Xtreme Helicopter The Red Bull BO-105

If there are limits to everything, no one told Chuck Aaron. The 60-year-old is the first and only civilian pilot to be licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration to perform aerobatics in a helicopter, which he does 25 times a year across the U.S. in a tricked up BO-105, courtesy of Red Bull. “People absolutely can’t believe what they’re seeing,” Chuck says, laughing. “How can a helicopter go upside down and flip over backwards and do all those crazy things?”



After flying 33 different helicopter models for more than 18,000 hours of flight time, you’d think Chuck, with his laid-back demeanor, handlebar mustache and surfer blond hair, would have absolutely no fear of flying. “I’m nervous every time I get in an aircraft for an air show,” Chuck says. “I have this ritual where I sit in the helicopter for 30 minutes and redirect my thinking to the maneuvers and the safety mechanics. But risk is what it takes in life.”



He’s been in charge of NASA’s Space Shuttle Air Rescue Program and done stunt flying in films like the Rock and television shows like NCIS. He helped the U.S. Department of Defense develop and test night-vision systems and rebuilt three Cobras from leftover military parts. He’s been a crop duster and traffic reporter and has flown banners at the beach. But it’s what he does these days in a helicopter—back flips, 360-degree rolls, and a heart-stopping combination known as the Chuckcilvak—that has earned him daredevil status.



The future is likely to find Chuck hovering upside-down in the Red Bull helicopter—“I’ve pretty much figured out the mechanics, I just need to convince the pilot,” he says. Whatever we catch him doing next, one thing is certain: The sky is the limit.

Master of His Art

The International Council of Air Shows presents the award each year to the performer or air show act that has best demonstrated those qualities by which Art Scholl himself set the standard for all other performers to try to follow.

Chuck is the only FAA-certified helicopter stunt pilot and is a master at making a helicopter do things ‘it isn't supposed to do’. He taught himself how to fly the aerobatic routine he performs at air shows in the Red Bull helicopter and now has 23 years and over 17,000 hours of experience.

Rated by many as the most talented air show pilot of his generation, Art Scholl was a renowned aerobatic pilot and consummate air show performer. Scholl flew before an estimated audience of around 80 million people over 20 years and he appeared in over 200 films, documentaries and television commercials.



The Selection Committee are therefore tough to impress; just to be in contention for this award, the nominee must fulfill a number of specific criteria, such as: What does the performer do and how has he structured his act to improve its entertainment value? How has the candidate distinguished and differentiated himself from other, more traditional air show performers? What has the candidate done to improve and increase the overall level of showmanship in the air show community? Does the candidate deserve to be recognized in the same context as Art Scholl and the 22 past recipients of this award?

More than 1,500 members of the aviation community were in attendance in Las Vegas at the awards banquet following the International Council of Air Shows’ annual convention on December 9 to witness Chuck receiving his award. His acceptance speech was rounded off with an enthusiastic exclamation of ‘Yeah Baby’, to the delight of the audience.


Helicopters Upside Down?

How Do Helicopters Fly Upside Down?Vizualize Prior to the early 1960s, a suggestion that a helicopter could fly upside down was likely to generate more laughs than serious consideration. However, Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) changed that thinking with its B0-105 "rigid rotor" design. This aircraft was originally developed to meet West German requirements for its military's speedy new Light Observation Helicopter (LOH). To resolve engineering issues associated with power-to-weight constraints, MBB re-engineered a portion of the rotor hub assembly by removing the hinges that helped control and connect the main blades to the aircraft's power shaft.

Semi-Rigid

Semi-rigid assemby: Robinson HelicopterPrior to the BO-105, all helicopters utilized what were referred to as semi-rigid rotor systems. In this configuration, the main rotor blades were connected to a central swashplate by articulating hinges that allowed each blade to flap up under power, while also allowing the blades to move fore and aft to accommodate for the lead or lag. As an assembly the system was heavy, and added significant maintenance complexity.

