Vine God it was a Canadian B-25

I was a U.S. Army helicopter pilot and part of my time spent in the Army was as an instructor pilot. I taught the 1st 50 hours of flight instruction., out of a 210 hr. course. Before our students moved onto the 2nd phase of instruction they had to learn and complete 3 solo autorotations (to touchdown). Scores of practice autorotations were done prior to that. When an autorotation is entered the pilot bottoms out the collective, applies pedal to keep to aircraft from yawing and turns into the wind, looking for a suitable landing area. The aircraft is put into an angle of descent that keeps the rotor RPM at an optimal speed. At NO time is the collective used to control the rotor speed during descent. Just before touchdown the aircraft is flared (to slow it down), leveled out, and then collective is applied to soften the landing.

@KAMIKAZE-dk8xd

3 жыл бұрын

Yes but different helos have different tolerances and some, depending on altitude the autorotation is preformd, can over speed their rotors before reaching flare altitude if the collective is bottomed out too long on a steep decent with a heavy load and fuel.

Depends on the loading of the aircraft as to how many can fail. Generally 1-2 things are not brilliant but manageable. More and its between a semi-sustained glide and a glider. Though it does have a reasonable glide ratio of 15:1 or so and losing an engine at 40,000feet would mean it could glide around 183km, more if it had one engine.

Interesting fact: There's an aircraft called an AutoGyro or gyroplane. They're basically airplanes that don't get their lift from fixed wings, but by rotary wings on autorotation alone as part of their normal operation. They have a large swamp boat-like propeller on the back that keeps the aircraft moving forward. The blades are not attached to the engine and provide lift by autorotation alone.

Which raises the question.. was his helicopter pilot a noob? I was a wheeled vehicle mechanic in a US Army Chinook company and I knew what an autorotation is and at least the basics of it. & It was nowhere near my MOS to know that. Probably part of why every aviation warrant officer in the unit offered to sign the papers needed for me to go to WOCS for pilot.. even though those papers only need two warrant officer's signatures. But I didn't take them up on it. The dumb 💩 young idiots do 😣 just like in basic when my back was probably less than millimeters away from literally being broken I went with the super soldier approach instead of going to the medics.. driven in part by the early 2000s drill sergeant push against sick call rangers that would go to sick call for things as stupid as paper cuts, or things even stupider than that.

SmarterEveryDay is such an awesome channel this is very educational in so many ways and I-... It's just awesome.

I work on MH60R's and autorotation is great in the event of an engine failure. But the engines (at least on h60's) are the most reliable aspect of the bird. The problem lies in that if there is ANY failure other than an engine(i.e. Gearboxes, driveshafts, Hydraulics, ect... the things that fail most often) autorotation is virtually useless and we are right back to the falling brick.

@TurboNFRStwoK

kevin vt Check your facts as I think you are a little misguided. First your statement in and of itself is contradictory. The only way you can autorotate a helo is if the main rotor and tail rotor are connected. If the tail rotor is EVER disconnected from the main rotor the helo will instantly start to spin out of control and crash. Which defeats the purpose of autorotation. Look up some vids of what happens to a helo when a drive shaft breaks. Also I don't know what you're talking about (never heard of "splitting the needles" I asked around and no one here had ever heard of that before either including my senior chief who has worked on these things for 24 years) but in an mh60 the ONLY clutch is the one that disengages the engines from the main rotor. The main rotor is part of the main gear box it so if the mgb or transmission as you call it fails the rotor will stop spinning or spin out of sync with the tail rotor and either way autorotation wont work.. The drive shafts are bolted directly to the MGB and TGB. which is bolted directly to the tail rotor. There are no clutches outside of the engine to MGB clutches. Ive written enough so far but you are wrong on pretty much everything you said.

