Helicopters
A helicopter is an aircraft which is propelled and lifted in the air by one or more large horizontal rotors. Focke-Wulf Fw 61 was the first operational helicopter manufactured by Focke-Achgelis in 1936.

What is differences chopper and helicopter?
Chopper is the nickname for helicopter. It's the same aircraft.
Why did the army name a helicopter Apache?
many US military helicopters are named after American Indian tribes
What will replace the sea king helicopter?
The EH 101 Merlin replaces the Sea King in many navies and air forces
Which is faster a car or a helicopter?
most helicopters can fly at least 150 mph. Some cars are faster, but not everyday road cars
What is the difference between the way an airplane and helicopter fly?
Airplanes can not fly straight up and down or hover.
Who was the original inventor of the helicopter?
Igor Sikorsky invented the first practical helicopter.
How many passengers can a helicopter take?
Most civilian utility helicopters carry 6 -12 passengers. Larger industrial and military helicopters carry more. The CH-47 Chinook, as shown above can carry 55 passengers. The largest helicopter Russia's Mil -26 can carry over 100 passengers, but seldom does as they are usually used in logging and heavy military cargo lifting.
How long does it take a helicopter to travel 100 miles?
It depends on the helicopter and how it's being flown. If you have a Black Hawk helicopter and fly 100 miles in a straight line at full throttle, it'll take about half an hour to travel 100 miles. If you have a police helicopter and you creep along because you're looking for a car that ran off the side of a cliff, it's possible you won't go 100 miles all day.
Would a helicopter work on mars?
A helicopter could potentially work on Mars, but it would face significant challenges due to the planet's thin atmosphere, which is about 1% the density of Earth's. This low density means that rotor blades would need to be larger or spin faster to generate enough lift. NASA's Ingenuity helicopter demonstrated this concept by successfully flying on Mars in 2021, proving that powered flight is possible, albeit with specialized engineering adaptations. However, sustained operations would require careful design to handle the Martian environment and atmospheric conditions.
yes, they do. China arms many countries with the intention of disturbing Western power
What part makes a helicopter reverse and picture of it?
There are two controls on a helicopter that adjust the rotor blades: the cyclic and the collective.
- The cyclic control tilts the rotor blades cyclically so that those on one side of the rotor tilt more while those on the other side tilt less, the result is to tilt the entire rotor disk in a particular direction, resulting in the helicopter moving in that direction. If the pilot pushes the cyclic control in a given direction, the rotor disk tilts in that direction, and produces a thrust vector in that direction, resulting in movement in that direction.
- The collective control tilts all the rotor blades collectively (i.e. all at the same time) and by the same amount, the result is the helicopter increases or decreases its total lift derived from the rotor. In level flight this would cause a climb or descent, while with the helicopter pitched in a given direction an increase in total lift would produce an acceleration together with a given amount of ascent.
Why does a helicopter engine to stall during an ash storm?
Almost any aircraft egine will stall if ingesting ash instead of clean air. Clean air is essential to an engine's performance
How long is an average helicopter?
What would you call "average". I don't see there is an "average" helicopter, all are different.
How do you use the magnet under the helicopter man in Happy Wheels?
In Happy Wheels, the magnet under the helicopter man is used to attract or repel objects in the environment. To utilize the magnet effectively, you simply need to control the helicopter man and activate the magnet by pressing the appropriate key (usually the space bar). This can help you navigate obstacles or manipulate items to clear a path. Timing and positioning are key to using the magnet successfully.
How fast can a helicopters go?
Some experimental helicopters can fly as fast as 300 mph. However most helicopters in service fly less than 200 mph.
Why are some helicopter rotors enclosed?
Rotors are never enclosed. The control propellor is sometimes enclosed because the designer feels it is safer and more aerodynamic.
