Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
If he had a seatbelt, he wouldn't have died probably. The tail rotor spins too fast, the material of the blade couldn't handle the outward force then break. 1. The debris of the blade hit the main rotor blades making it break and inclined in an angle. 2. Since the tail rotor was gone, nothing counter the spinning momentum of the main rotor caused on the helicopter cabin, making the entire thing spinning. While the cabin was spinning, our guy didn't have seatbelt, so due to inertia , his body stayed still why the cabin moved and his head ended up outside the cabin. Then the blade hit his head. edit: Still, he was really unlucky. If his head stayed inside the cabin for just another 0.2 secs, he would have survived, since the blade will hit the cabin skeleton first |

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
i'd have asked him about his rickety contraption, why not just take lessons, and buy a copter? I'd finish it by saying, "what's gotten india?" (in to ya?) |
