3:36 bird having the ride of it's life? Cyclone in a whirlybird. Just, yes. Next best thing to a turbine. Maybe better, if sheer awesomeness counts. Torque does not hurt either, poor bastards today will never know. And I don't think this is the pilots first time, really nice skills.
Sounds like a 63 Chevy I6 with a bad muffler!! Of course, it hums like a Bee once she's fully heated up! Interesting application of a Radial Piston Engine!!!
Australia here. That has got to be the best sounding helicopter engine, ever. Sounds just like my old 8 ton Dodge wheat truck with its 361 big block V8. Twin exhaust system with short straight flow mufflers.
Love radial helicopters, there in Eastern Europe in agricultural operations, have seen a lot of work done by a Ka-26. That engine sound always cheers me up.
