im building a craft that requires very special rotors which i do not know how to build. the craft is a gyroplane , a type of aircraft that can takeoff and land as an helicopter but relies on the autorotation phenomenon to keep flying with unpowered rotors.

the requirements are this ones:

  • the craft will be twin rotor with each rotor at the tip of each wing, i need the rotor to have its controls optimised to this kind of airframe so i need it to have TWO sets of actuators controlling the angle of attack of the blades, a single set controlling pitch. roll control is NOT wanted

  • i need the rotor to generate 85 tons of lift at a maximum of 50-60 rpm, generate 50 tons when autorotating at a forward speed of 170 m/s and to resist any rotational force the rotor spin could generate without deintegrating

  • the rotor must have 5 blades

  • the blades must have small jet engines on the tip, this ones must be the only source of power for this rotor and must have enough power to spin the whole assembly at 75 rpm

  • if you are a pro at this and wanna add blade flex physics please do not add too much.

there is no date for it to be finished, anyway if you want my future craft to use your rotors you must finish before others or have better quality.

anyone interested please feel free to comment. when the craft is finished, the one who built the rotors will be credited and ill give him some upvoting.

    @BeaconIndustries and for rotational forces and detatching with hard pulls?

    @Livingg017 u can change max damage,heat resistance and turn off part collision response and ground collision damage

    @Lq11 also i think you misunderstood the force i needed them to develop, i need 85 tons of force not to lift 85 tons anyway that may explain your test result

    @Lq11 yeah that one, now add turboprops where the jets are and you get the thing ima be building, just imagine a bigger mi12

    @Livingg017 The largest helicopter had a two motors with a diameter of 35 meters and a high number of revolutions, so it can lift loads of up to 100 tons. I'm talking about Mi-12

    @Lq11 hahahadhahah lol. imagine the biggest heli to have existed, now multiply it by 1.5-1.75 and convert it on a gyroplane, a cargo capacity of around 90 tons and a high maximum speed not to say amazing efficiency and vertical takeoff

    @Livingg017 I decided to conduct some tests and tried to make propellers that could lift an 80-ton load. In the end, needed screws 51 meters in diameter

    @Livingg017 I have a question, what kind of giant are you planning to build?

    @Lq11 nah not that difficult you just need to know how helicopters control the hover using the blades, i just need that the controls… wait i do not even need optimised controls i just need rotors that can lift enormous weight at low rpm

    Do you need something like a fully controlled VTOL?
    Very interesting, but that would be impossible for me.

    Lol what a Request XD I'll see what I can do I Guess since I never built a helicopter buT have experience w rotors and Rocket engines

    @Souperplane you are the only player i know who builds helicopters, will you help me building it or finding someone to build it in case you dont want to?
