fake   10 #433 Posted August 1, 2012 Not really so, the removal of the rear stabilising rotor results in a safer aircraft, and also a less noisy aircraft as you've only got one rotor making noise.  There may only be one rotor but the pitch of the sound is not from the rotor, its the distinct rumbling and crackling sound of a HP engine without an exhaust. Similar to a dragster but with less db, in fact it reminds me of a RR Merlin engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ShefStealth   10 #437 Posted February 22, 2015 So it's taken them three years, but it looks like NPAS has finally succeeded in completely stealing our police helicopter and closing down the Sheffield helicopter base.  BBC News: Police air service to cut 10 helicopter bases - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-31557425  And whilst I suppose in some ways it will save us cash by not having to maintain the base, I very much doubt that they'll compensate us by having the NPAS service actually purchase the helicopter off of South Yorkshire Police to help balance it's budget - so it's our police's budget that's been used to buy the helicopter yet we are now going to be deriving very little benefit from it.
