while the invention of helicopters they were two people chalenging for but the worst idea won and now we have stupid dangerous copters this is the way to do it's the most simple way only two commands whitch make it so simple that anybody could pilot it after one hour learning ! wonderfull
It wouldn't need a chute if the top blade could idle spin if the engines stalled. Or even both blades, but the gearing that makes then counter rotate might make them to hard to spin idle if you also had to spin the gears idle, but if the top blade could spin idle you will have auto gyro and that is essentially a built in parachute. Choppers have a switch to engage auto gyro so if you know your out of fuel you flip a switch and land. Gyro planes rule.
I'm really glad to here you are attempting to add a pop chute. This could be the start of another Model T Ford... where the common man can afford to fly and sales sweep the country. You Mr. Inventor, are a genius ! May God Bless you ... and keep your invention out of the hands of the auto manufactures.
Unfortunately, power failure close to the ground (even with ballistic parachute) = not good. While removing the collective from the equation substantially simplification things, it also excludes the possibility of auto-rotation (and safety). It would be neat to see a variant with collective pitch.
Infinitely more complexity involved that would negate the innate simplicity of the design, plus the nature of the emergency chute is ballistic, it'll open in just e few vertical meters.
James May is a truly outstanding presenter, with his 'tongue-in-cheek' humor ("Time to head for Japan" - wonderful!) and dry British reserve, he has the perfect balance between seriousness and major sarcastic comedy. I would LOVE to see HIM fly this thing. Nothing personal James! (better get the parachute sussed first though - an EXCELLENT idea!)
Helicopters don't "beat" anything into submission. The same laws that give lift to an airplane wing, give lift to a helicopter rotor. I'm 59. Been flying rotorcraft and fixed wing since I was 19 ( via the U.S. Army). Nothing scary about helicopters unless you're "low or slow".
Well that's a small piece of simple genius and no mistake. With a bit of automation it could make a personal escape pod from skyscrapers or a short range taxi ("vertical personal lift"...)
I totally agree with you. It goes hand in hand with an invention caused by the helicopter, the Rotary Engine. Mazda decided to arm their "RX" line of cars with such an engine. Pistons work fine, but Mazda created it just to "Think outside the box." They're not the most reliable, and have a lot of oil issues. But the payout is enormous. a 1.3 turbocharged can chuck out nearly 300 horsepower, while maintaining efficiency and sounding amazing. "Just because we can."
America did have something kind of like this in the mid 1950's, it was called the de Lackner HZ-1 Aerocycle, though it was only a few prototypes and the project sadly didn't go anywhere. Good to see our good friends in Japan have some interest in personal helicopters though. :)
This is not a NOTAR. A NOTAR uses a turbine driven fan and direction jet to counteract the rotational torque of the main rotor instead of a tail rotor. This uses counter-rotating Main rotors to neutralize the torque.
You know that the pilot doesn't actually bail out. The parachute is attached at the top of the copter to bring both the copter and the pilot down together. This safety system is currently employed on a lot of light aircraft: a parachute for the whole plane.
"Need to be very smart, quite unhinged, and quite possibly a bit suicidal ... JAPAN!" Yet another iconic James May line. Do have to wonder about this contraption, how is yaw controlled? Pitch and roll (front-back and side-side motion) is by weight-shift, but how would it rotate? Would need some means of changing torque on each rotor, but it doesn't seem to have that capability given the fixed-pitch blades and as far as we can tell no differential mechanism of any sort. Seems like it is just stuck facing whichever direction it happens to be facing, which really limits the practical potential of it.
Uh, obviously 51 people did. Maybe because it's a memorable quote, and because I mentioned it people will pay more attention to it? But I'm just pointing out the obvious.
Death Trap. It needs pitch control so that it can autorotate if it looses power. Helicopters have this basic feature for safety. I am surprised that with your flying background, James, you did not point this out. Instead, you marveled at the simplicity of the design. A parachute needs hundreds of feet to deploy and is no substitute.
