Oh I didn't know about shawn. What is the book - I might buy it.
Martin(and everyone): I am not saying(nor do I want to)actually try it and am trying to find out if it is safe. I am simply talking theoretically to build knowledge. As someone with a fixed wing backround who can look at the 172 POH and see limits like 4.4 positive G with a maneuvering speed, I am curious about the limits of helicopters and what they are capable of. If it is true that it is impossible to exceed 3Gs without exceeding Vne for example, that would be really impressive. I am just asking.
Is it wrong to ask?
Id love an little explanation from shawn as to why 3Gs can't be exceeded/why you can't due structural damage due to G forces (or is it in your book at least so I can read there). Thank you very much in advance
