The Kaman K-MAX has intermeshing rotors eliminating the need for a tail rotor. These opposite-spinning rotors lend the K-MAX a natural tendency to hover, making it more stable. The K-MAX is ideal for ...

To evaluate performance, dispersive and distributive behaviors were analyzed. Trials were conducted on an IM45E mixer and mill using various fill factors, mix times (revolutions), and duplicated for ...

Single-stage blending of natural rubber and high acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) was carried out in an intermeshing rotor internal mixer according to a two-level, two-variable factorial mixing ...

Helicopters are very much the mode of the moment as survey companies start to need long-range VTOL. There are very few meshing rotor machines out there. SDO 50 V2 is a multi-purpose, single engine ...

Can technology advances and new configurations lift rotorcraft out of their niche and into the mainstream of aviation? People have dreamed of taking off and landing vertically for as long as they have ...

The K-MAX uses a unique double rotor system where the two rotors cross each other. Kaman Aerospace calls these "intermeshing rotors." Its opposing rotors eliminate the need for a tail rotor. This ...
