Nice looking iron.

 

I really dig the rotor tips swept down like that. Looks funky and kinda not-so-right all at the same time. :blink:

 

Agusta calls them eliptical tips. The tail rotor has a "mini" version of the M/R tips. Check out the blade tips on the EH101 for a funky design. An Agusta engineer told me recently that the tips alone on the 101 produced 30% of the lift.

 

By the way the A139 is an absolute pleasure to fly.

The AB139 cockpit picture on the left is an old one. There are 4 screens in the production helicopters now, and 2 MCDU's.

 

Thanks,

 

That's all I could find on a Google image search. I look forward to a day when I can drive one of those Beasts. Nice looking ride indeed. Getting tired of the steam driven antique guages.
