What happens when the blade of a helicopter stops spinning in the sky?

If a helicopter blade stops spinning in the sky, the helicopter will experience a rapid descent known as autorotation. This is when the airflow through the rotor keeps the blades spinning, allowing the helicopter to land safely even without engine power. It requires skilled piloting to execute successfully.


Why is it necessary to have the tail rotor on the helicopter that spins perpendicular to the spin of the main rotor?

"For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction." For the helicopter to make the blade move in one direction, the blade will try to make the helicopter move in the opposite direction. Since the blade tries to make the helicopter spin, something is needed to keep the helicopter from spinning. So the manufacturer puts a tail rotor on the helicopter.


How does the shape of the blade affect a paper helicopter?

The shape of the blade of a paper helicopter can affect its flight by influencing factors such as lift and drag. Blades with a larger surface area or more angled design may generate more lift, while blades with a streamlined shape may reduce drag, resulting in longer flight times. Experimenting with different blade shapes can help optimize the performance of a paper helicopter.


Where is the centre of pressure on the main rotor blade of a helicopter?

The center of pressure on a helicopter rotor blade typically varies along the length of the blade and is usually located about 25-30% of the chord length from the leading edge. It moves with changes in angle of attack and airspeed to maintain stability and control of the rotor system.


Do helicopter blades break the sound barrier?

No, helicopter blades do not break the sound barrier. The tips of the blades can approach the speed of sound, but the entire blade does not exceed the speed of sound.
