What happens to the advancing blade of a helicopter?

The "advancing blade" of a helicopter refers to the side of the rotor which moves forward in relation to the fuselage. As each rotor blade makes a full circle around the center, on one side of the swing, it moves forward, and on the opposite side it is moving towards the rear of the helicopter. When the helicopter is moving forward in air, the rotor blades on the advancing side are moving at a higher airspeed than the rotor blades elsewhere. Rotor speed + aircrafts forward airspeed. This results in slightly more lift on that side. Conversely the exact opposite is happening on the other side where you get Rotor speed - aircraft forward airspeed. This creates a tendency for helicopters to want to roll at high airspeed. This is one of the many odd tendencies of rotor aircraft that pilots are constantly adjusting to balance out.


How does the helicopter blade works at when takeoff?

By producing a downward thrust of air suited to push the helicopter upwards. When entering forward flight there is a transition to another set of laws of physics.


What does a helicopter do?

A helicopter hovers, flies forward, backwards, left, and right.


How airplane go forward?

Aeroplanes go forward by the propulsion of the engine. The engine may be of any type. Air is pushed behind and the aeroplane moves forward.


Where does the warm air go after moving over a cold mass?

It keeps moving forward or moves with the cold air it depends


What makes a helicopter move forward?

The main rotor is tilted forward.


How airplane moves in air?

The shape of the wing and the forward speed generates lift and the aircraft rises.


What moves forward in a water wave?

Energy moves forward in a wave.


How does a helicopter move forward?

When the stick is moved by the pilot, it moves an assembly called a swashplate accordingly. The swashplate is at the rotor base. When this moves, it changes the pitch of the rotor blades. As the pitch changes, the orientation of lift produced changes as well. Thus, when the stick is moved forward, the blade pitch is affected by the swashplate to re-orient the lift forward, instead of directly vertical, and the helicoptor is pulled in a forward direction.


Why don't helicopter move forward?

um.... they do


Why Bernoulli's Principle makes an helicopter fly?

A helicopter uses Benoullis principle in the exact same way as an airplane does. A helicopter has a wing just like an airplane's wing. The major difference being that instead of pushing the wing forward through the air, a helicopter swings the wings around above its head.


What is the difference how a helacopter creates lift and an airplane?

They both utilize airflow over an airfoil. The helicopter moves the airfoil (blade) by spinning them, as air passes around the blade it creates lift. An airplane uses thrust from the engines to push the airfoil (wings) forward through the air, the air then flowing over(lower pressure) and under them (higher pressure) produces lift.