If the pilot is a "lunatic" then that must make all pilots of small aircraft lunatics. According to James May who flys a cessna of his own. Making himself a lunatic.
Simplest rc helicopters are made like this thing and they can turn around by having the two blades of the rotor spinning at different speeds, but i don't know if this one can
James I quite agree with your bug-smasher description of a helicopter's approach to flight. You left out the part about every chopper pilot making a pact with the devil to keep it in the air, though. Nicked an idea from Kamov, have they?
A proper airplane is really a powered glider. See Israel's Urban X Hawk. A flying car with the prop blades inside the frame. The car can hover next to a burning building and deploy a ramp for people to climb on. Or it can jump over a traffic jam to perform emergency operations.
thanks for caring for very slow internet connection. I'd like you to post some 12p resolution videos... to enjoy fluent low, very low resolution videos. I'd appreciate so.
It looks like a very cool way of getting around... and probably very cheap too! Obviously has some issues that need to be worked out though. How does this thing yaw? Buttons on either side of the handles?
This is great, how realy smart people always work and their vision can see things that others can not. wish to be in one of them flying around with no fear of crashing ????
I like this, take off from home and land at work, or vise versa...lol I would want a guide on the edge just to make sure I don't chop the bits of a tall person off or if I got to close to a building...lol
"There's always been something I haven't really liked about helicopters. I think what it is, is that they seem to beat the laws of physics into submission instead of just collaborating with them and flying naturally like a proper airplane does. Helicopters make such a meal out of flying."
There are four engines and the manufacturer claims it can fly with only three (if load maximums are not exceeded). However, since the blades are fixed I suspect that the only method of controlling vertical speed is with the throttle. This scheme seems very dicey at first glance to me.
هنا هو العادم واحد و 4 محركات ترتبط معا بطريقة شبه الدوار. أنا لا أرى أي طريقة يمكن لهذه الدوارات تحرير تدور. أنا لا أرى أي علامة على وجود مخلب شريحة أو وسائل الفصل التام، وأنا لا أعتقد أن الجهاز يسافر بسرعة كافية أو لديه ما يكفي من الوزن / كتلة تدور الإعداد الدوار موانع التناوب دون المرور من خلال علبة التروس التي لديها الكثير من المقاومة، وأنا لا أعتقد أن الدوارات طويلة بما فيه الكفاية.
I heard a better description of the helicopter than James Mays. That is "3000 moving parts flying information all looking for a way out!" Though I have to admit it looks like it would be fun until you started looking down while you are flying.
It is not a rocket suit. It has two rotary wings. You have two brain halves and you still keep them empty. Other people have two eyes. Are you shure you have eyes?
How does it turn? If it is facing North and the pilot wants it to face West, either the pitch on the rotors has to be individually varied (to create different clockwise and anticlockwise drag), or the speed of the rotors has to be independently variable. Looking at the rotor head, I can't see any possibility of changing the pitch. Also - does it autorotate if power fails?
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEN_H-4: "Yawing motion is produced and controlled by electronic gyroscopically-controlled differential electric braking of the main rotors"
This is some of the most close thing you can get of a *'flying car'* now. But it should be as a hobby tool or a vehicle at a project area, not a privat *'car*'. To many crashes.
Every program including James in it, is a blockbuster and damn interesting!
I gotta get one . I’m getting old and the choices are ..peeing pants , senility , stroke or being neatly sliced into bite size pieces for the birds .
***** Jeremy ? who
like your way of thinking
...take care you my not remember from where you left or more importantly which way is the House...then again...who Cares...were Airborne !.... : )....A.C.Feuerhelm
How does a peeing pant fly? Like a para glider?
I like James May's humor the best out of all the Top-Gear guys. :0)
EvenStar LoveAnanda I prefer dry humor as well. If something is funny, it doesn't need all the theatrics :P
There are more people liking humor. Hasn't May been on television some times? Rumour has, he was often showing up a bit late.

