How does a helicopter pilot increase the lift?
Pull the collective up.
When flying a helicopter when would you reduce collective adjust the pedals and adjust the throttle?
Reduce collective will reduce the lift and the helicopter will begin to descend. Reducing the throttle will also reduce the RPM and result in descent of the helicopter. With less torque, the helicopter will begin to spin so the rudder pedals will have to be adjusted to reduce the amount of tail rotor thrust.
What is the steering wheel of a helicopter called?
I believe it is called a collective. Not sure why. Just heard it called that by the pilot out to the rigs
Can the throttle engine power of a helicopter be used interchangedly with the collective?
Not exactly. The collective is actually linked to the throttle, so that pulling up on the collective will also open the throttle more, as ascending requires more power. The link between the collective and the throttle reduces variations in engine RPM. The throttle control on the end of the collective is typically only used to make small adjustments during flight. Hope I've got this right, and that this adequately answers your question.
How does the helicopter get its lifting force?
the helicopter pushes forward when the pilot pushes the cyclic control forward. that rotates the blades forward . while pushing forward on the cyclic, the pilot must also pull up on the collective control. that will add pitch to the blades, thrusting the helicopter forward.
How do you fly a hellacopper?
A "helicopter" is quite difficult to learn compared with other aircraft. You use a collective stick, a cyclic stick and rudders to control the vehicle. Both hands and feet are constantly working to keep the helicopter stable in flight in all directions. Try it when you are old enough.
