Helicopters are not designed to do aerobatics It may be capable but wasn't built for that sole purpose.

Reading comprehension is understanding a text that is read, or the process of "constructing meaning" from a text. Comprehension is a "construction process" because it involves all of the elements of the reading process working together as a text is read to create a representation of the text in the reader's mind

Well again your statement is wrong, unless in fact you meant to say that no helicopter is designed strictly for aerobatic maneuvers only which wasn't your original statement.  As I pointed out that certain helo's are designed to conduct aerobatic flight as a part of their overall design criteria.

I think the Augusta 109 was not design as a combat heli, but it's a business heli adapted as a combat heli. Surely the most beautifull bus heli out there, much sexier than the Bell 222 althrough I don;t know how they compare in specs.

Little known Sikorsky attack prototype, absolutely beautiful aircraft, but ultimately too expensive and the Army was switching it's emphasis to an anti-armor role for the attack helo. .  Here is decent video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iniXBYFLybs.

The US have just purchased an Anglo-Italian helicopter for the next president.

[VWE]

Yeah there is a seperate video showing 3 bright flashes of light in the cockpit prior to the crash, that is the Augusta-Bell that will be the new presidential helo believe it or not.

 

Furby... do I need to repost that reading comprehension thingy again?

Finland has received two NH90 choppers out of several that were ordered. However there has been some bad delays.

2 people died in this accident, what come to your mind to make fun of that?

The co-pilot died by drowning in the accident. Two other crew members onboard survived.

Helicopters are not designed to do aerobatics, I find alot of things funny to do with the people I work with in the military... a better title would be 'Darwin Award candidate'.

Raw video,June 01/08:An NH90 helicopter, serialled MM81519 EI-202 of the 1 Gr Sq of the Italian Army based in Viterbo crashed on June 1, in the Bracciano Lake at 16.15L causing the death of Cap. Filippo Fornassi. The other 2 POB (People On Board) were rescued and survived the injuries. The aircraft was at the end of its display in the Ali sul Lago airshow in front of the Italian Air Force Museum, at Vigna di Valle airport.

Im italian, first of all, we got guns, helicopters, we ain't from the stone age, second, those people lost their lives. And your making fun of it?
