How much can a CH54 Skycrane helicopter lift?
It can lift up to 20,000 lbs or 9000 kilos.
What is the difference between a helicopter creating lift and anairplane creating lift?
the difference between an helicopter creating lift and an airplane creating lift is simple. an airplane creates lift by moving forward and its wing that has an aerofoil shaped will create lift. this gives the lift for the airplane and to fly. for helicopters, instead of the aerofoil is fix like an airplane, the aerofoil wing is rotating and create lift. that is why the helicopter does not need to move forward to gain momentum to create lift. by rotating the aerofoil (the blade) the helicopter can creates enough lift to lift up the helicopter.and that's how it fly..
How do helicopter stay aloft in the air?
The rotors provide lift to keep them up.
How does a helicopter pilot increase the lift?
A helicopter pilot can increase lift by increasing the pitch angle of the main rotor blades or by increasing the collective pitch angle, which changes the angle of attack for all blades simultaneously. This increases the helicopter's vertical thrust and lift.
Can a helicopter reach a plane's altitude?
A helicopter cannot reach a plane's altitude because it does not have much lift. No, the air is to thin high up for a helicopter to sustain flight.
Are rotors used to help lift a helicopter off the ground?
The rotors are used for lift and thrust on a helicopter.
What is the heaviest weight of helicopter can carry?
The largest produced Heavy lift helicopter is the Sikorsky S-64 Sky crane; It can lift 20,000lbs or 9,027kgs (This is 9 Tonnes)ANS 2 - The Mil 26 Halo can lift up to 44,000 lbs.
How do you get lift?
You get lift when the flow of air over the top of a wing or helicopter blade is less than the flow undr the wing, and it pushes it up
The main rotor on a helicopter creates what?
The main rotor on a helicopter creates lift, which allows the helicopter to become airborne and maintain its altitude during flight.
How does the lift thrust drag and gravity affect a helicopter?
Thrust from the helicopter's rotor blades generates lift, which enables the helicopter to overcome gravity and stay airborne. Drag acts as a resistance opposing the helicopter's forward movement, requiring additional thrust to maintain speed. Gravity affects the helicopter by constantly pulling it downward, necessitating continuous lift to counteract and remain in the air.
How does a bell helicopter take off?
Pushing Air downwards to fly. Rapidly spinning long, thin blades push air downwards to lift the helicopter up
Why cant a helicopter work on the moon?
A helicopter requires air to generate lift from its rotors. Since the moon has no atmosphere, there is no air for the helicopter to push against and create lift. This makes it impossible for a traditional helicopter to work on the moon.
