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.
What else can I help you with?
How many propellers are there on a helicopter?
Generally speaking there are 4 propellers. Two of them are crossed over each other that form the main propellers, and the other two are at the rear.
How heavy is a military helicopter with two propellers?
300 Pounds
What are the propellers for on a helicopter?
to move the helicopter left and right
What is the name of the helicopter with two propellers used to carry suppies?
black hawk
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.
Does short propellers fly longer or long propellers on a helicopter?
it depends on the engine and the shape of the blade.
Why does helicopter have propeller and aeroplane not?
Aircraft do have propellers , unless they are jets.
How many Decibels does a helicopter make?
Standing next to a helicopter while the propellers are spinning is 110-115dB.
What is the length size of the propellers of a helicopter?
12.5 ft. to 19 ft. :-)
For a helicopter to be stable as it flies it must have at least two propellers. why?
Helicopters require at least two propellers to achieve stability through a concept known as "counter-torque". The main rotor produces torque that would rotate the body of the helicopter in the opposite direction. The tail rotor or fenestron is used to counteract this torque, providing stability by keeping the helicopter from spinning uncontrollably.
Why do helicopters have propellers for kids?
They do not have propellors for kids. The propellors make the helicopter fly straight
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.
