K-Max Titan: The first commercial heavy-lift helicopter with no pilot

Kaman Aerosystems For about a decade now, Kaman s K-Max intermeshing rotor helicopter has been flying unmanned cargo missions for US forces in Afghanistan. Now, the K-Max Titan is becoming the world s first heavy-lift unmanned helicopter for the commercial market, having taken its first flight last week. The K-Max is a heavy hauler in the sky, starting life back in 1994 as a logging helicopter and carrying up to 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) of cargo on the end of a cable and cargo hook. Its design is all about efficient lift; instead of a tail rotor, it rocks two large top rotors side by side, each counteracting the other s torque, timed to miss each other as they spin like the blades of an egg beater. The small cabin seats one, and it s designed to automate as much as possible, so the pilot can keep their hands and feet on the controls at all times.
