ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to interest concerning the purchase of individual Coaxial Drive System (CDS), Yoshine has been offering the CDS's for special coaxial helicopter development applications.   Please write to us with a brief introduction of your intent to purchase and experience.   Price will be provided upon request for qualified purchasers.

A CDS will include all parts that are shown in the following crate, plus four aluminum rotor blades.  You will need to design your own airframe to fit and connect to your own power plants or engines (two-stroke, four-stroke, rotary, or turbine) (single or twin engines up to a total of 120hp) and your own control linkage.

CDS-I Design Reference for Experimental Purpose Only:

1) Rotor Blades: 4 pcs.

2) Upper and lower blades are of slightly different length:

Upper rotor blade length = 2250mm each.

Lower rotor blade length = 2400mm each.

3) Rotor RPM = 750 rpm, Max. 800rpm

4) Rotor Blade Pitch Angles:

        Hovering = 4.5 ~ 5 degrees  

        Forward Flight = 8.5 ~ 9 degrees

5) Horsepower : 40hpx2 to max. 120hp

6) Empty Weight: 230kgs.

7) Takeoff Weight: Max. 430kgs.

Please note that above information is experimental and provided solely for your information only.  For higher payload or a total takeoff weight up to 510kgs, please request for our CDS-II model.

 Rotary Engines ...and new Hirth Helicopter Engines... available upon request.

   

Some coaxial design ideas are presented in the following for your inspiration.

              The Small One. The Open One.

The RotorCycle One.  The Army One.

The New One. The Strange One.

The Turbine One. The complex One.

The Hiller One. A Newer One

 

And the Dream One......

There is an impressive video-clip..... showing very convincing coaxial agility with no tail-rotor.....and done all that on about 60hp some 45 years ago.....(Info courtesy Mr. John Wisely - a very good helping friend from Australia!)
