What is helicopter rotor droop?
Helicopters fly by means of an angle of attack increase in the main - rotor disc. However - when this angle of attack increases, the drag experienced on the blades also increases which tends to want to slow the blades down. To avoid that, a gas turbine helicopter engine will have what is called a Power Turbine Governor or PTG. This control unit senses increases in torque values when the pilot pulls up on collective and distributes more fuel into the engine in order to get more output to counter the increase in drag on the rotor blades, thus maintaining a constant rotor RPM in all operating conditions. Rotor 'droop' is when the rotor RPM drops below a minimum given parameter and can be caused by a variety of problems.
What is tHe purpose of inlet guide vanes in gas turbine?
In axial flow compressors, the primary purpose of IGVs (fixed or variable) is to guide the airflow onto the first stage rotor blades at an appropriate or required angle of attack.
What is positive axial displacement of steam turbine?
axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.
What is a Rotor Tilling Machine?
It is actually a "Rotor Tiller". A rotor tiller is a machine that has blades and is used to break up soil in the ground for gardening or landscaping. After the plants start to grow, it can be used to aerate the soil in between rows of plantings. You could use you browsers search capabilities also, just type in "rotor tiller" into the search box and search the web for more info on sizes and kinds of rotor tillers. Some web sites can display pictures and detailed desriptions, like engine size and number of blades also.
What are the parts of steam turbine?
Steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam. It is made up of casing essential to which the blades are attached onto it and a rotor that carries the moving blades.
What is blade pitch of a helicopter?
The angle of the rotor blades.
Changing the pitch of the rotor blades will result in what?
The term "rotor blades" usually refers to a Helicopter. Increasing the pitch of the blade means the angle of attack is increased which produces more Lift. Increased pitch of bothMain Rotor Blades will result in all blades increasing Lift, thus causing the helicopter to climb vertically. For directional control (or cyclic control), the swashplate is tilted and causes a cyclic input into the pitch of each individual blade as it rotates. Increasing the pitch of Main Rotor Blades individually is the method used to cause the helicopter to fly forward. This causes the thrust vector of Main Rotor to tilt forward (or sideways) and pulls the helo forward. Tail Rotor Blades increase pitch together. They do not have cyclic pitch. Increasing the pitch of the Tail Rotor Blades will create more lift to one side and cause the tail to be pulled to that direction. Custermen
What is the rotor head for?
The rotor head changes the angle of incidence of the rotor blades as they rotate.
What is the difference between a helicopter rotor and propeller?
A typical aircraft propellor cuts through the air much like a screw and provides thrust to the aircraft. Many of the modern airplanes have propellors which are variable pitch and they change pitch so that it can increase the blade angle to grab more air or decrease the angle to grab less. When the pitch is changed by the pilot, both (or all 3 or 4) blades change pitch at the same time and the same angle. === === The main rotor blades of a helicopter provides lift and thrust for forward motion. To do this, the rotor controls input a pitch control to the Blade that is moving to the Aft and decreases pitch to the blade moving forward or vice versa. Therefore, unlike the typical airplane propellor, the helicopter blades do not have the same pitch ange. One result of this is that the loads on the blade attachments (or grips) and the Mast have higher bending loads and torque loads and the loads are not symmetrical as it would be with regular propellor blades.
What increases the thrust of an helicopter?
The 'angle of incidence ' of the rotor blades and blade speed.

What is a helicopter blade called?
the blade is called rotor bladesThe rotor blades on top are called Main Rotor Blades, because they are the main source of lift for the helicopter. The smaller rotor blades on the tail are called Tail Rotor Blades.
Describe how standard main and tail rotor systems achieve lift and directional control?
Main RotorThe pilot operates the Main Rotor blade by pulling up on the Collective Lever or moving the Cyclic Stick(similar to a stick used on single-seat aircraft).The controls going to the Main Rotor blades are operated through the Swashplate. This control rods going to each individual blade rotates around the Swashplate. The Collective Levermoves fixed controls so that the Swashplate moves all Main Rotor Blades with the same increase in angle of attack. This produces a vertical lift as all blades increase lift at the same time.The Cyclic Control inputs a tilt to the Swashplate which inturn only inputs an increase of angle of one rotor blade as it rotates around the Mast. As you follow the blade, it increases in angle of attack and then decreases. The next blade follows the same pattern. This produces a "tilt" to the Lift Vector of the Main Rotor that can be directed in any direction and the helicopter moves in that direction.Tail Rotor. When the pilot applies foot pedals, he inputs movement to the Tail Rotor controls that only input an increased blade angle to both blades at once. This increases the thrust so the trail roto pulls the helicopter's tail to the side. Applying opposite tail rotor reduces the lift and the torque of the Main Rotor Blades twist the helicpoter's tail in the opposite direction. If the tail rotor fails, the torque of the Main Rotor will make the helicopter spin out of control (except if the pilot converts into an auto-rotation maneuver that dumps the torque to the main rotor).
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)
Why helicopter speed reduce as increase altitude?
Because as you increase altitude, the density of air decreases. 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)
What is the blades on a helicoptor called?
The blades on a helicopter are called rotor blades. They are attached to the rotor mast and rotate to provide lift and control for the helicopter.
What holds a helicopters blades on?
The rotor hub holds blades on