Rigid

While the original design requirements for the new helicopter were being published, a host of new high-strength, low-weight composite products were beginning to enter the commercial aerospace market. It occurred to MBB that if it could integrate these products within its helicopter, it would be able to generate a significant performance advantage. One of the engineering focus areas was the hefty nature of the hinged rotor assembly and accordingly, it designed and produced a new "hingeless" configuration that was stronger than the original, at a significantly lower weight.



Flopping, Not Flying

Once the aircraft was fully certified as a hingless system throughout its nominal flight regime, the MBB test community decided to see what else it could do with the aircraft and its new system. Since it was clear that the configuration allowed for significant strength under power, it followed that, since the blades were a part of the fully integrated central hub, the aircraft could actually roll inverted without having the blades fold up. The first time one of MBB's pilots took off to attempt the maneuver, there was probably some concern, but the aircraft's roll performance was acceptable at the end of the day. The only downside was that since the aircraft initially carried asymmetric blades it tended to fall, or "flop," through the roll, rather than producing a well-carved rotation. Once the MBB team mounted symmetric blades, the tendency to flop through was nearly entirely eliminated and the aircraft simply just became more and more aerobatic.



The Past Becomes Today

Between the mid-sixties and 1991, when the BO-105 production line was finally closed in favor of a newer light helicopter variant, the aircraft and its rigid-rotor design became one of the most flown and purchased aircraft in history. The helicopter became a favorite among military aerobatic teams along with various commercial airshow teams. Of these, the Red Bull Aerobatic Team is probably best known. Every weekend in the summer, its blue and red helos pirouette across the sky doing seemingly impossible maneuvers.

The Future

As a result of the BO-105 and its original design nearly all military helicopters carry rigid-rotor systems today. The innovation has spawned a host of new ancillary systems including; bent-tipped blades for better speed, better all-round flight characteristics, greater lifting capacities and, of course, more complex aerobatics. In fact, the ability to roll inverted in military helicopter operations has engendered entirely new doctrinal thinking throughout the military helicopter community.source:redbull/youtube/rickcarlton/ehow/

2009 Camping World Truck Series at Phoenix

TRUCKS: Harvick Wins, Hornaday Clinches Written by: Tom Jensen
Avondale, AZ

Kevin Harvick won the battle Friday night, and Ron Hornaday Jr. won the war.

Harvick won Friday night’s Lucas Oil 150 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Phoenix International Raceway, while Hornaday, who drives a Kevin Harvick Inc.-owned truck, clinched his record fourth Truck Series championship with a fourth-place finish behind his boss, Kyle Busch and Aric Almirola.

As evenings go, this one couldn’t have gone better for Harvick, though it sure didn’t seem like it would be early on.

Johnny Sauter started from the pole in his Fun Sand Chevrolet Silverado, and was immediately challenged by Harvick’s Longhorn Chevy. But Harvick got loose and quickly fell back, spinning in oil coming out of Turn 4 and hitting the No. 15 Graceway Toyota Tundra of Aric Almirola to bring out a caution on Lap 8.

Soon after the Lap 13 restart, a familiar face was out front — Kyle Busch’s No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota, winner the last five times Busch has raced it.

On Lap 34, Brad Sweet spun his Great Clips Toyota at the entrance of Turn 3 to bring out the second caution of the evening. That sent the field down pit road, Hornaday earning a penalty for refueling before the catchcan was installed on
the truck. Hornaday, who had been running third behind Busch and Sauter, rejoined the race in 21st place, as Busch, Colin Braun and Stacy Compton led.

Shortly after the green flag flew on Lap 39, Almirola was back up to second to make it 1-2 for truck owner Billy Ballew. And on Lap 44, it was Almirola’s turn to lead as he blew by Busch, who took only fuel on his stop while Almirola took fuel and tires.

At Lap 50, the one-third mark in the race, the top five was Almirola, Busch, Harvick, Sauter and Braun, with Hornaday 16th. Twenty laps later, Harvick and Sauter both went past Busch to take second and third, respectively.

The top three remained unchanged at the halfway point, with Almirola 3.952 seconds ahead of Harvick. Championship protagonists Matt Crafton and Hornaday were fifth and 14th, respectively.

By Lap 88, though, Hornaday was up to 10th, putting himself in a better position to clinch the championship.

