The rotor blades relieve the air pressure from the helicopter forcing it to lift.
When a helicopter is hovering (aka "still") it has the force of gravity pushing "down" toward the Earth and the force of "lift" of the spinning rotor blade(s) pushing against the surrounding air. When the gravitational force is equal to the force of lift the helicopter hovers on the vertical axis.
The lifting force on an object can be calculated using the formula: Lifting Force = Weight of Object - Weight of Fluid Displaced This is based on Archimedes' principle, which states that an object fully or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
Lifting a heavy object, such as a box, is an example of muscular force. The muscles in your body contract and exert force to overcome the weight of the object, allowing you to lift it.
Lifting a box involves exerting force to overcome gravity and move the box vertically. Work is defined as force applied over a distance, so lifting a box requires work to be done against the force of gravity as the box is raised. Thus, lifting a box involves transferring energy to the box to move it to a higher position.
Lifting an object against gravity requires more force than pulling it along a horizontal surface because you are working against the force of gravity. When lifting, you are fighting against the weight of the object in addition to any other resistance present, such as friction. Pulling, on the other hand, only requires overcoming the frictional force.
a helicopter lifting off a landing pad, how would u draw a free-body diagram of that?
Commando Helicopter Force was created in 1997.
The same force as the weight of the helicopter and its crew and cargo.
using aeronautical principles
NO, the main rotor does the lifting and the small rear propeller is used to stop it spinning around and help with steering it.
the helicopter pushes forward when the pilot pushes the cyclic control forward. that rotates the blades forward . while pushing forward on the cyclic, the pilot must also pull up on the collective control. that will add pitch to the blades, thrusting the helicopter forward.
Join the army or air force as a helicopter pilot.
Marine One for helicopter and Air Force One for aero
For lifting heavy objects that would be awkward or hard for a regular crane to do.
The main lifting blades make up the rotor
