The Kaman K-MAX has intermeshing rotors eliminating the need for a tail rotor. These opposite-spinning rotors lend the K-MAX a natural tendency to hover, making it more stable. The K-MAX is ideal for ...

For about a decade now, Kaman's K-Max intermeshing rotor helicopter has been flying unmanned cargo missions for US forces in Afghanistan. Now, the K-Max Titan is becoming the world's first heavy-lift ...

To evaluate performance, dispersive and distributive behaviors were analyzed. Trials were conducted on an IM45E mixer and mill using various fill factors, mix times (revolutions), and duplicated for ...

Helicopters are very much the mode of the moment as survey companies start to need long-range VTOL. There are very few meshing rotor machines out there. SDO 50 V2 is a multi-purpose, single engine ...

With its unusual intermeshing rotors and no tail rotor, the Kaman HH-43 Huskie hardly looked like a combat aircraft, yet it ...

The science behind how helicopters turn midair is straightforward enough. Most of them usually come with main and tail rotors, which spin to create lift for the craft. This lift can be controlled by ...

The K-MAX uses a unique double rotor system where the two rotors cross each other. Kaman Aerospace calls these "intermeshing rotors." Its opposing rotors eliminate the need for a tail rotor. This ...