Wheeler Boys stalled on Lap 90 to bring out the third caution of the evening and setting up what was expected to be the final pit stop of the evening for most of the leaders. Almirola held the lead through two rounds of pit stops, followed by Harvick, Busch, Mike Bliss and Mike Skinner.


But the key was that Hornaday moved up to seventh, one spot ahead of Crafton, who had a dropped lugnut on his second pit stop.

The green flew on Lap 96, and a lap later, it was Harvick to the lead ahead of the two Billy Ballew Toyotas. On Lap 98, Busch moved by his teammate for second place behind Harvick. But three laps later, Almirola retook second.

With 30 laps to go, Tim George Jr. crashed to bring out another caution.

On the Lap 127 restart, Harvick led Almirola, Busch, Hornaday and Bliss, with Crafton in eighth. Busch quickly moved up to second, but Hornaday already was easing well ahead.

Then, Kevin Conway cracked the wall on Lap 134 after contact from Crafton, bringing out the fifth caution of the evening. Crafton was seventh at this point, but still behind Harvick.

The track went green with 11 laps to go, Busch putting the pressure on Harvick immediately.

With five laps to go, James Buescher crashed in between Turns 3 and 4, setting up a green-white-checkered finish and another chance for Busch to get past Hornaday.

But although Busch got close to Harvick on the restart, he could not get past, as Harvick drove to victory and Hornaday drove to a spot in history with his fourth series championship.




TRUCKS: Hornaday A Worthy Champion Written by: Tom Jensen

Hornaday became just the fourth four-time champion in one of NASCAR’s top three divisions Friday night, with a fourth-place finish in the Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix International Raceway. In the process, at the ripe old age of 51, he also become the oldest champion in a top NASCAR division.

It was a moment of supreme triumph for Hornaday, who previously won Truck Series titles in 1996, ’98 and 2007 and narrowly missed last season, when he lost by a mere 7 points to Johnny Benson.

In 24 races this season, Hornaday has amassed impressive numbers, with four poles, six victories, 15 top-five and 19 top-10 finishes.

More than that, though, the 51-year-old California native has created a body of work over his career that’s earned him a place with NASCAR’s greats and the respect of his fellow drivers.

There are 45 Truck Series victories in 249 starts on Hornaday’s resume, and now, of course, the four titles.

“I think if you look at just the Truck Series alone, he'll go down in history as probably the best, the greatest ever,” said Jimmie Johnson,
who himself is pursuing a fourth NASCAR championship. “When you look at what he has done in the sport in general, from Winston West racing and the late models on the West Coast all the way through Truck, Cup and Nationwide, he has done it all and was very competitive in all of those series.”

But as much as he’s accomplished on the track, what Hornaday’s accomplished off the track is equally impressive.

In the Hornaday household, the family’s well worn black leather couch doubled as a bed for many an aspiring racer.

Johnson, of course, is a California native like Hornaday and Hornaday’s boss, Kevin Harvick, who won Friday night’s race. According to Johnson, Hornaday’s generosity and willingness to help young racers is well known to other drivers.

“I think his legacy is going to be better defined as time goes on, but he's going to be known for more than just what he has done in the Truck Series,” Johnson said of Hornaday. “I see guys today that talk about late models that he built for them. … There are so many people that you affect and touch and work with over time, that I think Ron ... Ron will be known as the greatest ever … but he has done so much more. I think people that are close to him respect him more for the man he is than just what he has accomplished in a car.”

Harvick said that Hornaday is still active helping other drivers. “I don’t think that’s quit,” said Harvick of Hornaday and Hornaday’s wife, Lindy. “You go over there and there’s still a lot of people that they nurture and their house is always open. It’s always been that way. What you see is what you get with Ron and Lindy and the whole family. It’s always been one big family and if you want to be a part of it, then come on over. That’s just the way they’ve always been.”

As for Hornaday, he was typically modest about his accomplishment. Asked how he felt, the first thing he said was that he was still racing hard for the owner’s championship in the Truck Series, where the Kevin Harvick Inc. No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado is 60 points ahead of Billy Ballew’s No. 51 Toyota that Kyle Busch has driven for much of the season.

