Answer That is easy and it is difficult to explain. Each of the helicopter blades act as a wing and produce Lift. The blades have control inputs that rotate it so its angle increases and this increases lift. When the pilot pulls UP on the Collective Controls, this increases the pitch of all the blades at once so all begin to lift together. The helicopter will rise vertically. In order for the helicopter to fly forward, the Cyclic Controls increases the pitch on each blade as it reaches a specific point in its rotation around the Mast. This pulls the aircraft forward. Think of it as rowing a boat by swinging your paddle around your body but only dipping it into the water at one point.

How does the wingspan of a falling helicopter effect the speed?
It wouldn't, the propellers are designed to propel the helicopter off of the ground, thus the word propeller, not to make the helicopter glide. The wings are too thin to hold up a helicopter and that is why they spin to gain ground as well as using kinetic energy to lift up. The propellers would eventually bend or snap if the helicopter would be to fall, the speed of the wind would break or damage the propellers.
How do helicopters show thrust?
Helicopters are notorious for showing downward thrust, prior to lifting off the ground, in a cloud of dust, flattened grass, or in people clutching their hats as they go to or from the helicopter.
How come helicopters cannot fly in storms?
A helicopter cannot fly in a area close to storms like tornadoes or hurricanes. The reason is because the helicopter runs off of a careful balance of the air it is suppressing. If something like a hurricane or tornado are sucking in all the surrounding air, then the tornado couldn't fly. The air being pulled out from the helicopter would cause it to go into a tail spin, and thus smashing into the ground and more than likely killing the pilot and all guests.
How is a helicopter controlled?
The pilot controls the helicopter.
Why do tornadoes stay off the ground?
They don't. By definition, a tornado must be in contact with the ground.
Are rotors used to help lift a helicopter off the ground?
The rotors are used for lift and thrust on a helicopter.
How low can a helicopter go?
with skill as low as a few inches off the ground
How does a helicopter fly without wings?
A helicopter flies do to rotorblades rotating. Most helicopters have two rotorblades, one to lift the helicopter off the ground, and the second, most commonly found on the tail, for stability.
How invented the helicopter and when?
In the 1400's Leonardo invented the "idea" of a helicopter. In 1906 Paul Cornu got a helicopter to hover 3 feet off the ground, but it would not go anywhere. In the 1940's Igor Sikorsky invented a helicopter that would safely fly and hover.

How can a helicopter takeoff ground?
cus it can fly
Where is military helicopter?
In the air or on tthe ground, typically.
What is captive helicopter?
A captive helicopter is a helicopter which is tethered to the ground with a rope, as with a captive balloon. Captive helicopters can be used for the same purposes as captive balloons. They are easier to steer than a regular helicopter.
How do you defeat the helicopter in quantam of solace?
use your full auto gun and aim at the helicopter and kee moving until the helicopter falls to the ground. I did it and completed the level.
How do you land a RC helicopter?
You slowly decrease power by lowering the throttle. Make sure the Helicopter is coming to the ground at a slow pace and gently. Do not rush, because this could cause a faulty landing. Lower the Helicopter to the ground and when it touches, you can cut the power.
Why don't helicopters hane no need of run way to take off?
Because all they need is their main rudder to spin fast enough to get the helicopter off the ground. They need only enough room to spin the rudder and for the helicopter to fit in a space. They don't need to go forward fast to lift off, unlike planes and shuttles.
How much area do you need to rope off to land a helicopter?
Depends how big a helicopter.
