Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / March 2006Neighbours complaning about heli noise?
Here's the cure! http://www.newscientist.com/blog/technology/2006/03/shotgun-wielding-helicopter.html I wonder what the recoil would do? Jaw dropping!! It confirms my perception that the US has very little regard for safety and life.

But it also show's they've got an excellent sense of what to do with them f.ckers who've got nothing better to do than complain aobut noisy heli's:-) I want one and I want it now.

It stops the thing dead in it's tracks. And there's a LOT of bollocks talked about the way it flies/is flown.

Seriously, it's a single company (and probably a small one), and they're playing with a military application, and they've made a press release hoping to get themselves some exposure and make some money. They do NOT speak for the entire US. You'll also find similar products being created on your side of the pond. (And really, it doesn't seem like a very practical application. But maybe in a few years they can have the fully automated flying kill-bots that we've always wanted.) | > Here's the cure! | > | > http://www.newscientist.com/blog/technology/2006/03/shotgun-wielding-helicopter.html | > | > I wonder what the recoil would do? It's hard to be sure, but it looks like the shotgun is mounted somewhat near the center of gravity. So it probably won't throw the helicopter out of whack when fired, if that's what you mean. And if you watch the video (ftp://autocopter:gunship@www.neural-robotics.com/AutoCopter_Gunship.mpg) you can see that there's not too much recoil. It does push the helicopter back, but not too much.

It's hard enough to hit something with a standard rifle at 100 paces with no flying cuisinart involved, let alone trying to do it from a flying helicopter with a gun mounted on the front. (Perhaps they could damage the target by flying the helicopter into it, though even that's not as easy to do intentionally as it sounds.) The inaccuracy isn't due to the recoil, though ... it's just that helicopters like this aren't terribly stable. It might make more a more impressive video if they got a really good helicopter pilot to fly it. It's a bad idea, all around. I'll bet that in it's current form, the pilot of the helicopter is more likely to get hit than any target it's likely to be deployed against. Still, my original point stands -- just because somebody in the US had a bad idea, that doesn't mean we all do. SignatureDoug McLaren, dougmc@frenzy.com Out of Cheese Error... Please reboot universe I think you'd cause more carnage flying the chopper into your intended target.

We've already got 'em haven't we? Predator it's called and it was recently armed with missiles (or maybe just one) an dused to shoot down summat in Iraq. I don't think it was very successful though as it killed more civilians than targets that "needed" killing.

I'm not aware of any autonomous Predator UAVs. As far as I know, they're always flown by a ground based pilot. http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/predator/ certainly doesn't mention autonomous flight as one of it's features.

Everyone alive is a racist. Natural selection. Simple fact of evolution. Observed everywhere among living things the tendancy to be a tad 'racist' goes with the burden of social identity. In humans the social scripter is the control element. Either you are caught up in some social political cause and engrained to banter for the 'cause' and follow talking points or, you are old and wise and know from long experience that bullshit and opinions not unlike a.sholes, are a part of everyone and anyone who sports one. be a good toy for an assassin !! > Here's the cure! > > http://www.newscientist.com/blog/technology/2006/03/shotgun-wielding-helicopter.html > > I wonder what the recoil would do? |
