Rotor pilot - it's called 'Search and Rescue' - you search for someone using your eyes/TV/Flir/radar and then you Rescue them - if this is your great vindication of your argument for the superiority of the 101 then I hate to disappoint you but the Whirlwind was capable of doing exactly this 40 years ago!
However in the finest traditions of a man losing an argument, you choose to deflect the direction of the argument, either by brining in random stories such as the one above or by making personal attacks on the other parties.
If I choose to contradict you then it may be because I think most of your posts are misleading and extremely biased eg' Engine and transmission limits with one engine off still make available more then 75% of the total power to the pilots.' Does this mean that 75% of the power available from the remaining 2 engines is available (endorsing my comments) or that 75% of the total power from 3 engines is available from the other 2?
'The left engine (number 1) is tied to the auxiliary gear box and does not directly turn the main rotor.' So is this the weak link? can the auxiliary gearbox not handle the full power of the RTM322 and therefore not transmit it to the rotor?
Some facts, not rhetoric would be nice but I think I'll have to ring our Merlin Sqn and get some proper information.
