HomoCopter
 
At last; a low cost, low maintenance helicopter.

GreenZeroOneZero 14th Jul 2008 08:03

Is there a tandem rotor variant? :}

Homocopter?
No way. :eek:
I guess that makes me homophobic. :oh:

... and there I was thinking it would be adorned with sequins, hold Barbra Steisand's entire CD back catalogue for the pax and have a massive tail boom covered in piercings...

All we need now is a 100hp homo!

That saddle looks like it might give you vortex ring!

Ooer, what no freewheel! What happens in the event of homofailure?

In these PC times shouldn't there be a female version?

What happens in the event of homofailure?
One performs an auto-erotica to the ground.

There is a female version, but it's a bit more like a fixed wing thingy! The rest is too rude!

Assuming this goes into production can I assume that a twin rating will be required as each leg is an engine.

Will one be required to sport a large Pancho Villa moustache, bikers leathers and pout with indignation when confronted by the owner of a Hetero-Copter? (Or the low flying bumpy chested version, the Carpet-Copter) :E:E

Hmmm, good point Lost Again.

I wonder if Bell's 'Homo Head' (so nicknamed by the Marines) has any application possabilites atop this.

SquirrelFlight 14th Jul 2008 17:37

Was there actually a patent granted for this steaming pile? Amusment from the title aside, this is a piece of mental masturbation from someone who had obviously spent no time at all studying powered flight, not to mention human-powered flight...

B.U.D.G.I.E 14th Jul 2008 17:51

upgrade
 
Is that the rigid head version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:\

slowrotor 15th Jul 2008 05:22

I see it has flapping hinges, but no lead/lag hinges. This could be a problem.
Maybe the inventor should consider the Robinson tri-hinge to eliminate this potential problem.

Tarman 15th Jul 2008 07:19

Wouldn't like to fall off !!!:eek:

Graviman 15th Jul 2008 11:40

Ah this is a classic case of the rotor being designed in inches, but made in millimeters. I pity the poor pilot struggling away wondering why he can only generate 15% of the power required to HIGE. ;)

Judging by the tenuous grasp of the English language, (not to mention the even more tenuous grasp of basic physics )displayed in the Patent details,one must assume that the optimist is a foreign national,and given that it's filed in America, together with the name, I believe our transatlantic cousins would appropriately define the patentee as a "whack-job" :\

SASless 15th Jul 2008 15:07

I don't think we want to consider the "turbojet" or "ram jet" versions!:oh:

choppertop 15th Jul 2008 16:09


One performs an auto-erotica to the ground
while felching to equality

Whirlygig 15th Jul 2008 16:21

That reminds me Sassy, you promised me a curry!! :ok: :}
