How fast do the tips of helicopter rotor blades go?

Some helicopter main rotor blades spin at roughly 185 rpm and extend out up to 20 ft so your question is subjective to the helicopter you are speaking of.


What is the difference between a plane and a jet?

A Jet plane has no propellers. (Actually, there are 'prop-jets' on which propellers are powered by jet engines.)There is basically no difference in the airplane. The engines are different and sometimes the design of the wings or fuselage is different to allow for the different type engines. For example, early single-engine jets had their engines embedded within the fuselage so the air flow entered the nose or just under the wings and exited the tail after being ignited.Another difference is that Jet aircraft usually fly faster than propellor. The wings on propellor a/c are usually straight whereas the wings of jets are slanted aft. This improves aerodynamics when the jet approaches the speed of sound.


How do you determine the size of the shaper machine?

Oh, dude, determining the size of a shaper machine is like measuring your inseam - you gotta look at the stroke length, the maximum distance between the tool and the workpiece, and the overall dimensions of the machine. It's not rocket science, just grab a measuring tape and get to it. Or you could just eyeball it and hope for the best, like a true DIY enthusiast.


How does a windmill or helicopter turn?

Helicopters and windmills turn different ways. Windmills turn by the wind. The stronger the wind, the faster the windmill goes. Helicopter turn by electricity. Electricity is "hot". For Example: If you get electrocuted it will feel hot. You will really be getting burnt. So the heat of of the fire will light the wire's and that will turn the helicopter's propeller.


What type of simple machine is a helicopter?

There are six types of simple machines: lever, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, screw, and wheel and axle. A typical helicopter will contain ALL of these. Many people will think the main rotor is a screw.

Which helicopter hovers the longest the one with the long propellers or the short propellers?

The Helicopter with the long propellers creates more list and has to do less rotations, and use less power than the one with short proplellers. Therefore Helicopter with the long propellers will hover and stay in air longer than the one with short propellers.

What are the two small propellers on a helicopter?

Oh, dude, those little spinny things on a helicopter are called the tail rotor and the main rotor. The tail rotor helps the helicopter not spin out of control, and the main rotor is like the big boss that actually lifts the whole thing up. So yeah, those propellers are pretty important for not crashing and stuff.


How does the wingspan of a falling helicopter effect the speed?

It wouldn't, the propellers are designed to propel the helicopter off of the ground, thus the word propeller, not to make the helicopter glide. The wings are too thin to hold up a helicopter and that is why they spin to gain ground as well as using kinetic energy to lift up. The propellers would eventually bend or snap if the helicopter would be to fall, the speed of the wind would break or damage the propellers.
