FS2004/FS9 FIAT 7002 - low quality, beta, version
=================================================
The Fiat 7002 was the first italian helicopter to make use of the 'cold jet'
principle of propulsion. The term 'cold jet' indicates simply that compressed
air from the gas turbine engine is ducted through channels inside the rotor
blades and expelled through nozzles at their tips.
Very little is known about the Fiat 7002 and there are only a couple of b/w
images of poor quality available. Rumor says that there is one standing at an
museum in Rome Italy. It was built in 1961 and was later cancelled.
The Fiat 7002 is a 7 person general purpose helicopter The craft was exceptionally
simple in contruction. The fuselage was build of lightweight sheet, and the standard
cockpit had dual controls plus two separate seats for passengers, and a bench for
three further passengers. For ambulance service the cabin could contain two strechers,
while two extra strechers could be taken outside the cabin.
