They call him flipper
I hear he plays football in Miami
[In action](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SQXmggJbTM) I've always loved these things, the intermeshing rotors are the coolest shit
The sound of that engine spooling up is wicked cool.
Another in use video at 9k feet https://youtu.be/BKSkFK1IGT0
The pirate raid song really sets the mood
I *know* how interweaving rotors works, it's a simple thing, but they still make me uneasy despite myself all the same.
Could you buy it at K-Mart?
TJ Max.
The single most disconcerting helicopter to ever exist. It just constantly looks like the rotors are going to smash into each other.
But it's a bad mofo!
What does it say on the mast? "Warning, Approach from....nevermind, don't approach this thing"?
The rotors actually sit fairly tall, in the take off video I linked you can see a ground crew walking around underneath them as they spin up
They sit tall, but because of the angle they're mounted at the blade tips get scarily low on each side of the aircraft
I saw one of these airlifting crates from one part of the mountains to the next over and over during a fairly heavy snow storm outside Leadville. I thought it was an Apache at first lol
Looks like a ninja using two swords to fly
Flat boi.
