Sikorsky 92
BlenderPilot and autorotate,
This is a Djinn SO 1221, I logged about 150 H crop spraying back in 1976, and I crashed one.
The engine produces compressed air which is ejected at the blades tip, hence no need for a T/R.

We've built up a wonderful collection of photographs posted by our members all over the world.
To say it's popular would be an understatement - we've just passed through 50,000 hits!

BlenderPilot,
Yaw control by a rudder like fixed wings, in hover the engine exhaust provides the airstream to the rudder, not very effective though, depending on the crosswind for example to turn 90 to the right it may be easier to turn 270 to the left.
Cheers

TC - Thanks for the comments and glad you like them, pubs and pics that is. I just try to capture dynamic type images that show helicopters doing what they do best.
I have some other "**** Hot" type images with helos in 'unique' angles but if I post them here will get rained on by those saying it doesnt show helicopters in a professional light etc.
Autorotate.

407 Driver - I see your mount parked at the back of the ramp behind the Cormorant.

Here are a few more 407 pictures, my specialty...
Working the 407 at 9,500' in the Rocky Mountains.
Heli-Skiing in the Purcell range
And finally, one 212 maintenance shot, performed in a less-than-ideal situation.....
We had to change a swashplate on this 212 in the field, this neat portable crane attaches to the side of the 212

Life in the Isle of Man
Here is Aeromega working hard at a casevac BEFORE the races. I am stood under the overheads for the Mountain Railway. We were casevacing after a head on between a bike and car.
This is still one of my Favourites - a gazelle that brought the Reds commentator over for the Peel display in 2002. The mondeo is mine, sadly!
and How times change - the Defence Helo Flying School doing the honours for 03
