RE: Helicopter Main Rotor Blades
These blades, though expensive, give longer service life and with the inclusion of the "BERP" tip (British Experimental Rotor Program) can out perform the convetional blade length for length, or give equal performance with a substatially shorter blade. This is naturally important to
the ship based helicopter where space restrictions and a blade fold capability are required.
For more information visit www.gkn-whl.co.uk, click on Manufacturing Services and then Upgrades&Modifications.
Best regards.
RE: Helicopter Main Rotor Blades
We are interested in the milling of the huey
leading edges.
We are interested in building a set for a light helicopter.
We can buy the spars made of extruded 6061-T3, but would like to know if it is possible to mill our own.
