New Helicopter Designs

New Helicopter Designs
Looks like the CV-19 or X-21 concept the Army played with back in the 1960's. Wings/Airpower magazine published an article on these some years back. In the article is a series of photographs where the left rear rotor failed causing an inflight breakup and killing the Army crewmembers. I'll dig it out over the weekend. Link..........

The Cars

The Cars

Lotus was founded by the brilliant engineer Colin Chapman and we have always held his principles at the core of everything we do; innovation, performance through light weight, excellent ride and handling and fun to drive.

A hand-built manufacturing process using our innovative aluminium chassis provides an involving and communicative drive. Lightweight materials and finely tuned suspension ensures lightning responsiveness and inspirational handling.

Every modern Lotus embodies these values to create the most pure driving experience available in any car today. These values are now more relevant than ever. Our obsession with low mass ensures that efficient, exhilarating performance will always be the trademark of our cars. Link..........

Benelli's back with a range of new models for 2006. See the real pics here first! ... Scroll down for the full story


Well, the Milan show is just around the corner, and we've just got the first images of the new bikes we'll see there. Benelli is a name many of us thought had bit the dust big time, tripped up by typically Italian financial problems. And although there were ill-founded rumours - printed in Motor Cycle News - of a link-up with TVR, Benelli is now in the hands of a Chinese firm, Qianjiang. And it's Chinese cash that has helped produce the Tornado 1130 pictured here.
It's an easy upgrade - the 1130 motor was already fitted to the firm's TNT naked streetfighter, which shares chassis and frame with the Tornado. But if Benelli can produce big enough numbers, this super-torquey engine could make the difference to the 900 Tornado we've tested previously. And if Benelli can also pin down build quality and electrical issues that dogged previous models, we'll be very happy to see it. Link.......
