Re: [MBZ] Relocation talk again

The Osprey props/rotors are Allison turboprops which use cyclic pitch control that can change lift rapidly; either manually or by computer. It would seem that the same system could be used in a personal quadricopter driven by a light plane engine mechanically connected to the props. The main

Re: [MBZ] Relocation talk again

The real issue with flying a helicopter is that it has nearly zero inherent stability. Rotor speed varies with load which varies with blade pitch angle, which varies as the blades make the circle from ascending angle of attack to descending angle of attack... [think direction of flight.. the

Multi-rotor copters (I don't know about Ospreys) require some fairly fast modulation of rotor lift to stay stable and maneuver, which apparently turbine or recip engines are not capable of doing. So they need electric motors that can be rapidly controlled. I looked into this, wondering why

Well that market down there is in good shape, has been ran well and has good employees so I don't think there will be any issues there. When I took over here I was new to this division and market was a mess. So I am used to that sort of thing. If this move happened it would be for more money

That’s about a 300 mile commute one way. Again, relocations are never a win, but if it’s a good career move you can recoup your losses over time. Just how long that takes is based on how much more you’ll make. Also, if it’s a good direction to go promotion-wise, you just have to factor that
