S-92 Autorotation Video

Dear Thomas:

Not sure I understand what "shoddy" means.

Over the years at Sikorsky, I made the first power off touchdown autorotations in the UH-60, the SH-60, the S-76A and the S-92. Along the way, I had to teach the US Army team doing the evaluation of the S-67 Blackhawk how to do autorotations to the ground as a part of their evaluation. That hadn't been done before either.

Point is they all look pretty much alike; no dents, no dings, and all landing gear and structural loads well within limits.

Best of all, the meat wagon went back to its parking place empty.

If that is shoddy, its for me!