“It’s not over by far,” Hornaday said. “We’re racing Kyle Busch for owner’s points and that’s the true goal. It shows how great our team is and Kyle’s been really running strong. He’s got what, six, seven wins this year? So we’re going to do everything we can to hold him off.”

And thing that Hornaday seemed happiest about with his fourth championship was that it broke a tie with his old nemesis and friend Jack Sprague, as three-time champions. But more than that, Hornaday said he hoped to see Sprague back racing one day.

“I’ve got one up on Sprague, that’s all that counts,” laughed Hornaday. “ … I told Sprague, ‘Now you’ve got to come
back and try to get a fourth one and keep me racing. … It’s been a fun battle with Jack and I wish he was still out here.”

But on this night, and for the foreseeable future, Hornaday’s accomplishments stand alone, as they should.

“It’s been fun,” said Hornaday. “And we’re not done. As long as Kevin and Delana will still have me, we’re going to win some more.”

Danica Sue -- how will she do?

by Darrell Waltrip
Legendary stock car driver Darrell Waltrip, winner of 84 career NASCAR Cup Series races and three-time champion, serves as lead analyst for NASCAR on FOX.
Updated: November 13, 2009,


Folks, you have to admit that the news of Danica Patrick running some NASCAR races is pretty darn exciting. This young lady creates a stir wherever she goes and whatever she does. At this point in her career she probably could have landed a ride in Formula One if she so desired because of how popular she is.

In today's economy it is all about putting fans in the stands, and she can do that in spades. So you tell me, what sanctioning body wouldn't be thrilled to have her? The Indy Racing League has really capitalized on her popularity. She is clearly the biggest star in that series.


I'll admit, when the news broke that she had a real interest in NASCAR, it made me skeptical. She was in the midst of contract negotiations with Andretti Racing, so I figured from a business standpoint she was using the possibility of coming to NASCAR as leverage within those negotiations.

I get asked every day now from folks how I think she will do over here. I have to be a realist, just like she obviously has to as well. Now back in his hey-day, Dean Martin had a song called "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue." Now the opening lyric goes Five foot two, eyes of blue; But oh what those five foot could do.

Now I have been around NASCAR most of my life and I have never driven an Indy car, but have a pretty good understanding of them. The dry weight of an IndyCar is 1,525 lbs. That does not include the driver or the fuel. They have onboard telemetry. They live by that telemetry. They are agile and quick. The driver and the team have the ability to make adjustments to the car while it is actually racing.

Those are all things we don't have in NASCAR. The driver is the on-board telemetry. That's part of the learning curve she is facing. Our cars are big and heavy. They are 3,500 lbs. They have a limited amount of downforce with pretty small tires for a car that heavy. With the speeds they hit at all the tracks we go to, they are simply a handful.

Our top stars in NASCAR today will tell you the Car of Tomorrow is the hardest car ever to drive. It's the hardest car for a crew chief to figure out. So when I hear stock car guys saying how difficult this car is to drive, well it makes me wonder how Danica at 5-foot-2 and 100 lbs will handle one of our big old heavy tanks. Now that's not a slam at her, it is just a fact. Our cars take a lot of effort and anticipation.

It's just such a transition and learning curve. Look at Sam Hornish Jr. He's had some good races, but frankly he's had some pretty darn bad ones too. Folks, he is a former IRL IndyCar Series champion. Look at my neighbor Dario Franchitti. When he came over to NASCAR, I figured he had as good a chance of anybody to make it. But he couldn't unfortunately. He struggled and then got hurt in a Nationwide Series race that put him even further behind. So he went back to the IRL. Well look what happened this year? He's the new IRL champion.


Maybe our cars, since they are such a handful to drive, teach them even better finesse and car control. So maybe it is easier to go from a stock car to an Indy Car instead of vice versa.

The other thing to remember is that Danica can't simply show up at Daytona next February and drive a Cup car in the 500. It's a NASCAR rule that you have to run the superspeedways of Daytona or Talladega in another series first and be observed by NASCAR officials. Now she could go to Daytona and run an ARCA race or even a Nationwide race but she can't run the 500 until she is observed by NASCAR. They simply want to verify that she is qualified to handle our style of cars at those speeds before they allow her in a Cup car at those tracks.

