Why is a helicopter swooping downward not in free fall?

A helicopter swooping downward is not in free fall because it maintains lift from its rotor blades. The rotor blades create lift by pushing air downward, essentially countering the force of gravity. This allows the helicopter to descend at a controlled rate without free falling.


How are the rotor blades of a helicopter tilted when rotating?

The rotor blades of a helicopter are tilted backwards when rotating to generate lift and control the direction of the aircraft. This tilt is called "pitch" and is controlled by the pilot using the cyclic control stick to adjust the blade angle as needed during flight. The pitch of the rotor blades can be changed to move the helicopter forward, backward, left, or right.


What is effect of the weight of the helicopter on the terminal speed - slide3?

The weight of the helicopter affects the terminal speed by influencing the rate at which the helicopter falls. A heavier helicopter will reach a higher terminal velocity compared to a lighter helicopter, as the force of gravity will be greater on the heavier helicopter, causing it to accelerate faster. Additionally, a heavier helicopter may require more lift to counteract its weight, which can also impact its terminal speed.


What is the circumference of a helicopter propeller?

The circumference of a helicopter propeller can vary depending on the size and type of helicopter. Generally, the circumference of a helicopter propeller can range from a few feet to several feet in length.


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.
