Why does a helicopter fly?
The rotor, shaped like an aeroplane wing, creates lift in the same way. The problem is in maintaining stability, as it will cause the body of the helicopter to rotate, too. That is why most helicopters have a tail rotor, to counter that effect and grant the pilot stability.
How is a helicopter controlled?
A helicopter is controlled by the pilot using a combination of controls. These controls include cyclic for directional control, collective for altitude control, and pedals for yaw control. By manipulating these controls, the pilot can change the helicopter's position and orientation in the air.
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.
Why a helicopter during autorotation could reach terminal speed with out the pilot changing the controls?
Three forces work here. There is gravity, air resistance and the lift force made by the blades autorotation. When the air resistance and gravity forces are equal in strength, this means that the helicopter has reached its terminal velocity. It cannot fall any faster than it is. As the helicopter is using auto-rotation, the pilot does not need to change any controls because the forces will balance out themselves. The helicopter, with the aid of the still spinning blades of the helicopter, will be able to make a safe landing.
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.
Why does a helicopter tilt?
Helicopters tilt to offset the direction of their lift in order to initiate movement in that direction. A helicopter pilot can tip the helicopter forward to get a little forward motion, and then tip the helicopter back to stop or even reverse. Likewise, the pilot can make the helicopter "slew" left or right by tilting the helicopter left or right.

Will the thickness of the flap effect the rotation of the helicopter?
Rotation, no. Lift, yes. If you increase the surface area of the propeller, then you alter the lift to weight ratio.
