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.

Why Bernoulli's Principle makes an helicopter fly?

A helicopter uses Benoullis principle in the exact same way as an airplane does. A helicopter has a wing just like an airplane's wing. The major difference being that instead of pushing the wing forward through the air, a helicopter swings the wings around above its head.


What is the working principle of helicopter?

Helicopters generate lift and thrust through the rotation of its main rotor blades. By changing the pitch of the blades, the helicopter can control its altitude, direction, and speed. Additionally, the tail rotor is used to counteract the torque created by the main rotor to keep the helicopter stable.


Why does a helicopter lose altitude when flying over a water surface?

When a helicopter flies close to a water surface, the air below the helicopter is disturbed by the movement of the rotor blades. This disturbance can affect the lift generated by the rotor blades, leading to a loss of altitude due to reduced lift. This phenomenon is known as "ground effect."


How might an aeroplane fly like a helicopter?

It flies Like an Airplane and Hovers Like a Helicopter... or if the engine has enough power to it, and the pilot brings it up to a 90 degree climb, lets it slow down, then adjusts the throttle to hover the plane...


How does bernoulli's principle apply to a helicopter?

Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. In a helicopter, the rotor blades create lift by moving through the air at a high speed. This creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom of the blades, generating lift and allowing the helicopter to fly.
