This Week’s Hints to help you along:
- Designed for high performance in tropical heat and density altitudes.
- Created for casualty evacuation, despite its seemingly too small size.
- A surprisingly powerful little French engine with no drive shaft to the rotor
- The rotor turned via engine bleed gases, remixed with fuel, ignited — giving high power and zero torque
- Could be transported on the back of a standard issue army truck.
So do you know what this aircraft is? (And a tip of the hat to our helicopter pilot members!)
