I'm sure there are some others here who know a lot more about helicopter mechanics than I do (DerAdler comes to mind), but I believe the difference between a helicopter that can be looped and one that can't has to do with the rotor system; I believe helicopters with an articulated rotor system, as opposed to a rigid rotor system, can be looped. Others can correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah you can. There are lots of Helos than can do barrel rolls and loops and everything including: AH-64A Apache, UH-60 Blackhawk, Lynx, Bo 105, Mangusta, etc...

Actually you have it backwards. Helos with a rigid rotor system can perform loops, etc...

Got it; thanks for the clarification. parsifal, if you want to watch a cool helicopter movie and see one get looped, watch "Blue Thunder", with the late Roy Scheider.

Was the Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk the first helicopter capable of performing aerobatics?

I do not know that, but I do not think so either.

Interesting story. I also heard that MI-24 HIND managed to shoot down a F-4 with its gun. True or false?

This Sikorsky S-67 looked cool.

The only place I could think of this happening was in Iraq during the Iraq/ Iran war and I found no evidence of this. Here's some info...

Iranian F-4 Phantom II Units in Combat - Google Book Search

This is the link to the article about the Iraq/Iran war where there is a claim that the Iraqi Mi-24 shot down an Iranian F-4.

Hope the link works
