What can a helicopter do that a plane cannot?
Hover
VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft can hover as well as helicopters, but helicopters can do it more efficiently and, therefore, can do it for longer periods.
How do you fix an helicopter cyclic control?
You have a certified professional fix it.Ask to see proof they are certified and do not take their word for it.
Can you fly a helicopter through a tornado?
Technically, yes, since tornadoes are usually separated by at least several miles. However, in close proximity to a tornado the wind is too strong and too turbulent to savely fly a helicopter.
How many men can fit in a black-hawk helicopter?
A black-hawk helicopter can hold 15 people 2 chiefs, 2 pilots and 11 troops
What is work of avionic aircraft maintenance engineer?
Responsible for the work on the Avionics of an Aircraft composed of the following:
communications, navigation and guidance, display systems, flight management systems, sensors and indicators, weather radars, electrical systems and various other computers onboard modern aircraft and spacecraft. It also includes the hundreds of systems that are fitted to aircraft to meet individual roles; these can be as simple as a search light for a police helicopter or as complicated as the tactical system for an airborne early warning platform.
Which one is the fastest airplane or helicopter?
Well, there are some airplanes which can be outrun by helicopters, but, for the most part, airplanes are faster.
Most helicopters used a kerosene based fuel, such as Jet A, Jet B, or - in the case of military aircraft of NATO countries - JP-8. However, helicopters which use internal combustion engines will use standard 100 Low Lead petrol fuel.
Is it legal for a helicopter to land and take off in residential neiborhoods?
To legally land in a residential area, you need the permission of the owner or manager of the property. You can only do so if the event will not cause harm or damage. It is a good idea to coordinate such events with local air traffic control, especially in a highly congested urban area, and always if the landing zone is within airport controlled airspace. So, if the neighbors don't mind, and the home owner is for it, then no problem. I once picked up a friend from one wedding reception point in his back yard, and dropped him and his new bride off at the second reception venue in the parking lot of a club not too far from their home, all with his neighbors snapping tons of photos and waving at us, as I had him get their blessings before the event.
Was the first helicopter made in the fifteenth century?
It was not built then, but Leonardo da Vinci made a drawing of a helicopter in the 15th Century.
Tail rotor thrust is simple the sidewards force provided by the tail rotor. This is required to offset the gyroscopic motion created by the main rotor.
When the main rotor spins it creates toque in the opposite direction. The result, without a tail rotor, would be the main body of the helicopter spinning around in the opposite direction uncontrollably.
The tail rotor simply provide thrust in the opposite direction to this toque and thus allows the main body of the helicopter to remain stationary. The blades of both the main rotor and the tail rotor spin at the same revs. The pilot adjusts the pedals at his feet to change the amount of sidewards thrust thrust allowing him to control his lateral movement.
How much a does a full tank of helicopter gas cost?
You need to be more specific. Fuel costs vary as do the size of the tanks on a helicopter.
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.
Do helicopters have lights on their propellers?
sometimes, but they need to be on both sides or else the helicopter will lose its balance and crash! it is not beneficial if you put the lights on the propellers because they will move so fast you can't see them...
Why cant a helicopter work on the moon?
A helicopter requires air to generate lift from its rotors. Since the moon has no atmosphere, there is no air for the helicopter to push against and create lift. This makes it impossible for a traditional helicopter to work on the moon.
How do you increase speed of a helicopter?
There's only so much you can do to make a helicopter go faster; most helicopter operators are more worried about how much they can lift.
Most guys who need to fly a lot faster than helicopters can don't buy helicopters in the first place. If you need to go 300 mph in an aircraft, and you don't need to land in confined areas or hover, you're better off with a Pilatus PC12 or a King Air.
What nationality was the inventor of the helicopter?
Many people of many nationalities worked on the helicopter as it was developed. The first working helicopter was probably the German Focke-Wulf Fw-61, which first flew in 1936.
But the man who made the most important design change was Igor Sikorsky, a Russian who emigrated to the US. He built a helicopter in the US that reached full-scale production in 1942 (131 aircraft built). His design of one main rotor and a small tail rotor became the standard.
How much does a private jet cost to rent?
Typically the cost varies on several factors including: number of passengers, aircraft size, trip distance, length of stay, and aircraft availability.
Of course, the longer the trip and larger the aircraft will increase the overall cost of charter, as do larger airports and services required for fuel. As Private Jet Advisors, we often try to use an airport nearby to a major airport to help keep the cost down.
Despite these variables, the typical costs for different types of private jet aircraft can be calculated based on an hourly basis, (which is referred to an estimate, or soft quote). The average hourly rates for some aircraft are shown below.

Example of Actual Private Jet Charter PricingFlights can be a one-way, round trip, or multi-leg trip.- For one-way flights, the private jet takes you to your destination and then returns to its home base empty. This serves as an inefficient and expensive way to charter because you are stuck paying for the jet to return empty when you aren't flying on it.
- For round trip flights, you only pay for the jet when it is actually operating. However, there are overnight fees for both the crew and the airplane to sit. These fees are increased for international overnights. Sometimes, if the stay is long enough, FlightOn Jet will use two one way flights to help offset the higher cost of overnight fees.
- For multi-leg trips, the private jet stays with you as long as you need. If there are several day stays at one destination, it is possible to utilize multiple one ways to help with costs.
