Glidepath,

Het burgerluchtvaartregister geeft in elk geval geen nederlands ingeschreven Rotorway A-600. Ik ben dus bang dat je niets hoort omdat er ook niets te melden is.

Looks more like a "copy and paste A-400m" and added 737- tail design.
Better to steal a good idea than work out of a wrong one.
Not amused.

It is the ex PH-EUA and is registered in Canada since yesterday. 25-11-2011.

In the aviation photo forum there is a picture of this helicopter at the helitech at Duxford made by cyclingdutchman.
Sad news.

Wat voor lenzen zijn het? Ik heb een a-200 waar ze ook op passen.
Hoor het graag

In contrast to most opinions vented so far, I think it is thinking outside the box. We have this formidable and very expensive weapons platform called Apache. So why not make use of our taxpayers investments? The politician was on the radio today and he mentioned he got the idea from the British te...

@ Glidepath: once submerged, . Would the crew really get out of a lynx cockpit easier ABSOLUTLY TRUE butI think once submerged it will not make a difference but before it submerges the lynx is equipped with a far more effective floatation device than the apache ( which floatation device?), so if the...

I thinks it is cheaper and perhaps equally effective to have marines sail along on civil merchant vessels so far this has not been arranged yet.

I think people should take more thinks in consideration than just the apaches sheer fire power. I totally agree, but remember, it was a politician who raised this. Probably a politician who once saw a video of USMC Cobras operating from ships and thought "Eureka, Apaches can fly from ships!". 'Noug...

Well the British forces just returned from Lybia with some lessons learned and their pilots raised some serious concerns about pilot ability to survive ditching in water. Their pilots said the Apache would sink like a stone due to the lack of floatation devices and while doing so would trap the pilo...

Menno en Hans, bedankt voor de info.

Oh Menno, volgens http://www.defensie.nl/onderwerpen/materieel/vliegtuigen_en_helikopters/helikopters/nh90 zijn dit de gegevens: Rotordiameter 16,30 m Rompgrootte (LxH) 19,56m x 5,30 m Gewicht 10.000 kg Vliegbereik 800 km Kruissnelheid 215 km/u Maximum snelheid 260 km/u Motoren 2 RTM-322 Bewapening ...

Voor evacuatie van gewonden vanaf offshoreplatformen is de NH-90 in mijn ogen ook een tikkeltje te zwaar aangezien de meeste platformen een helideck hebben met een d-value van 9.3 of 9.6 ton.

Carl,

Please inform me where KJC is because i could not find it in the databases.
TIA
