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
yes,Honda is more reliable than Yamaha..
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.
Streak is more reliable!!
ECC cost more but is more reliable than non-ECC memory. TRUE
more oftenly ... its a plane rather than a car
yes a Honda Accord is more reliable than a Passat. Although Volkswagens are very reliable as well they will cost alot more to fix when they do break down.
