No, they are correctly called 'rotor blades'

What is the difference between a helicopter and an airplane?

Helicopters are "rotary wing" aircraft- their wings are the rotor blades. Instead of deriving lift from moving air over the fixed wings of an airplane, a helicopter derives lift by moving the wings through the air.


Difference between helicopter and fixed wing aircraft?

Fixed wing- air is moved past the wings to create lift. Helicopter- the wings (rotor blades) are moved through the air to create lift.


What is a helicopter blade called?

the blade is called rotor bladesThe rotor blades on top are called Main Rotor Blades, because they are the main source of lift for the helicopter. The smaller rotor blades on the tail are called Tail Rotor Blades.

What is the working principle of helicopter?

Helicopters generate lift and thrust through the rotation of its main rotor blades. By changing the pitch of the blades, the helicopter can control its altitude, direction, and speed. Additionally, the tail rotor is used to counteract the torque created by the main rotor to keep the helicopter stable.


What does wing length have to do with helicopter flight?

Wing length doesn't directly affect helicopter flight because helicopters use rotor blades to generate lift, not wings. The length of rotor blades on a helicopter can impact its performance by affecting lift, control, and stability. In general, longer rotor blades can provide more lift and stability, but may also require more power to rotate.
