The sound comes from the rotor blades. Every two bladed helicopter pretty much sounds like that. It is just the Huey was the most popular one of these. But the Bell 47 for example pretty much sounds the same.

@mattinsley1721 Год назад

That and the thick air foil and length of that blade. The tips are creating a sonic shockwave. You can hear that thump from 10 miles away.

@casebarreoltt5990 Год назад

yup more "choppy" and less blended that 4 bladed.

Most of the Huey's distinctive sound comes from the two long, wide-chord blades. Mixed in with the "thump, thump" is the transmission and tai rotor sounds, they all play a part in this beautiful symphony.

The sound is so addictive. Thanks for the explanation.

Love um. First time I flew in one was in Germany in the 80'S. IT vibrated bad. 10,000 parts all trying to come apart simultaneously

@Instructor60666 Год назад

The tip of the blades goes supersonic, thus creating the shockwaves. Therby the the sound...

@mattinsley1721 Год назад

Thank you for that. I grew up on Army helicopter bases. My father, LTC. William Insley, was a UH-1 Pilot in Viet Nam 67-68. He was comander of the 283rd Dust Off in Pleiku. Those big thumping rotor blades are the sounds of my youth. I wish my father had shared his experiences with me more. I think it was just too painful for him to go there.

It's all about two things really.... proper blade angle and power..... that's what she said!

@JoseLopez-xu8ue Год назад

Use Huey's in bahkmut to transport troops. They're old and great friend. They are new to Ukraine and in bahkmut they can get in through new means.
