How fast do helicopters go?

all of the lift- and propulsive thrust comes from the rotors. therefore they cannot in any sense fly as fast as jets. I do not think a true helicopter, as opposed to a stub-winged thing like a Rotordyne could go much above 200 MPH. Probably some jet-boosted experimental models have gone faster, but these are not standard issue models.

The development of the helicopter took place at many places simultaneously, and many helicopters flew before Paul E Williams was born.

African-American Paul E Williams was involved in the development of the "first useful helicopter" in particular the Lockheed Model 186 (XH-51). However this helicopter was not produced until 1962. He invented improvements to helicopter design, he didn't invent the helicopter.

See the related questions for links to his aircraft.

What is the helicopter used for?

Leonardo Da Vinci invented the concept of flight which includes helicopters. He should be known as an inventor, not an artist. Art does nothing to help people! Life would be nowhere without his inventions.

Helicopters can be used in many different ways. Today, helicopters are used for transportation, for construction, for firefighting, search and rescue, and a variety of other jobs that require the special capabilities of the helicopter. Some police use them to monitor traffic, and catch speeders. They are used for emergency rescue such as grass fires. They are used for air ambulances when a patient needs to be rushed to a different hospital- because of their ability to take off and land vertically, and it doesn't need a runway. Military forces use helicopters to land men on the ground to fight. The military also transports food, missiles, needed medical equipment etc.. helicopters can also be used for recreation.

Why there are 2 sets of blades in helicopter?

I will assume by "sets" you mean "pairs". The truth is, some helicopters only have one set. Some have two. Put very simply, the more blades you have, the more lift you can generate, and so the more hauling capacity you have. Eg the Chinook has TWO rotors, each with four blades. It's used to lift some very heavy objects (humvees, many personnel etc). Whereas a small R22 only has two blades, since it's not designed to be a cargo lifter. The Main rotor is generally the one that is the most forward and creates most of the lift and general directional control (forward, back, left and right banks) Where as the tail rotor provides for a counter force to the torque created by the main rotor and also give you the ability to do what is called a balanced turn (means you won't feel like you're sliding through the air)

Which African American invented the helicopter?
