Vortex Ring,

 

Been there, done that, got the T shirt B) In a previous life, ASW Sea Kings for Aunty Betty when they were new and shiny, and I was young enough to think that Ripple 3 for two weeks was challenging with 150 yards vis in fog, at night :rolleyes:

mawddawg, are you referring to "Turbo" or Turbine....big difference.

Most of the later Bell 47's had a turbo, or more correctly a Turbocharger, that exhaust driven boost system with a pesky milli-second lag.

A choice few Bell 47's were fitted with the Soloy Allison C-20 Turbine, great lifter, short range, but still as slow as a ............. !

I personally don't know of any out there. I have seen a few Soloy Turbine powered Hiller 12E(T)'s still around though.
