- This is K-MAX, an anxiety machine, also known as a synchropter, or, intermeshing-rotor helicopter, which is a synchronized twin-rotor, turning in opposite directions.
This technology was developed by German Anton Flettner in the 1930s.
But what's the magic that prevents the blades from colliding?

Synchropter and coaxial copters are my favorite. The manual blade servos was a great idea. No hydraulics required.
Or tail rotor.
i love this helicopters appearance. it's so odd, and so different, but somehow, so beautiful.
The KMAX blades are not wood. Those were on the earlier HH43. They can contact and wipe across each other if there is too high of a pitch command. That results in mast bumping ,damage and usually replacement. When I quit working on them it costs about 275K per set.
This video is better than most K-max videos
Excellent!
Love this channel and its content
Great video mate. This was the most interesting video I watched all week. Thanks.
Interesting video. No anxiety here, I knew of the Kaman helicopters beforehand, but I didn't know about the inventor's interest in music too. Some people have so much "headspace", it makes me a bit jealous (but still appreciative of their contributions to tech).
Really like your Videos, keep on uploading!
Thanks man
When are they going to invent something that can withstand winds & x-ray through clouds? RIP KOBE, Gianna & Friends 💛💜
Awesome vid ! 🌞
I know it’s probably true, but it seems odd that a tail rotor adds even close to the weight and complexity that a second main (and synchronized) rotor does!
I notice a lot of stick shake in those cockpit videos, is this common in synchro-mesh helicopters?
Nice Video
German engineering is greatest in the world!
Underrated
The answer to the question asked in the title, is answered in the titel as well. It's why they are called SYNCHRO-pter.
they use the same modell next to our home inside of Zürich city to transport the logs from the steep hills.
The Kellett K 10 had blades collide many times, A light in the cockpit lit each time the blades touched... It flickered one too many times canceling the project... The pilots Nopped their way out of town.
I think the rotor blades are made out of wood… and they are nearly $2,000,000. Great job on your video!
New blades are fiberglass the old wood blades were better, Wood tends to dampen vibrations
The question asked in the title is literally answered in the title. Let me ask you this, How does Earth's gravitational force keep the moon from drifting out to space?
Great video! 0:33 there is a misspelling of Paperclip (Papaerclip)
KMAX ❤. It reminds me memories of my Helicopter project lecture back in 2012.
All this time I thought it was luck.
With Absolutely no disrespect in any way. But to me a helicopter is, 3000 moving pieces, flying formation, all looking for a way out!
Did he makes the Husky, the helicopter the Marines used?
Searched for this and accidentally put another o instead of the p and got an entirely different result.
