Info on Tilt- Rototrs Needed
Nick,
Been traveling. Hope the following is informative. BA609 USCG Configuration: Maximum Takeoff Weight. 16,800 lbs VTOL {18,000 lbs STOL} Useful Load. 5,500 lbs VTOL (6,500 lbs STOL) Empty Weight. 11,300 lbs Fuel Capacity. 2,480 lbs Standard Internal 1,500 lbs Additional auxiliary Internal/External 3,980 lbs maximum usable fuel Maximum Range (nm). 708 nm Std. Internal @ISA Payload minus Internal Fuel. 3,020 lbs VTOL (4,020 lbs STOL) Maximum Range (nm). 1089 nm Std. + Aux. Fuel @ISA Payload minus Int/ExtFuel. 1,520 lbs VTOL (2,520 lbs STOL) With effort all of the above information can be found on the internet. In regards to comparing an FAA CAT A certified aircraft to a military aircraft, the point is that it is not a fair comparison (as stated in my first postings). If it was, Sikorsky would have FAA certified the H-60 instead of selling the S-76. I have no bias toward tiltrotors, helicopters or fixed wing aircraft (having worked on all three). Each has their own nitch in the market place. Not being a pilot like yourself, I have only flown simulators for these aircraft. But the tiltrotor (in my unprofessional opinion) combined many of the best handling qualities of both helicopter and fixed wing aircraft. I hope, if you have not had the opportunity already, that you get a chance to pilot either a BA609 or V-22 simulator. Take care, CTR |
