Farmer 1:
That sounds like a very slow rotor, FH. Would you enlighten us?
Sure.
From the Bell 206 TCDS:
Rotor Limits
Power On 394 rpm
The FH1100 RRPM is slower still...around 385 if I recall (not flying it anymore).
But actually, come to think of it, you're right. If one blade passes through the gust 394 times per minute and there are *two* blades in the system, then there's a new blade passing through the gust 788 times per minute. Oops! Ya got me.
