    What a cool video, Jesse. The K-MAX is such an impressive heavy-lift helicopter. It is capable of lifting over 6,000 pounds (2,700 kg) with its twin intermeshing rotors. The K-MAX is an incredible machine and it is amazing what it can do.

    • @TheHDAviation
      @TheHDAviation  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks so much Matt! I was so happy to finally get footage of a K-Max, I saw this exact one in Nelson five years ago but never managed to get a video of it. They really are impressive heavy lifters, and I love the unique design.

      @jameschristiansson3137 2 роки тому +1

      You must be thinking of a different helicopter. The K-MAX says right on the helicopter "Maximum External Load 6000 lbs." For a brief overview see the video over on Vimeo titled Flight Test: Kaman K-MAX

    • @MattsAviationChannel
      @MattsAviationChannel 2 роки тому +3

      @@jameschristiansson3137 Yes, you are right. Thanks for the info. I have just corrected the numbers. It is actually the unmanned K-Max helicopter which can lift more than 24,000 pounds of water onto a fire within one hour. The helicopter is often used for fire fighting and or other high-risk missions. The unmanned or pilot optional version lowers the risk for personnel.

    Spectacular video my friend! That is one very unique Helicopter! I must say thanks for sharing this outstanding content. You and Matt really inspire me to do more and become like you guys! It seems like I’m already beginning to gain my goal as I am at 1 thousand one hundred subscribers. Thanks to you! If I hadn’t seen your channels I would never have gotten the courage to create a UA-cam channel. Thank you again for your amazing work. I hope one day you reach all of your goals and live your life as happy as can be! Have a great day!

I feel terrible that he always feels like that. Can you give him a shoutout by any chance? I’m telling ya he would be the happiest he’s ever been ever! Once again I hope the words really made you happy and I’m glad I made your day :)

    The aerodynamics of a common helicopter is already very curious how it works, imagine this different model and with the main blades passing so close to each other! the model also does not have a spray rotor, very interesting, thanks for bringing these videos to us.
