Skidz Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi folks ! I'm looking for any animated training material that I could use for groundschool. A lot of the stuff I have is a little dated. I'm looking for stuff that might show things like the Coriolis effect, coning, engine combustion process (piston and turbine), etc. etc. I have some old (circa '60's and '70's ) wind tunnel videos and such, but as I said, some of this stuff is so old and cheesy it's almost embarrasing to use...

Ryan Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Here's a site with basic turbine animations... Turbine One from P&W right Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 We had a coriollis one in my gs, as well as some other stuff that could pertain to helicopters as well as planks. Come to think of it, it wasnt an animation, just a scan straight outta from the ground up. Getting into instructing now skidz? Or just a groundschool.

MSAddict Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) I run a New Media company and was wondering how much interest there is for animated material. I'm also looking to start training in May (in the US) as a CFII. Change of career! Is this something people would pay for? It would be available on DVD and the Net. I've only seen the Sporty's stuff - which is fairly basic. Just a thought at the moment... Edited January 8, 2006 by MSAddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I think if you sold the animation to someone making a new video as a ground school aid you might have a hit. There are a lot of people these days who know squat about engines... turbines especially. Could do a bunch of animations to help visualize what makes helicopters fly. Things like Coriolis, Bernoulli's Law, Gyroscopic Precession, Rotor Head assembly, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
