Idle curiousity here.... but you get 3rd party manufacturers offering alternate parts for exsisting airframes... prime example... the new blades for the 61.... so what would there be to stop someone coming up with a 3 bladed head for the robbos? Granted, they'd be looking at some serious cash and several years work.... but surely if it made a significant advance to an already popular airframe then would it not be worth the investment?
Mind you... short of the old favourite... 2 blades fit in the garage... 3 don't... who's to say Uncle Frank isn't already thinking in that direction? There's so much talk of slinging maybe a turbine... maybe a diesel... in a new airframe... so is the idea of a developed rotor system so far out there ?
And before someone starts taking shots... I openly admit I'm only a low timer (about 80) all on 22... I can't even afford 1 hour SFH right now, so I keep my nose in here to stay with it. I've not got the hours, years and job experience of most of your guys..... this is why I ask questions... good chance I might learn something
