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.

What does double pulley system mean in science?

A "double pulley" may refer to a two-block (two rope) pulley, or to the arrangement of two separate pulley blocks as a "block and tackle" -- designed to make lifting easier by reducing the necessary lifting force: a smaller force is applied over a greater distance to achieve a mechanical advantage.


Does a machine magnify the force that you exert?

Absolutely. four of the most basic machines do exactly that. A lever increases the force you exert by how close the fulcrum is to the object being move, and how far the applied force is away from the fulcrum. A screw transfers rotational force (torque) to a lifting force, and increases that force based on the pitch of the threads. A wedge increases lifting force based upon the pitch of the wedge from horizontal. A pulley, when using more than one, will increase the applied force, on an order of magnitude equal to the number of pulleys used. **Note: the total work applied equals the total work transmitted less friction. The force applied times the acceleration equals the work, the machines reduce the acceleration to increase the force transmitted.

How does a helicopter get its lifting force?

A helicopter gets its lifting force from the rotation of its main rotor blades. As the rotor blades spin, they create a pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces, generating lift that enables the helicopter to become airborne. The angle of the rotor blades can be adjusted to control the amount of lift produced.
