Questioned: Can helicopters takeoff ski ramps
- 6 months ago
G'day pilots! reporting live from the cockpit of the legendary Hind we have been asked could it take off a ski ramp? we're about to find out!
most helicopters wouldn't dare sniff a ski ramp
here's the deal: a ski jump can act like a giant slingshot for a helicopter. The angle gives it an initial boost, a little extra kick to get those blades spinning and lift that 26000 pound body off the ground
Engines are roaring, rotors are churning, and our pilot's got ice in our veins and fire in our soul. Here we go!
Thanks for joining us on this wild ride! Remember, if you've got a question about flying machines, shoot it our way. We'll do our best to answer it with the same audacity as a Mi-24 tackling a ski jump!
