It varies for all blades collectively as you pull up or push down on the collective. and alternates from side-to-side and front-to back as you move the cyclic. If you move the cyclicto the right it decreases the angle of attack on the right side and increases the angle of attack on the left side. Since the right side loses lift and the left side gains lift the helicopter will bank and turn to the right.

The angle of attack of all the blades at hover will be about zero.

Where is the centre of pressure on the main rotor blade of a helicopter?

The center of pressure on a helicopter rotor blade typically varies along the length of the blade and is usually located about 25-30% of the chord length from the leading edge. It moves with changes in angle of attack and airspeed to maintain stability and control of the rotor system.


How does the helicopter blade works at when takeoff?

During takeoff, the helicopter blade applies lift by generating upward airflow which creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom of the blade. This pressure difference causes the blade to move upward, lifting the helicopter off the ground. The angle of attack and rotation speed of the blades also play a significant role in generating lift for takeoff.

Why as density altitude increase reduce speed of helicopter?

To compensate for the decreased air density the rotor blades need a greater angle of attack, pushing the retreating blade closer to stall(reducing the maximum airspeed)


How does a helicopter pilot increase the lift?

A helicopter pilot can increase lift by increasing the pitch angle of the main rotor blades or by increasing the collective pitch angle, which changes the angle of attack for all blades simultaneously. This increases the helicopter's vertical thrust and lift.


Why do helicopters make noise?

The source of the noise made by Helicopters are created by several things. The engines can make noise just like any airplane. The transmissions can make a high frequency noise. The destinctive sound of helicopters is the "whop-whop-whop" it makes. This is caused by the rotor blades as it rotates.One reason for this sound is one blade passes and creates a vortex(or whirling tunnel of air) and then the next blade slaps this vortex.Another reason is that each blade must change pitch angle as it rotates around the central mast. When the blade is on one side of the helicopter, it has a high pitch and creates a high lift and therefore a large turbulent vortex. Then as it rotates to the other side of the helicopter, the blade must decrease its pitch angle, sometimes to almost zero angle. This rapid change in high blade angle and low angle causes this blade sounds.newtest3