Being the star she is and the following she has, it would be interesting to see her run an ARCA or Nationwide race. Think about what that does to shine light on either or both of those series if she were to do that.

The thing that has to bring her comfort is that Rick Hendrick will be around. When he's around and looking over everyone's shoulder, well things tend to go smoother. That is about the best insurance policy anyone can have. He has a way of making sure you have all the right equipment and even more so, the right people around you. If you don't believe me, go ask Tony Stewart.

At the end of the day, I still believe coming over here is going to be a physical and mental test for her. The pressure of her running both the IRL and NASCAR events is going to be tough. The demands on her time over here from the media and more importantly the fans are going to take its toll.

This isn't a slam at the IRL but the pressure on a NASCAR driver is much great. We run 36 points races plus a handful of non-point events while the IRL runs 17 events. Our races are much longer too. Granted, she hasn't gotten to the Cup level yet, but sure the anticipation is there and these longer races will factor in.

I just keep doing the math and I keep looking at the challenges she is facing. It's simply going to be difficult at best for her to get comfortable, go through the learning curve and have success over here. It is one thing to be a big fish in a big pond, but it's another to be little fish in a big pond.

You always have to remember that you have to perform in NASCAR, get results and put numbers up on the board. In the IRL, Danica has done OK. To come over here and not be able to deliver the results is a risk/reward she is going to have to seriously consider. There's also the danger of being over-exposed attempting to run both series'.

She and her management team have to take a long, hard look at this because let's face it, there is a lot more at stake here than just money. Obviously if all goes well, her marketability can go even higher than it is now, but what if it doesn't go well? If trying to do both series' is too much and she is only mediocre doing both, then was the risk worth it?

There's simply going to be a lot of challenges, but I for one would like to see her pull it off. I would like to see her be successful because it would be good not only for her, but for our sport as well. But again, if I was 5-foot-2 and 100lbs, well it sure sounds like someone that could slide right down into an IndyCar pretty darn easy but to climb through the window of one of our big ol' tanks, well not so much.

Danica Patrick 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Is it possible that Danica Patrick just keeps getting hotter with every Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue spread? Quite possibly. But if not, I choose to believe it anyway, and just go with it. Yes, I’m delusional that way. Speaking of delusional, what are the chances that I’ll bump into Danica Patrick in a crowded bar and she comes over to hit on me? I say it’s about 50-50. I’m really dashing and junk in a dark room. Or at least, that’s what Ed tells me, and Ed never lies about such things. Anyhoo. Here’s Danica Patrick back in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. I know the whole draped over the car in a bikini is to associate her with her professional of car racing, although I don’t know why, cause the woman is just flat out hot, car racing or not.

Bonhomme wins Red Bull Air Race Porto

Britain’s Paul Bonhomme won a thrilling Red Bull Air Race today in front of a record-breaking crowd of 720,000 in Porto to widen his lead to 4 points over defending champion Hannes Arch of Austria. Australian rookie Matt Hall took a sensational 3rd place, the first podium of his career, and jumped from 5th to 3rd in the overall championship.

Bonhomme stopped the clock in 1:09.23 on his final run through the 6.6-km course set up through 17 Air Gates on the Douro River under brilliant blue skies in the coastal Portuguese city to beat Arch by 0.94 seconds and Hall by 2.00 seconds. It was the second 2009 win for Bonhomme, who now has 55 championship points compared to 51 for Arch. Hall has 33 points and has overtaken both Nicolas Ivanoff of France and Mike Mangold of the United States on the strength of his stirring performance.

“Thank you Porto,” said a delighted Bonhomme upon hearing over the radio that he had won the tight battle. “It’s a beautiful city and we love it here,” he added. The British ace also became the first pilot to win more than one race this year but quickly warned the championship was far from over – he saw it slip out of his hands in the final race of 2007 and 2008. “I’ve been in this situation before. Four points is not a lot when there are 13 points available to the winner. It will be ‘all-guns-blazing’ for Barcelona.”

