      From: kefischer@iglou.com               I thought it was well known that a helicopter cannot hover       or land in a courtyard, the walls cause the airflow to form a       doughnut shaped torus of air, instead of being accellerated       downward and outward.               This made the news 20 or 30 years a go when a woman       pilot was asked to hover in a church or school courtyard while       a man tossed out prizes of some sort.        People were decapitated when the hekicopter lost       lift and fell.                      As far as low radar cross section helicopters go, the       patent office included a 1977 study on the uh-60 in the       office response to the application I mailed on Dec. 22, 1978.        It was stamped "Level 12", whatever that meant,       I had no clearance at any time, and that application was       never under secrecy order.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
