Super 412

[ForFreeRum]

I just read the Wisk Air press release about their new 412.

 

"Strong: It can lift up to 4500 pounds...."

"Fast: It can travel at 140 kts....."

 

Where can I get a 412 like that! And for only $4M! They must be using some super secret lightweight materials to get light enough to operationally lift right up to the hook limit with enough fuel to actually go somewhere and a pilot on board......wait, maybe that is the 1st automated Bell 412 that does not need a pilot!

 

And flying right at Vne everywhere you go.....awesome. Maybe it has little rocket engines like Airwolf hidden in the engine compartments.......

Gotta sell it somehow i guess. Tough market right now, customers are searching for a bargain all the time since there's machines sitting everywhere. From a cost perspective, the 205 is still better for a charter.

If you want the truth, look in an "airbus" POH, as it will do exactly what it says on the "tin". Unlike the Bell product.
