the Gazelle only needs to be hit once by heavier shells to be taken down), focusing instead on the two circle where the Gazelle intentionally remains on the Huey's 6 by flying lag and then tightening down, I don't really see a way it could lose. Any chance you guys might try this?

      Holy crap! That is living _dangerously!_
      I guess it's the price the designers were willing to pay in order to get that agilty. There aren't a lot of helicopters that can perform BFM like a fixed wing jet. It probably takes a wizard of a pilot to pull those maneuvers in combat while being constantly defensive even when aggressively getting on the opponent's 6 without taking _any_ rounds. I have always maintained that speed and agility will never become irrelevant. Combat situations in which those qualities are needed certainly do not occur now as frequently as they did in WW II or Korea, but...and it's a _big_ but!....(oh shit lol see what I just did there? ....a BIG but...< _a big BUTT, and I cannot lie🤣🥲😹😅😂_ > despite what the experts say, situations will arise in combat that will be utterly unexpected by mission planners. You may never dogfight in combat, (here comes that BIG BUTT), _BUTT_ if you only have to dogfight once in your entire career as a military pilot, whether fixed wing, rotary wing, variable-TOMCATS-sweep wing, that one time makes having an agile, fast aircraft priceless.
      Because in a dogfight, only one flies away. I would certainly want to be the one who flies away, which would tend to make me pick the Gazelle.
      _BUTT_ (I can't stop with that lol🤣), that paper thin skin you mentioned just now, that sets me back a bit.

    Regarding the difference in climb rate; the Huey might have a slight advantage in power:weight but the Gazelle is so much lighter and so much more streamlined I think that's what makes up the difference. Plus (without knowing specifics, I'm just speculating) the tri-rotor of the Gazelle might mean more responsive lift input vs the Huey's big slow bi-rotor. Possibly something to do with lift generated per rotation or something. I'm guessing here 😅

    This is astonishingly horrible flying! :D Totally unexpected to see the Grim Reapers suck THAT much in DCS. I'm saying that with a cheerful laugh, but... oh boy...

    Mast bump? Who’s flying their Huey upside down? I’ve heard the swash plate bump when the collective bottoms when you’re headed for the deck in a hurry. The nice thing about the rotor system in the Huey is that it’s pretty tough. Except for the Jesus nut. The delaminating issue was solved, as I recall.

      Mast bump or Huey tuck?