That's just what makes them that much more amazing though. It takes true genius to make something so out-of-the-box actually work.
In 2019 I want this for Christmas
I can't possibly see what could go wrong.............safe enough for a small child.

Hah! There's an old saying among fixed-wing pilots: "If God had meant there to be helicopters, He would have given birds rotary wings!"

That's precisely why I love them. But still you have a valid point.

the solution: fly higher!
You don't jump out of the plane. The parachute is for the whole copter. Both pilot and copter are gently lowered to the ground.
it's just genius!

Beat the laws of physics into submission! So true, I laughed so hard!
It's said by fixed-wing types that "helicopters don't actually fly - they're just so ugly that the earth naturally repels them."
Well that's a small piece of simple genius and no mistake. With a bit of automation it could make a personal escape pod from skyscrapers or a short range taxi ("vertical personal lift"...)
this is a prototype mini helicopter...a small cessna is another thing entirely. you can actually glide if you lose power
I am glad to see this idea is till feasible my grandfather started on a similar concept in the 1950's with the Helivector.
"time to head to Japan" LMAO

Check some airshows on very light aircraft. This is an antique video, developments have developed since. There are some other planes like this today.
his english is really really good for a native japanese

Wou great nice kreatif buat helicopter sir wou nice!!

hehe Billy May, a pitchmen for products, James May, a pitchmen for ideas! :D
awesome!! now i know exactly what to do with the old whipper snippers in my garage!!

I read the title as "James May's Bad Ideas"
Counter rotating blades also increase efficiently, as well as, unfortunately, noise output, by generating turbulence.

Hahaha my teacher flies a plane and she says that helicopters beat the air into submission too XD
omg two counter rotating blades, that is an AMAZING discovery... too bad RC helicopters used that ages ago lol
"Helicopters don't "beat" anything into submission. "
Hence the words "seem to".
It's been over 10 years James May. Why isn't there one in my garage?
That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Why isn't this the next big invention? Are big name helicopter companies telling him that he's crazy?
James I quite agree with your bug-smasher description of a helicopter's approach to flight. You left out the part about every chopper pilot making a pact with the devil to keep it in the air, though. Nicked an idea from Kamov, have they?
Use tip jets and you don't even need a counter rotational rotor.
I see too many safety issues for this to take off. Pun intended.
Very impressive. Can't wait for improve model.
On Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine.
"a bit suicidal" = japan lol
strap-on chopper! lol
what's the price...what's the price :-)
...nothing like a 12.000 volt high tension power line to govern your approved flight plan...
MUITO BOM E APROVADO POR MIM.
Never woulda got away with that Hara Kiri joke in the US
Nice! You'll never have to worry about mast bumping again!
Inspector Gadget had one in his hat, big deal...
land on the city centrum and as a grassmachine..
A proper airplane is really a powered glider. See Israel's Urban X Hawk. A flying car with the prop blades inside the frame. The car can hover next to a burning building and deploy a ramp for people to climb on. Or it can jump over a traffic jam to perform emergency operations.
Birds and other flying creatures also beat the air into submission by moving their wings...just like a helicopter!
Why on God's green earth aren't more companies investing in this technology??
Simple👍👍👍👍
thanks for caring for very slow internet connection. I'd like you to post some 12p resolution videos... to enjoy fluent low, very low resolution videos. I'd appreciate so.

Yeah he is the guy on top gear but he and Richard Hammond both do other shows outside of top gear.
No shit dude, 'cause I didn't know how birds fly.
Perfecto
ME WANTEE NOWWW!!!
4 chickens with 10 horses each! lol...
would be great to get around a disater zone.
I want one!!!!
Strap on chopper, eh? I see what you did there James.
"... ok but having said that I really would like to have a go in this thing"
And James may reveals his 0.25 Hari Kari.
I merely quoted James' opinion, not my own! I love 'copters too, got a few RC ones to play around in the apartment.
this is awsum!

i see a problem... you cant turn around.... the helicopter has the back rotor to turn it and counter spin ...
But will it blend? Looks like it'll blend a human pretty well...
Cool! I'm working on something similar. RUclips .. "Helicopter Model 4 Monocopter". But even I would put my money on this!
I WANT ONE! :)
LOL Strap on Chopper PMSL
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Why would someone like a comment of something they can hear in the video?
Well it's October of 2016 and still haven't seen it do a pattern, does anybody know of a video?

It's a giant MCX.
counterfeit pair blades nullify the gyroscopic precession? so the net effect in is like only one blade pair.

Though I have to admit it looks like it would be fun until you started looking down while you are flying.
this just missing the wings for stability and turning (the espatuas)
adriano colombo it misses anything this is the most intelligent way for copters only two commands and no complicated mechanics this is the future
