Fogg 427 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Wow that's pretty impressive lift from a non-huge chopper. So how much does a piedy weigh? Link to post Share on other sites
rigger 47 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I believe the lifting capacity of that chopper is between 4-6 tonnes. Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I believe the lifting capacity of that chopper is between 4-6 tonnes. What! I struggle to believe that. Even the most modern Chinook can only lift 8-9 tons. Link to post Share on other sites
eruptn 95 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 It looks like a Bell 204/205 ... the civilian version of the Iroquios They can lift about 2200kgs Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 That sounds more like it. But even that's impressive. Link to post Share on other sites