Arch had been leading this year’s championship until the fourth round in Budapest, when the Austrian failed to get on the podium for the first time in over a year with a disappointing fourth place. Arch came to Porto looking to grab the lead back from Bonhomme. He stumbled in Qualifying on Saturday in front of a crowd of 200,000, finishing ninth after hitting a pylon and had to watch Bonhomme win an extra point awarded to the fastest Qualifier. But Arch bounced back in style on Sunday despite the intense pressure, putting in one brilliant run after another to advance to a Final 4 showdown against Bonhomme, Hall and Hungary’s Peter Besenyei.

“After qualifying yesterday I nearly gave up and said ‘okay I have to fly cautious’,” said Arch. “But that doesn’t fit my style. I have to try to be the fastest. I’ll go to the final race in Barcelona with the same mindset: attacking and giving Paul a hard time. I think Paul is already feeling the pressure he’ll be under. The Barcelona track is better suited to my plane.”

Hall, a former RAAF fighter pilot, was thrilled to become the first rookie to win a spot on the podium after he had come so close in his first two races, taking 5th place in Abu Dhabi and San Diego. After slipping to 7th in both Windsor and Budapest, Hall was determined to focus on flying clean and eliminating errors and it showed on Sunday. “It’s something I didn’t expect,” he said. “People had been saying I’d get on the podium here. But to actually follow through and do it is amazing.”

Porto was a disappointing race for Americans Kirby Chambliss and Michael Goulian. Chambliss was forced to retire with engine problems despite posting the fastest time of the day in the Top 12 placing him 8th. Goulian, who won the first race of his career in Budapest last time out, fell to 9th place. Mangold, the 2007 champion having a remarkably consistent year, salvaged some U.S. pride by taking 5th place, which leaves him 4th overall.

Two other rookies had promising results in Porto. Matthias Dolderer of Germany took a solid sixth place and Japan’s Yoshi Muroya got 10th place after taking a career-high 4th in Qualifying on Saturday.

The 2009 Red Bull Air Race World Champion will be decided at the season finale in Barcelona, Spain on 3/4 October.

Onboardz Goes Airborne

Onboardz Cams Go Airborne w/ Local Female Stunt Pilot For A Look Into The Extreme World Of Aerial Acrobatics...

Our 1st encounter w/the extreme sport of aerial stunts came late last year when we were introduced to a young female stunt pilot who is also a flight instructor,wife & mother...Chari Wroolie, the young mother of 3 is a dedicated flyer and stunt pilot.

Below is some of the onboard footage we got from that flight, cam set-up was about 3 hours, as you have no 2nd chance we positioned cams in areas available to mount and really had to mount them w/extra caution w/ speeds over 140 mph and G-forces topping 4-G's there is no room for error on the cam set-up...The Stunt Plane is a Citabria..,& Chari & her husband keep it top notch shape...

The plane itself mainly consist of a very strong painted type fabric pulled over what I believe is a wooden frame, there is very little metal on this plane making camera mounting a bit of a challenge, you may notice in the video the fabric rippling in the wind on the wings and body...This makes it very light weight and vesatile. Perfect for performing aerial stunts.

We were invited back earlier this month to rehook up w/Chari and try some different camera locations,which are very limited on this plane due to mainly consisting of fabric, but we found a few new locations to try and test. Ran into 1 problem w/cam 3, with a power cable, so we had to cut out alot of cam 3 footage on this test,but have corrected that problem and look forward to the next filming session..Below is footage from our last testing session earlier this month...

All Stunts are preformed in a controlled airspace know as an "aerial stunt box" over southern california. We hope to film again soon w/Chari & may possibly be able to use another plane to film from, for an even better perpective, of her stunts, we would fly around the stunt box as she does the stunts and this would be great for editing in w/onboard footage for more of a complete video view of the great aerial stunts she is doing..

Female pilots have come along way since the early days of flying and Chari is continuing this long tradition of female aviators...

Onboardz would like to "Thank" Chari, her husband and everyone involved in getting us started w/ filming in extreme avaition and look forward to doing much more with extreme aviation filming..
