Helicopters do not have any wings. Airplanes have wings Helicopter has rotors. A helicopter has at least two sets of rotors. One rotor creates lift ( Main Rotor on the top ) & the other prevents the helicopter from spinning in circles( Tail Rotor).
It has a rotor blade instead of wings.
READ THIS - GOOD INFORMATION The wings of an airplane and the rotors of a helicopter both help the object fly. Without those the object could not fly because the wings of an airplane have wind going past it which keeps the airplane in the air. The rotors of a helicopter spin in the wind and help the helicopter fly.
Its Spins The Helicopters Wings
Fixed wing- air is moved past the wings to create lift. Helicopter- the wings (rotor blades) are moved through the air to create lift.
Helicopters are "rotary wing" aircraft- their wings are the rotor blades. Instead of deriving lift from moving air over the fixed wings of an airplane, a helicopter derives lift by moving the wings through the air.
A helicopter is an aircraft without fixed wings. Helicopters can also be known as rotorcraft.
No, they are correctly called 'rotor blades'
A helicopter flies do to rotorblades rotating. Most helicopters have two rotorblades, one to lift the helicopter off the ground, and the second, most commonly found on the tail, for stability.
helicopters fly and have big wirly things on their heads and look like birds The helicopter is an aircraft using rotary wings to give lift and a tail rotor or counter-rotating wings to give stability.
A helicopter flies using a rotor and can hover whereas an aeroplane has wings and aeroplanes can generally hold a bigger amount of people.
Pat LaFontaine IMPROVED ANSWER The reason it was called the "Helicopter Line" was because a helicopter has no wings....just like Pat LaFontaine (center) had no wingers who scored or assisted in scoring. LaFontaine had to do it all himself.
Possibly...because the wings add lift to the aircraft; whereas the chopper has no wings and must create it's own lift. Helicopter crewmen call helicopters "rotor-wing" aircraft, apparently the rotor blades on the choppers act like "wings."
