BeauWessex: VTOL autogyro intended for special operations

Will die without understanding this world.

Attack helo with:
-Vestigial wings intended to carry weapons or tanks.
-Jet based in Pegasus that moves rotors too. Nose intake. Maybe 2 or 4 swivelling nozzles.
-Aden cannon ventral pods.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

There wouldn't be much room for the crew in there, the fuselage would be stuffed with Pegasus!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Hi, PR19_Kit

IMHO there is room for a Pegasus, but I was wrong adding windows to cabin. Anyway I was thinking that something like a down sized and down rated Pegasus will be enough.



In this image, scale is correct and Pegasus is not down sized

Nicely done.  :thumbsup:

I'm glad I'm not the crew though, the Pegasus turbine is almost exactly in line with those guy's vital parts.  ;D ;D ;D <_< <_<

Land King: land based Sea King (with bits of Wessex)

Decals my @r$e!

I like the concept of a 'Land King'. A pity the FAA called theirs 'Commandos' really.

Sud Bi-Bastan S-58, two coupled Bastan VI turboshafts each of 950 shp.  First flew 5 October 1962, the same day as the RAF's first coupled-Gnome Wessex!

Conversion kits were to have been manufactured along with similar packs for the Piasecki 44 / H-21, but ALAT was more interested in the forthcoming Puma.

Brief but revealing view of the US Navy's twin-T58 HSS-1F from 45 seconds into this video, including details of the access doors:

Quite different to the Wessex installation that used the same basic engine.  The HSS had them mounted horizontally and both exhausted to port.

A very simple Wessex/S-58 whiff, which might slip unnoticed past many a JMN, is to cut a second door into the port side.

I know it's probably wrong sizewise, but the top one makes me think of a Westland Wesminster ? (although having just looked at photos the tail-boom is 'plumper' more of a Blackhawk shape?
Oh to be whiffing again :-(
