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.
How many people does a rescue helicopter seat?
2 in the front+ 3 in the middle+ 3 in the back+ room for a stretcher. I total more than 8 seats.
Why was the helicopter invented by Igor Sikorsky?
Igor Sikorsky was one of many helicopter inventors. He was the one who invented a helicopter that used a tail rotor to counteract the thrust of the main rotor, and he was able to build one with a strong enough engine, an efficient enough rotor, and a light enough airframe. So his helicopter became the first successful commercially produced helicopter.
What kind of helicopters are used for helicopter skiing?
usually helicopters that are operational at high altitudes, that are reliable, and that are cheap (small).
How many Decibels does a helicopter make?
Standing next to a helicopter while the propellers are spinning is 110-115dB.
What is best helicopter gunship in the world?
that is a matter of opinion but my personal favourite is the MI24 Hind or the MI35 Havoc. It realy depends wether you want a small gunship or a large gunship. With big gunships i would have to go for the Hind or the Havoc but for small gunships, i like the AH-64 Apache or the KA-52 Alligator

When was the helicopter rotor invented and by who?
That's a very difficult question as rotors were developed by many people from as far back as the 1800's. - Possibly the first successful rotor as we know it today was developed by Juan de la Cierva in 1923. His rotor was widely used in 'gyroplanes' which were aircraft with minimal wings, and in which the rotor turned freely to provide lift, but was not powered. These aircraft were powered by an engine pulling it forward, and this motion turned the rotor. The first really successful powered rotor was developed by Igor Sikorsky during the early 1940's.
Was the helicopter invented before the submarine?
No. The submarine came about long before the helicopter.
because the spinning motion of the main rotor crates a force called torque, with makes the helicopter's body want to spin in the opposite direction. The tail rotor is used to create anti-torque and stop the body from spinning. In the cockpit, the pilot will use anti-torque pedals which change the angle that the tail-rotor's are spinning at. Allowing the body to spin slightly means it can change direction, and forcing it to spin more in the opposite direction allows it to turn (or yaw) the other way.
A single rotor helicopter will spin uncontrollably in the air and will possibly not take off at all.
Why almost all helicopters have a small tail rotor at the back?
when the main blade rotates it creates torque and if that torque is not countered by the rear rotor the helicopter will spin out and crash. the helicopters that do not have a rear rotor have another rotor that is the same size moving in the opposite direction
How much does helicopter fuel cost?
The current market price of Jet A1 aviation fuel is 0.52GBP/Litre, 0.62EUR/Litre or 3.10USD/US Gallon although it obviously varies greatly with local economics.
How much do army helicopters cost?
The cost varies with the version due to the varying specifications, equipment and quantities. For example, the unit cost of the Army's UH-60L Black Hawk is $5.9 million while the unit cost of the Air Force MH-60G Pave Hawk is $10.2 million.
