CJ,
The myth is that at 35 knots a helo can experience VRS. As long as the guidebooks our students use have that bunk in them, our students will not understand what they are doing. This is second cousin to the now-standard belief that a 300 fpm descent can trigger VRS.
The data I posted shows that the max you can get at 18 knots in a helicopter is a 5% torque fluctuation. That is what I said, and what the data proves.
If you want to believe that a helo at 35 knots can experience VRS, please go ahead, nobody will stop you. Maybe you could even write some exams while you are at it!
You will be wrong, but nobody will stop you, after all, they didn't stop the last guys who did it, the ones that charlie used when he started this topic!
