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.

Why wont my egofly hawkspy toy helicopter fly?

I have the same problem if it was making a grinding noise contact ego-fly if its not making a grinding noise the rotors might be hitting each other

Where was the Huey Helicopter Model in the MASH series Hint Col. Blake's office?

The Model of the Huey Helicopter was hanging above the High School Diploma in Col. Blake's office and not in Col. Potters office.

How do you guess the correct code for the helicopter to land?

The answer is Blue Blue Yellow Yellow. Hope this helps!

How many passengers can a helicoper have?

That would depend upon the size of the helicopter, wouldn't it. I have seen tiny one-man choppers, and huge ones. The Russian Mig 6 could carry 90 passengers, but the current largest passenger helicopter, the Sikorsky S-92, can carry 19 passengers.

How do helicopters change speed?

By tilting the main rotor forward or backward.

How did da Vinci make helicopter?

Leonardo da Vinci did not actually 'make' a helicopter, he just drew his concept of it.

How fast does a military helicopter go?

The fastest are attack helicopters like Apache, they mostly fly about 230 -250 mph.

When was helicopter discovered?

The first operational helicopter was built in 1936, the Focke-Wulf Fw 61.

How does a helicopter rise into the air?

Simple answer: By blowing air at the ground.

Long answer: Air moving in the right way can have immense force behind it. Hurricanes can flatten trees, tornadoes can pick up cows and jet aircraft can use a directed jet of air to propel itself.

The Rotor blades of a helicopters are like a massive, high powered fan that blows air downwards. Each rotor blade has an airfoil profile (similar shape to the cross section of an airplanes wing), so as the rotor blade turns it generates lift, just like an airplanes wing. The when the blades turn fast enough the lift forces will be greater than the forces of gravity. The pilot can control this by altering the angle of the blades. As the pilot increases the angle of the blades, more lift will be generated. In practice all helicopters do not have much variation in rotor speed during flight, and the rotor speeds are a lot slower than most people realise.

But there's a problem known as Torque Reaction. If you just have a single main rotor, then as the helicopters blades starts to get to a state where lift from the blades equal the forces of gravity, the helicopter will start to spin on the spot. (A visual thing to see this in action is watch the film Black Hawk Down, when the helicopter gets shot and loses its tail rotor).

To balance the forces induced by torque reaction, most helicopters have a tail rotor at the end of the tail boom. The tail rotor blades have a variable angle controlled by the pilot, like the main rotors. Adjusting the angle of blades will balance the forces of torque reaction. Altering this angle in a hover will allow the helicopter to turn on the spot.

How high does a helicopter fly from the ground?

Usually you don't fly higher than 12,000 feet in a helicopter, because of the lack of oxygen at those high altitudes.

However, there is a world record, holding up for 40 years:

On June 12, 1972 Jean Boulet piloted the Aerospatiale SA-315 Lama to a helicopter absolute world altitude record of 40,820 feet.

What is a helicopter cabin?

Its a cabin in a helicopter where the pilot sits.
