What else can I help you with?
Does a helicopter have a rotary engine?
No, rotary engines went out of use in aircraft in WW1.
Which of these areas of technology best classifies the helicopter?
Rotary-Lift Aircraft
Is a helicopter an airplane?
Yes, a helicopter is known as a 'rotary wing aircraft'
How many American aircraft were lost in Vietnam War?
Approximately 2,000 fixed wing aircraft were lost; approximately 5,000 rotary-wing aircraft were lost.
The effect of positive or negative 'g' on autorotation in fixwed wing aircraft?
AUTOROTATION is only for Rotary Wing aircraft...not fixed wing
What color navigation light should be shown on the right side of rotary wing aircraft?
Green
What do aircraft carriers carry?
A Nimitz Class carrier can carry approximately 90 fixed wing and rotary aircraft.
What is easa b1.1?
EASA B1.1 is an Aircraft Maintenance Licence Category for fixed wing turbine aircraft. It applies to all mechanical aspects of aviation aircraft maintenance. B1.2 is fixed wing piston engined, B1.3 is rotary wing turbine engined, B1.4 is rotary wing piston engined and B2 is avionics and electrical. The Category B licence allows for base maintenance and aircraft servicing.
How far can a helicopter fly before refueling?
The range of rotary and fixed wing aircraft is variable to type, speed, conditions, and fuel capacity. Furthermore, the use and capability of air-to-air refueling can increase the range and endurance of aircraft almost indefinitely. Some rotary wing aircraft can also carry supplemental fuel tanks and bladders to further increase range.
Can airplane stop on air?
Rotary wing aircraft can. They are commonly called helicopters. However, fixed wing aircraft need air moving over the wings to hold them up.
What is the science behind a helicopter?
In avionics, a helicopter is known as a Rotary Wing Aircraft. (As distinct from a fixed wing aircraft. ) This indicates the operating principle is based on the ordinary wing profiles used to generate lift.
Why are helicopters so hard to fly?
Hard compared to what? It's all about learning. I can fly a rotary aircraft but can't fly a fixed wing to save my life. There's a big difference in the overall feel of the aircraft.
