Heli idol
The best looking helicopter of all time? Nominations please. Maybe a head to head prunne vote for the final 2.
The EC120 gets first vote from me ! |
Leonardo's Helicopter
http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/ex...images/174.jpg Just the crew to choose now! |
I'm not sure which is funnier about that - the legs, or that a bunch of nuns are having drinks at a bar.
My vote for the best looking helicopter of all time has to go to the S-92. |
Agusta A190E Power for me, it's a bonny beastie!
HH:cool: |
The raw beauty of the Lama. Ain't nothin' been made since which comes even close.
|
Single..Sa 341/2 Gazelle
Twin.. As332 Super Puma topilot or to.... |
For pure aesthetic beauty, it has to be the Bell 222.
|
I vote for the kamov ka 50 , strong and ugly like all russian bears :D
|
for me?
#1: RAH-66 Comanche #2: MD520 or 530F #3: Aerospatiale Gazelle #4: Ericsson Skycrane |
Favourite Heli ?
Bell 212
There is no substitute |
For pure good looks and clean lines, it's hard to do better than the Rotorway Exec.

Good looking?
As every plank-driver knows, the reason helicopters fly, is that they're so ugly the earth repells them... With this in mind, I find it hard to have a competition on good looks :O
IMHO I have always found that the beauty and looks of machines can be so much more than flowing lines and nice angles. If a helicopter is built for a specific task (K-max for example) and performs it very well, there is a beauty in performing the task that has nothing to do with good looks. Or a SAR S61 standing on the apron: Just knowing its purpose and and the skill involved makes it look outstanding, in my eyes. Anyway, with that said, I put my vote on the 430 with wheels, but that will probably change tomorrow. BTW, what do FW-pilots know about looks? /2beers It\'s obviously a new day already... Because my vote actually goes to the EC130. /2beers |
I'm with TheFlyingSquirrel - it's got to be the EC120: sex on skids! :ok:
|
The MD900 Explorer has to be in the listings, on account of its use of Coanda and the abscence of tail rotor / drive train.
|
What?
No Wessex? Beautiful (in the eye of the beholder, of course) |
1. MD 902
2. MD 520N 3. BK 117 And how about the really ugly ones? |
Wow I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder! we sure have a lot of different opinions.
But if we had a world beauty contest then I think the B430/230/222 series would be a strong contender. http://iserit.greennet.gl/waltere/b430_resize.jpg |
How could you possibly think that Bell hodge-podge could be it? With those silly "stub wings" to hold the gear, and end plates on the horiz stab. :yuk:
C'mon, you all are just purposely ignoring the obvious truth... Long nose S-76, gear-up, low level 155kts flyby. :ok: HOSS |
What planet are you lot on? B206, low skids. Sex with a windmill on top.
|
You lads are on drugs...
H500D or E, tapped out, low and hard coming up the valley. There is no better. |
