Heard this yesterday before I saw it,sounded different to the normal helicopters we have at work, unusual visitor to the UK ?
It was here for the AMG GT-R launch at brooklands, it flew it in inside an iso container.mybrainhurts said:
Ooooh...a heckilopter with no tail rotor.
I might get to be comfortable with that, unlike the usual stuff that Was Not Meant To Be, work of the devil, and all that.
Edit...
Second thoughts, I looked again. That rotor stack looks a bit over complicated for my liking.
If you think Kamov designs are odd, have a look at the arrangement used by Kaman - I might get to be comfortable with that, unlike the usual stuff that Was Not Meant To Be, work of the devil, and all that.

Kaman K-max lifting/logging helicopters are amazing and weird things. I'm sure they based some of the fish in Finding Nemo on it.

Those blades are gonna hit! No they aren't! Yes they are! etc...
Wobbles like heck when it passes through resonance.

I took this video last year of some Spanish firefighting taking place behind our house in Spain. Those Kamov's were great to see in action but not the best looking heli in the world!
