How does the wingspan of a falling helicopter effect the speed?

It wouldn't, the propellers are designed to propel the helicopter off of the ground, thus the word propeller, not to make the helicopter glide. The wings are too thin to hold up a helicopter and that is why they spin to gain ground as well as using kinetic energy to lift up. The propellers would eventually bend or snap if the helicopter would be to fall, the speed of the wind would break or damage the propellers.


How does a propeller vehicle use air resistance?

A propeller vehicle uses air resistance to generate forward thrust. As the propeller spins, it creates a pressure difference between the front and back of the propeller, causing the vehicle to move forward. The air resistance acts against the motion of the propeller, helping to propel the vehicle forward.


What makes a propeller spin?

A propeller is connected to a drive shaft which is connected to an engine that runs the same way as a car


Why does a bigger propeller go slower than a little propeller?

A bigger propeller moves more air with each rotation but at a slower speed, which can result in slower overall speed. A smaller propeller moves less air per rotation but at a faster speed, which can lead to faster overall speed.


How does a propeller produce thrust?

A propeller is like a spinning wing. The airfoil shaped blades pull an airplane forward just as an airplane's wings lift it upward. The amount of thrust created by a propeller depends on how fast and at what angle its blades cut through the air. The propeller is generally powered by a combustion engine which fires pistons and turns the propeller.
