Due to the complexity of a helicopter, it requires MORE maintenance than a fixed wing aircraft of a similar size. Having flown both, I would consider a helicopter less reliable,
Most planes can travel much farther than most helicopters. A plane is streamlined, a helicopter tends to be boxy. The streamlined plane travels much further on a gallon of gas than the boxy helicopter.
A fast aeroplane will be faster than any helicopter, but a fast helicopter can be faster than a slow aeroplane.
No. A helicopter is not faster than an airplane. A helicopter could fly at about 400-650 kph. But a plane could fly much faster than that.
no a helicopter is not a airplane because helicopter lifts but a plane takes off and a helicopters propeller is huger than a planes
One of the biggest contributing factors to a helicopter accident or crash is inclement weather and wind. Because of the size of a helicopter it can experience more turbulence than a plane. The second most common factor in helicopter accidents is malfunctioning instruments in the cockpit.
I am really not sure, i would think that helicopter school would approach similar stuff like normal flying but they would have to teach you more stuff than normal flying because they are different
A helicopter is rather designed for hovering than fast moving. That is why they are used in rescuing and other purposes. A jet engine plane moves fast in the forward direction and they are designed for fast transport.
yes,Honda is more reliable than Yamaha..
Streak is more reliable!!
more oftenly ... its a plane rather than a car
ECC cost more but is more reliable than non-ECC memory. TRUE
