actually no...it was not.  everyone has a hard on about silent helos, but a big loud gun can do just as well.  fucking dumb fuck.

Do what just as well? What, you think some guys sat down and said "alright, we need to really intimidate the enemy with a show of force, so let's make a helicopter that's lightly armed and totally quiet"? Are you suggesting that the A-10 and the Eurocopter Tiger are meant to fill out identical roles, and face the same threats while doing so? Hell, why use helicopters at all? We've got A-10s!

im not comparing an a-10 to a helo.  just saying.  fuck sakes.  youre a cunt.  aint gonna talk to you.  good day.

Just saying that you doubt the value of quiet rotors on helicopters because fixed wing aircraft can intimidate ground troops? Hell, I'll be sure to drop by in any of your threads in the future and "just say" whatever irrelevant commentary I have on my mind.

Actually, it wasn't. He speaks from personal experience, not from hours logged as a chopper pilot on a video game.

As a gunship, as an insertion tool, there is no argument that quieter is not better.

He speaks from second hand experience about providing air support for ground troops in an heavy fixed wing aircraft. You're posting about quiet rotor technology for helicopters and their value on gunships used for insertion. Unless you've heard of using A-10s for quiet insertion, I don't see the relevance at all.

actually i have had first hand experience in CAS from helos and aircraft.  but so have you i bet so yes, keep talking.

That's fantastic, but you spoke of the exploits of some other pilot you knew. The recounted experience wasn't first hand. It was second hand.

Firstly we all know how loud helicopters are (and that first one was nowhere near as loud)

Secondly that was inboard sound, what you hear inside the chopper, they probably do all sorts of soundproofing + headphones and all that shit to protect those inside from the noise

Thirdly this new blade design might only help those inside anyway, it'll be interesting to see how silent this rotor is when this helicopter is flying over your house with a giant searchlight looking for that gun i threw away

Not saying it's cool, just don't expect to not hear it flying above when you see it or for it to be much quieter

I was gonna say that.

I would be in favor of polize having it because whenever some douche nozzle gets upitty and they send the chopper out you are up and awake until they stop circling the neighborhood.

Amazingly, never had that problem.

Also hasn't this technology been used for 20+ years on things like the Westland Merlin?

The main rotor blades are a derivative of the BERP rotor blade design, which improves the aerodynamic efficiency at the blade tips, as well as reducing the blade's noise signature.

marine surely it would be better to have a silent chopper that you can outfit with speakers blaring flight of the valkyries than just a loud chopper?

I would think it would be very intimidating to have a chopper that you can't hear until it's right on top of you on the other side. Then once it's there it can make with the boom boom bang bang.

id rather have an apache that can sit back and pop off targets.

Sir, you are just being argumentative at this point.

Yes we know Apaches are the god of long range anti-armor. You know that other attack choppers still fly close air support though, like the Warthog example? Shit it's not like you guys have any Apaches, the Marines have Vipers exclusively don't they?
