Is 'Airwolf' possible with our current technology? (Supersonic Helicopter)
- Thread starter Dominic Santini
- Start date
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of creating a supersonic helicopter like Airwolf, which is depicted as capable of reaching speeds over Mach 1. Participants acknowledge the limitations of current helicopter technology, particularly retreating blade stall, which restricts speed. Suggestions include turning off rotors during a 'turbo' mode and incorporating wings for forward thrust, though this would significantly alter the helicopter's design. The conversation highlights the challenges of transitioning between vertical and horizontal flight, as well as the potential for advanced materials and technology to overcome some of these obstacles. Ultimately, while the concept is intriguing, practical implementation remains highly complex and uncertain.

So if i stil may continue?...
The main fusalage is the main displacer/mass body.
It will create the mach angle (at mach 1 its around a 90 degree angle at mach 2 its around a 30 degree angle)
In most cases the rotor is mounted at the top helicopter and the blades sticking beyond the nose of the main fuselage
So even when going under the speed of sound the blades are past and out mach angle
And that fine i guess untill we reach certain speeds.

After this speed the blades needs to be in the angle and if possible the tips need to trace the maximum allowed angle the be still a aficient control surface

So if we did this head first rocket strapped and you would keep your arms at 180 degrees at mach 1 they would be at 90 degrees or 45 degree angle each and at mach 2 30 degree from the tip of your head or going of your center bodyline 15 degrees each sidephinds said:

This has gone beyond ridiculous. I'm outta here.

@airwolflover -- PF is not a playground where you can throw out ideas and personal speculation. This thread is in the technical forums, so all discussion needs to be traceable to the mainstream scientific literature. There have been some good posts in this thread over the years (and some not-so-good ones), but for this thread to be reopened it would require valid references. If you or others have such references, please send me a PM (click on my avatar and "Start a conversation"). Lacking that, the thread will remain closed.airwolflover said:
