Standard load is roughly 400 punds or 60 gallons
T.C.'s helicopter is a Hughes 500. Sometimes it is portrayed by a C model 500 and sometimes by a D model. The Hughes 500 is also known as the MD500 as ownership of the manufacturer changed hands.
You need to be more specific. Fuel costs vary as do the size of the tanks on a helicopter.
no its too slow It depends on how much fuel you have. ; )
The key isn't really whats required. You can have the key and still not be able to turn it on. It's not like a car. You need to understand what type of chopper you are flying ie gas turbine or flat engine. Starting a gas turbine helicopter like the MD500 requires many further steps to ignite and turn on the engine.
helicopters take alot of fuel because they are very heavy and they have to do alot of work just to stay in one place
Anything from 20 to 600 gallons depending on helicopter.
The cost to fuel a helicopter varies based on the type of helicopter and fuel prices, which can fluctuate. On average, helicopters consume between 10 to 50 gallons of fuel per hour, with fuel prices typically ranging from $4 to $7 per gallon. This means that operational costs for fuel can range from approximately $40 to $350 per flight hour, depending on the specific model and current fuel prices. Additionally, overhead costs and maintenance should also be considered for a complete operational budget.
A commercial helicopter can hold up to 200 gallons of fuel. How much it needs to run depends on how far the trip is and depends on how much weight it is carrying in passengers, luggage/freight, plus pilot / co-pilot.
The best helicopter for what purpose? If you want to take 11 infantry soldiers into combat and support them during the fight, the Hind is a good helicopter. If you want to dry cherry trees, it's too big, takes too much fuel and costs too much.
yes there are helicopters which can dump fuel. the most basic helicopter allouette ( the french single engine helicopter) has a capability of jettisoning fuel at the rate of 130 lts per hr.
A Chinook helicopter can hold approximately 1,000 gallons (around 3,785 liters) of fuel in its tanks. This capacity allows the aircraft to achieve a range of about 400 miles (640 kilometers) depending on its load and conditions. The fuel capacity can vary slightly depending on the specific model and configuration of the Chinook.
The EC135 helicopter primarily uses aviation fuel known as Jet A or Jet A-1, which is a type of kerosene-based fuel. These fuels are commonly used in turbine engines, providing the necessary energy and efficiency for the helicopter's operations. Additionally, the EC135 is equipped with two turboshaft engines, which are designed to operate on this type of fuel.
