Your Sunday Morning Rotor Noise

By request, sort of, a Bell-47:



The request was for the title sequence to MASH, which has Bell 47s (technically, H-13Cs) and no rotor noise to speak of. The introduction of helicopters to medevac wounded soldiers nearly halved the rate of casualties dying before reaching a medical facility.

We once used a bubble copter to haul shingle bolts off of a hill. I'm sure it was smaller than this though. It had an aluminum horizontal engine, just like a VW. And while we had it flying it threw a pushrod. Didn't crash but it was scary for a moment. Crazy days.

If it was smaller than the Bell, it was probably a Brantly. A VW is a pretty apt description.
Google the Brantly B2.

Seafury thanks, but it was a separate bubble with the erector set tail. The was no aerodynamic cone behind them.

Does “restored at least twice” mean “crashed at least once”?
