Ah yes not bad this one
But it's not a looping ... we don't take a negative G in a looping ... on the contrary, only positive.

If someone finds that of Hulot in an SU27 which makes the same

Trent 900 RollsRoyce engine on the test bench

It is tests of behavior when a blade of the fan is blocked. the regulations require that the pieces be contained radially by the shielding (so as not to cut the cabin and the passengers who would be on its way ...).

To trigger the departure of the blade, I think it's a pyrotechnic system that breaks the blade at the foot of the blade. As the test is not difficult enough , on certain engines in addition they require that the engine keeps a certain percentage of power for x minutes ....
Otherwise the engine is not homologated and does not have authorization to fly.

When the test has not succeeded .... there are times when the engine, or what remains, is nothing more than a big hole ..... everything is gone in the exhaust / nozzle.

Hello

It is the 1st time that I see an airplane whose useful mass is equivalent to the unladen mass !!

the Musketeer Jodel 140 had this particularity
many microlights carry more than their weight although legally they are limited to an administrative weight, but structurally certain they are able to take more.
A guy who travels by ULM Rotax 912 100hp engine in the far north if he has a passenger, fuel for 6 hours, a fleece survival kit, it would surprise me that he is at regulatory weight. A selected pilot, to be legal and to run out of fuel, or to be overloaded for half of the trip, to consume 3 hours of fuel, to be regulatory on the return, to finish his trip.

It is true André and that I am stupid and there is even better, the lightest of the ULM; the paramotor!

For a single-seater:

Empty weight (wing + engine + fuel) = 25 to 35 kg
Useful mass (pilot weight
PTV (total flight weight) = 100 to 150 kg

Unbeatable mass load rate!

Good after must be motivated to travel with a paramotor ... It is sport more than a means of transport! But what a sport!

Hello,
My father always told me about a little thing that was the sky bike.
In fact, it was the louse of the sky.
A small wonder of simplicity, and security for the time.
On the following video, we see it take off over a few meters:

A video, which shows that it is an insect that is tossed by the wind, and which manages to fall back on its wings

You have beautiful lice you know!

Here is what you can do with a paramotor (and with no other motorized aircraft):

"We" is still Mathieu Rouanet, (world champion) ... or a team of drivers during a world championship ... Not the average Beijing!

Otherwise, it is true that it is enjoyable radada ...

A little video of friends:

Admire the mastery!

Wow!

I did a ride in an identical Beaver on Saturday October 8th and I did not believe it capable of such acrobatics in flight because I piloted it in the air and it did not respond to commands with as much agility but we were two, surely that the engine is not the famous Rotax 503 engine and I doubt very much that it is a student pilot who makes twirl this small device!


Thank you André for the video!

I send the link to my friend who owns this Beaver
