McBlemmen Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi. TSIA In the huey i vortex ring every single time i try to land , yet in the shark i can land no problem. Why is this? Does the FM of the huey need tweaking still , is it becouse of the shark's dual rotors , isit becouse of the shark's AP? I'm at a loss here. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jona33 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I suspect the Huey FM needs a bit of tweaking. VRS in the BS happens plenty. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) ...without going in to much details: one engine and two blades vs. two engines and six blades - what do you think helps more to hold you in a stable state and produces more lift/airflow to 'push' the (always present) vortex further from your blades so you have more distance to it and it gets harder to drop in this 'hole' !? ;) - well , when you are once in it - you are almost stuck...and no engine/pitch power will help - than immediately lower the rotor-pitch(collective) - so you don't feed the VSR even more - and decent/drift lateral/forward to get out of it as long you have a fistful air between the fuselage and the ground.- but more blades/and square meters of 'wings' will lower your decent rate significant/extend your 'glide-path' to get out of the VRS . what works in the Ka-50 is a no-go in the Huey: one example - never try to land down-wind with the Huey - always bring your nose in the wind!

msalama Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Whereas the Huey FM (as per my gut feeling too) still needs tweaking, it'll still be harder to fly even when finished. Which, OTOH, doesn't mean you'll never enter VRS in the Shark, because given more flight time (and hard manouvering) there, you will. Trust me on this ;) The DCS Mi-8MTV2.

McBlemmen Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 one example - never try to land down-wind with the Huey - always bring your nose in the wind! Maybe i just got really unlucky every time i tried to land so far (unlucky as in , i had my nose away from the wind every time) I dont really know how to check the weather during a mission.

Jorik Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I must say the Huey needs some training in the beginning. But now I'm comfortable with the Huey. Just keep your approach path shallow and low.

Just keep your approach path shallow and low. exactly! - good things needs some time! I don't really know how to check the weather during a mission. Read the 'weather-report' in briefing! ... well, there might be 'soon' a better way without to interrupt the in-cockpit experience. >>> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1797834#post1797834 Edited June 26, 2013 by PeterP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBlemmen Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Read the 'weather-report' in briefing! Thanks, that didnt occur to me. I do find it a little weird you cant ask a tower for weather reports tough... maybe the military doesnt do this in real life , but i remember being able to do it in FSX. Anyway checking the briefing is good enough for me , as long as i have SOME way to check it i'm fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me on this ;) With an airspeed under 5 km/h and a rate of decent below 5m/s I can guarantee you will be in a vortex ring every time lol [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 an airspeed under 5 km/h and a rate of decent below 5m/s Yeah, that too will get you into VRS every time.

Thank you It depends on how the rotor is loaded for certain type of a helo. Low loaded rotors more prone to VRS as they have lower induced velocity. VRS depends on it and descent rate ratio.

sobek Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is the rotor load on the Huey actually lower than on the Shark? Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team Yo-Yo Posted June 27, 2013 ED Team Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is the rotor load on the Huey actually lower than on the Shark? You can estimate it yourself: weight to rotor disk area ratio. BS geometric area can be multiplied to 1.2 at least regarding a biplane effect.

sobek Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 BS geometric area can be multiplied to 1.2 at least regarding a biplane effect. That explains it, i would have guessed a much bigger ratio for the coaxial rotors. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
