Why do helicopters have a difficult time flying at altitudes above 6000 m?
A helicopter blade works the same way as a wing on a fixed wing aircraft. The air flowing faster over the top of the airfoil generates lift. When a helicopter flies at a high altitude the air gets thinner. Because the air is thinner, more pitch on the blades is needed to keep the helicopter in the air. When too much pitch is on the blades the blades stall, air moves past the bottom of the blade and creates a vortex behind the top of the blade. All lift is lost and you lose altitude.
Why do the helicopter fly around every night?
Helicopters may be flying at night for various reasons, such as law enforcement patrols, medical emergencies, search and rescue missions, or military training exercises. It's best to check with local authorities or heliports for specific information on the helicopters flying in your area.
Would a helicopter work on mars?
A helicopter could potentially work on Mars, but it would face significant challenges due to the planet's thin atmosphere, which is about 1% the density of Earth's. This low density means that rotor blades would need to be larger or spin faster to generate enough lift. NASA's Ingenuity helicopter demonstrated this concept by successfully flying on Mars in 2021, proving that powered flight is possible, albeit with specialized engineering adaptations. However, sustained operations would require careful design to handle the Martian environment and atmospheric conditions.
Which direction is faster east or west from India to Canada?
Because of the Earth's rotation and air streams, it can be faster to travel from west to east. If travel from India to Canada is by airplane, there may not be much of a difference since the jet can only reach certain speeds relative to the air surrounding it.
Why is there a light going in circles in the sky?
More than likely, you are near an airport. That is a beacon.
What is the difference between flying and flight?
Hovering is when a rotorcraft (helicopter) is airborne and stationary over a point with no movement in any direction. Flying is anytime the helicopter is airborne and not stationary and is moving in any direction. The FAA legal guys say hovering is flying. As in "...the intent to fly..."
What is definition of helicopter simulator?
A machine that is like flying in a helicopter.
What do you use a helicopter for?
Because its flying..
Is flying a helicopter hard?
Flying a helicopter is hard for anyone who is not trained to fly it. However, for those with proper training, it is deemed to be very easy.
When was the first real flying helicopter?
Sikorsky's V-300 was the first practical helicopter.
Can a boombox drown out a low-flying airplane or helicopter?
I have found nothing in any search to support that a boombox can drown out a low-flying airplane or helicopter.
What is the name of the person who invented the helicopter?
Igor Sikorski invented the first practical flying helicopter.
Which technique is used to avoid injury from flying debris when a helicopter lands?
Face away from the helicopter
How difficult is it to fly a helicopter?
Some people say that flying an airplane would be like riding a bike and flying a helicopter is like riding a unicycle in comparison.
How a helicopter used of thrust for flying?
The main rotor of a helicopter is actually a set of wings that turn. They produce lift, just like the wings of an airplane. To change direction, the rotor is tilted, and the helicopter is PULLED in that direction.
Which flying machine hs a rotor and a propeller?
A flying machine with a rotor an a propeller is a helicopter
What is the 'flying ceiling' of a helicopter?
it is the small rotating "fan" in the back
