Why does a typical small helicopter with a single rotor have a second small rotor on its tail?
The small rotor on the tail, called the tail rotor, counteracts the torque produced by the main rotor of the helicopter. Without the tail rotor, the helicopter would spin uncontrollably in the opposite direction of the main rotor. The tail rotor helps maintain the helicopter's balance and heading.
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 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.
Why don't helicopters spin around in the air?
Some helicopters feature a second rotor underneath the first rotor that counters the force applied to the body of the helicopter by applying thrust in the opposite direction of the main rotor. This stops the helicopter from spinning around. Others, instead of a second rotor underneath the first rotor have a back rotor that essentially does the same thing, which is provide a equal force to the first rotor preventing the helicopter from spinning =0
What is the thing that spins at the top of a helicopter?
The thing that spins at the top of a helicopter is called the rotor blade. It provides the lift necessary for the helicopter to take off and stay in flight. The rotor blades are attached to the main rotor mast and are powered by the engine.
How does the turning of the rotor help the helicopter move upwards?
the wind
What are the major parts of a helicopter?

What makes the rotor turn on a helicopter?

What makes a helicopter move forward?
The main rotor is tilted forward.

What does the tail rotor of a helicopter do?
it stabilises and steers the helicopter.
What is a helicopter with 2 propelers?
That is a twin rotor helicopter
Another name for helicopter propelers?
Main rotor and tail rotor. The main rotor is on top of the helicopter consisting of two or more blades, and the tail rotor is at the back of the helicopter, which also consists of two or more blades.
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 is a helicopter different from an airplane?
