Top Gear Helicopter Crash
|
Whoops :eek:
|
Oops someone is going to get spanked for that!
|
oupsi...
|
Vette 1, Cobra 0
|
How do I watch this on my new iPad?
|
Can't view on stupid iPhone lol
|
:nono: you didn't want to do that:(
|
Opps. New pants required for the pilot/crew.
Helicopters don't do twisties, well not when its in a stall at 30ft :o |

US version but pretty impressive.
An onboard camera records the crash of an AH-1 Cobra during filming for an episode of Top Gear South Korea. |
As much as I'd love to pause and wait for the anti-fanboys to jump in. You click the link on an iPad and iPhone. I watched it on my Apple TV via my iPhone.

Doesn't work on my iPhone (just says "loading the player" on the page and does nothing else).
:D |
It was either a very unfortunate mechanical failure in the helicopter, or it was a serious crew error on the part of the pilot.

Hmmm, Jack proves once again that he can't read (or simply doesn't bother). From his own link:

Worked on my iPhone 4, the in-copter footage was pretty good!

It looks like the pilot banked too steeply and scrubbed off far to much forward speed. When he was banked over at that angle he'd need to be going much faster otherwise the aircraft would settle in its own rotor wash. You can see from the onboard video he tried to correct it by inputing a slight left cyclic correction. It was too little too late.
To simplify, the aircraft should be sitting on top the lift generated by the rotor. At that speed and angle, any lift being generated is almost parallel to the ground, and the aircraft would simply slide out of the sky. A few extra knots and he might have made it. So definitely pilot error (in my opinion). |

whoops what a landing lol

Yep, as Jack says, click the link at the top of the window, works on my iPad. :thumb:

Apologies if I set a cat amongst the pigeons, but I've only had the iPad for 2 days.
Clicked on the link, and of course it worked. Basic pilot error? |

Must be your network.
Same network as my PC, which works fine. :) |

Works on my 4S with IOS 5.1, something must be wrong somewhere!

Your powers of deduction are beyond measure, Leslie.
