Augusto Cicare helicopter History And Timeline Page 2
Derived from the CH-6, with improvement in reliability and performance. This model carried out flight demonstrations at Recife, Brazil on the year 1991. On 1992 the CICARE CH-7 was presented in the "Ultra-lights International Meeting" at Bassano del Grappa, Italy and in the Oshkosh Air Show at the USA.

It is the logical consequence of the success of the CH-7. This prototype is a Very light, two-seat two-engine helicopter. This helicopter allows flying at the minimum power speed, with only one operative engine.
With the purpose of supporting Mr. Cicaré in the organization and commercialization of his ingenious inventions, CICARE HELICOPTEROS S.A. was formed; where Mr. Augusto U. Cicaré is Director and technical responsible.
A simulator-trainer of helicopter flight.

To give the sport flight a higher reliability, Augusto created an ultra-light, single-seat, twin-engine helicopter that could land with only one operative engine, taking the safety to the first stage.
The Professional Council of the Aeronautic and Spatial Engineering conferred to Augusto the Honorary Title of Aeronautic and Spatial Engineer, for being a reference in the field of Aeronautic Engineering all over the world. The name "Augusto Ulderico Cicaré" appears in the outstanding aeronautical encyclopedias and manuals of every country.
Counter-rotating single-seat twin-engine helicopter prototype with an absolutely novel control system.
Augusto Cicare flying his design the CH-11. The prototype is powered by a Rotax 582 with the tail boom there only to maintain the proper CG during testing.
The airframe for the prototype is based on the CH-6, CH-7 Angel and Kompress as he using for CH-11 Coaxial pictured here. This way he avoids major surgery on the frame or the additional expense just to create a new airframe that would fix the CG problem created by removing the tail boom.
So, when viewing this foto, forget the tail boom since anti torque is not needed. However, if U look closely, Senor Cicare has a little right peddle pushed in.
To maintain a heading or to turn the nose left or right, pushing in one for the peddles caused a difference in-between the normally uniform pitch setting between the two sets of counter rotating rotor systems. Simple, but I am sure not an easy task to accomplish on two rotating disks at 5oo + - RPMs or so, in the opposite directions.
Counter-rotating single-seat twin-engine helicopter with novel control system. Was given to CITEFA (Argentine Ministry of Defense, Institute of Scientific and Technical Investigation of the Armed Forces), for the development of a Remote Controlled Vehicle for multiple uses.
Augusto participated with the simulator CICARE SVH-3 in the invention contest "Ladislao José Biró", under the auspicious of the National Institute of the Industrial Property (INPI) and of the Argentinean Association of Inventors. Augusto won the first prize in the Mechanics Category and the CICARE SVH-3 was selected as the best national invention of the year, with the recognition of the Inventors International Federation (IFIA) and of the World Organization of the Intellectual Property (OMPI). That way he represented Argentina at the International Exposition of Inventions at Geneva, Switzerland from April 30th to May 9th of 1999 obtaining the gold medal of the "P" Category (Aeronautics, Nautics, Vehicles and Accessories).