1dgram Let me rephrase, I currently work on MH60s but they are relatively new to the navy. They were just introduced to squadrons in the last few years but before that I worked on SH60Bs. With a few exceptions SH60s are mechanically identical to the MH60. Which is where you will find most of the NTSB records. The one i personally have knowledge of is a/c 505 an SH60B from HSL-48(now HSM-48 since since they also transitioned to MH60R). In 2006 a/c 505 went down after a complete hydraulics failure. Honestly to my knowledge i dont think we have lost a Romeo a/c yet knock on wood. But the mh60s are virtually brand new with very few hours. Compare that to the SH60s that have thousands sometimes upwards of 10 thousand hours on them. So relatively speaking most of those components still have a lot of life left in them.

I prolly got smarter, but i felt extremely dumb during the process.

Started my son in rotary wing flying lessons when he was 14. He took me up in the R-44 and did an auto-rotate (it's part of their standard training). Prior to, he explained what he was doing and why. Been around some pretty wild aircraft (was in the 35th Wild Weasels), but I gotta say experiencing an auto-rotate was one of the biggest pucker factors I ever had.

was that a crashed plane?

Finally! Someone explained autorotation in a straightforward manner!!!!

Thanks for sharing this information.

I like how Niel Tyson made a statement that turned out to be wrong and instead of trying to justify or deny it, he atmitted it and wanted to learn the truth. That's what sience is all about, finding out the truth and adjusting your previous findings to better truths.

Beautiful scenery....wow

+WarriorX almost, it's why gyro's blades are angled back, but the airflow from the engine also contributes to them turning and they are at a fixed pitch so no cyclic to "flair" the blade angle for a vertical landing. Early helicopters where/are often mistaken for gyro's as the power came from a front mounted radial engine that retained a small prop to blow air over the air-cooled motor.

Somewhat like a gyrocopter and exactly like a gyroglider, like the ones they used to tow behind submarines. Those can also release the tow rope and glide down. Not over water of course.

That was utterly terrifying. Amazing how you guys can keep so calm about it!

In my military career I was both an Army and an Air Force instructor pilot in the UH-1 Huey helicopter. Army pilots are trained to make autorotation landings that slide after touchdown (like Gerry did). The Air Force required touchdowns to have no slide because you are more likely to land on a soft surface - dirt, mud, water, treetops, etc - than you are a runway. This was done by just before landing pulling the nose up to reduce forward speed and to build rotor RPM, then transitioning to a hovering autorotation (just as if your engine failed in a hover). I always thought the Air Force way was a better idea.

@av8orAH64

2 жыл бұрын

I concur. I was taught to slide it on. But as civil pilot, I was later taught that the helicopter could do much better. So I practiced 0 airspeed landings. I flew both Hueys and Apache's in the Army and later received great training from Bell at their training academy.

I had one of those cheap $50 drones, and I noticed this same concept when I would kill the motors. It fell so slowly it could easily survive a fall onto grass.

Autorotation is intuitively obvious from the time one is an toddler. I can't remember a time when this wasn't obvious.

Dude I couldn't imagine a better way to confirm your career has "made it" then to have Neal respond to your video! Thats frickin awesome 👌

And that's the exact reaction you should have when someone proves you wrong.

+aboriani how do the ones with a free spinning rotor take off?! really long runway? rotor pitched up?

@aboriani

8 жыл бұрын

+mrJv2k7 gyroscopters have engines just like an airplane, normally mounted backwards, with a propeller pushing forward. As the propeller push, the gyrocopter accelerates and the main rotor (which is tilted backwards) "catches" the air and start spinning, just like in autorotation. With enough speed, a slight change on the rotor blade pitch and the gyro takes off. Normally it doesn't take that much runway, im not a gyrocopter pilot, but I'd guess 200'/300' are more than enough.

@mrJv2k7

8 жыл бұрын

+aboriani makes sense. i always assumed the gyrocopter engine somehow loosely transmits power to the main rotor in addition to the rear prop (some thick-looking ducts seemed to confirm this)...

I was in a jetcopter when it had a total power failure over downtown Kansas City. The pilot did a wonderful job of putting it in auto rotation and actually landing it in a small private airfield. I actually really didn't know for sure what was happening. If I did I probably would have crapped my pants.

Love the scenery!
