Lots of pilots will tell you that the B-2B is the best flying helicopter ever designed. Here are some of the reasons why. But, don't take our word for it. Check it out for yourself.

Start-up

  • No ground resonance.
Transition
  • The throttle-collective synchronizer is excellent
  • Practically no "burble" or "shudder" as the Brantly B-2B SLIPS through translational lift.
Horizontal
Flight
  • While you're flying the B-2B, look at the cyclic stick and notice how still it is. There are no control feedback pulsations.
  • A fore/aft trim system comes as standard equipment but some pilots don't feel the need to ever use it.
  • Excellent visibility allows the pilot to see where he's going while rolling into a steep turn
  • The B-2B uses a fuel-injected engine so there's no need to concern yourself with carburetor heat. One less thing to monitor means a more enjoyable flight!!
  • Cyclic and collective controls are direct connections with bell-cranks and push-pull tubes. Tail rotor control is with bell-cranks and control cables. The "flight control feel" is positive and responsive!
  • No teeth-rattling vibrations when flying at Vne (Velocity never to exceed).
  • Fundamentally, the Brantly B-2B is responsive and smooth flying by design.

Applications

The B-2B is a stable platform with excellent visibility which makes it an excellent choice for any of the following applications:

  • Aerial photography
  • Recreational flying
  • Ranch / Farm management
  • Herd management
  • Wildlife management
  • Flight school training
  • Pipeline surveying
  • etc...
Landing
  • The landing skids are equipped with oleo struts (shock absorbers) that help make a smooth landing quite easy.
  • When starting up or shutting down in windy conditions, the Brantly main rotor is not as sensitive to "blade-slap" or "droop stop pounding" as other rotor designs.
