In before PMs

Are the helicopters flown by the Umbrella Corporation in Resident Evil 4 (the film) real, or CG enhanced artifacts? Because they were cooooooooool.

In before =5, this is a military hardware issue!

I couldn't find a picture of of one from the movie, but they looked like a cross between an Osprey and a stealth fighter.

I swear that didn't say film when I looked at it.

If it looks like a V22 Osprey but isn't then its not real unfortunatly, as thats the only aircraft of its type in existance currently. There is a quad rotor cargo variant under design at the moment though.

The thing is a beast, I want one!

That looks like the one! In the film they were painted black, and they had very sharp noses. They may have altered the nose for the film.

But pretty much everything else was the the same and WOW were they impressive. Is that some kind of jet mounted in the swivelable posts underneath the two main rotors?

Nope. it's all propeller-driven. Propellers swivel up for take-off and landing like a helicopter; once at altitude they swivel forward like a prop plane.

Technically you are both right. Thats actually an axial flow turboprop jet engine.
Screenshot


The propellor attaches to the shaft to the left there, and serves the same function as the primary intake fan on your typical bypass turbofan jet engine. The air is then compressed further by a stack of turbine blades called a compressor, fuel is injected, the entire air fuel mass is ignited, then ran through a turbine designed to scavenge power from the exhaust, which in turn turns the compressor. THe thrust exhausts out the back and ads to the total trhust of the engine.

And which GE engine is that?
