BENDIX K MODEL
Quote:
Vincent Bendix became famous in automotive fields for inventing an automobile starter motor drive and after that, the four wheel automotive brake system. From there he went to manufacturing aircraft instruments and by 1936, he had become very rich and was sponsoring air races and competitions. Originated in 1931,the Bendix Trophy became a highly honored award for aviation excellence. Jimmie Doolittle won the first Bendix race and trophy for his transcontinental flight from California to the Cleveland Air Races at a speed of 223 miles per hour. Other winners for the cross-country flight were such famous aviation figures as Louise Thaden and Jacqueline Cochran.

I thought my detail cut was a bit misleading, because it only showed ONE part of the two rotors

There have been other double-rotor models by Bendix, but none made it to serial production. The Russians however still build their 'copters that way, an older example being called the "Helix" by Nato:

A clever idea, yo do not need a rear rotor to keep the aircraft from spinning, and you have double lift..

indeed! OTHERWISE KNOWN IN NEW GUINEA AS ''THE BALL CUTTER'' reminds ME OF AN OLD GIRLFRIEND!
Quote:
You probably don’t need much explanation as to why the residents of Papua New Guinea call this fish a “ball cutter.” The local fishermen were really worried about the safety of their testicles when they had to get in the water

Funny pick Mr. Aktung.



OK, what is that?

Sorry for the low-quality image, best I could find that wasn't too obvious.
