What are the moving things on a helicopter called?
Rotor blades.
How does bernoulli's principle apply to a helicopter?
Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. In a helicopter, the rotor blades create lift by moving through the air at a high speed. This creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom of the blades, generating lift and allowing the helicopter to fly.
Why would a helicopter hover in the same position?
A helicopter hovers in the same position by using its rotor blades to generate lift and counteract gravity. This allows the helicopter to stay in one place without moving forward or backward.
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.
What are the physics of a helicopter I am looking for how the main rotors create lift for the helicopter to take flight?
They work exactly the same as the wing on a fixed-wing aircraft: the shape of the blades creates an air pressure differential between the top and bottom sides, which lifts the aircraft. This differential only exists when the blades are moving through air, so they simply attach the blades to a shaft and spin them rapidly.
How does the helicopter stay stationary in the air?
Two things keep a helicopter flying, and another keeps it flying straight. To take off: 1) The blades are shaped like the wings of an airplane and create a difference in pressure (high underneath the wing, low above). This difference in pressure "pushes" the helicopter upwards (lift). But because of gravity, however, there might not be enough lift to take off from the ground. 2) In order to take off, the blades must rotate at supersonic speeds (to be stronger than gravity's push downwards), this make it possible to gain altitude. To "Fly:" 1) A helicopter's blades in air act like a boat's propeller in water. If the blades rotate at an angle, it will start moving. To make the helicopter hover, the blades must be perfectly straight up. At the same time, the rotating blades make the helicopter itself rotate the other way (about the axis of rotation). In a GPS, the helicopter would not be going anywhere like this (with no angle on the blades), but the Direction at which it is looking will be changing in circles 2) Helicopters need a way to fix this crazy-out-of-control spinning. They can use a tail rotor for this, but they can also use a "twin" set of blades that rotate in opposite directions (counter-rotating blades). With the addition of counter-spinning blades, now the GPS will be pointing at 1 direction. in summary: 1) By keeping the blades rotating fast enough to be lifting with the same force as gravity is pushing down, the altitude is kept the same. 2) By keeping the Blades from spinning at an angle, the Helicopter does not move to the sides. 3) By using a counter-rotating blades set, the helicopter is able to keep looking at one direction. with these 3 things, Helicopter are able to hover in air, and their GPS can be kept and a fixed height, at fixed position on a map, and at a fixed direction.
What can helicopters do that airplanes can't?
Hover in one place. Planes must have air moving over their wings in order to maintain lift. That only happens if the plan is moving. The blades of a helicopter get their lift from the same phenomena, but since they are in circular motion, the helicopter does not have to move horizontally to keep air moving over them. In all fairness, there are some VTOL aircraft that can hover in place but they do it by directing the exhaust from their jets downward or by rotating their wings so that they are getting the same effect as a helicopter.

Why does a helicopter generate static electricity?
Helicopters generate static electricity due to the friction between the rotor blades and the surrounding air. This friction causes a build-up of electric charge on the blades, which can discharge as a spark when the helicopter lands or when personnel come in contact with it. Grounding systems are used to prevent static electricity build-up on helicopters.
How does a helicopter stay in the air?
The source of lift force from the rotor (Rotation of two objects 'blade' creates a lifting force) blades allows the helicopter to stay in one area for extended periods of time. Each rotor blade, whether it is 2 or 7, has the ability to change pitch. This means the blade can rotate so that the nose or leading edge can tilt down or up. If it pitches up, the lift of the blade increases. Collective Controls As the blades rotate it produces lift. The pilot inputs controls that increases the pitch on all the blades at once. All the blades pitch up and produce more lift, so the helicopter rises. Cyclic Controls The pitch of the blades can also be controlled so that the blade pitches UP when it is on one side of the helicopter and pitches DOWN when it is on the other side. As the advancing blade is moving from rear to front, it decreases it Lift. Then as the blade moves to other side, it increases its Lift and pushes the helo through the air. In a simply explanation, this is what causes the helicopter to fly forward. Think of it like someone paddling a canoe. On many helicopters, the input is accomplished through the controls of the Swashplate. Custermen - Worked 11 years at Bell Helicopter.
