Helicopters

Anything from 20 to 600 gallons depending on helicopter.

Locking wire is used because it is very reliable and can't come loose through vibration. Wire locking has to be carried out by a licensed mechanic (or done under the supervision of one).

The music played in the scene where US helicopters attack a village in Apocalypse Now was Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." The scenario of music blaring from military equipment going into battle is a Hollywood romanticism. There is no solid evidence this ever occurred in any war, although anecdotes may exist. The only verifiable example of anything like this occurring was the siege and capture of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega in 1989.

The cost is 1.2 million dollars. Gas is 50k each. Glad I could Hep

The term "rotor blades" usually refers to a Helicopter. Increasing the pitch of the blade means the angle of attack is increased which produces more Lift. Increased pitch of bothMain Rotor Blades will result in all blades increasing Lift, thus causing the helicopter to climb vertically. For directional control (or cyclic control), the swashplate is tilted and causes a cyclic input into the pitch of each individual blade as it rotates. Increasing the pitch of Main Rotor Blades individually is the method used to cause the helicopter to fly forward. This causes the thrust vector of Main Rotor to tilt forward (or sideways) and pulls the helo forward. Tail Rotor Blades increase pitch together. They do not have cyclic pitch. Increasing the pitch of the Tail Rotor Blades will create more lift to one side and cause the tail to be pulled to that direction. Custermen

No it can not fly on mars because theres no air for it to create lift. Helicoptors can only fly on earth and they cant fly at high altitudes.

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.

The new bankruptcy reform will go into effect in October (I believe it is the 17th). When that happens it will become almost impossible for the average citizen to file a "7". BK attorneys are working almost non-stop to keep up with the rush of people trying to beat the reform deadline.

There doesn't seem to be a record of the first remote-controlled (RC) steamroller. Since the dawn of the electronics age, schemes have been devised to apply RC technology to "drive" different devices and, later, equipments. There are obvious advantages to operating something remotely. The newer RC units take advantage of digital technology to provide sophisticated control possibilities. It is unclear who first adapted RC technology to a steamroller.

I will answer this knowing more about helicopters than motorcycles, but in general, the answer is it depends on the motorcycle and depends on the helicopter. Some helicopters have cruising speeds as slow as 80 mph, and I would guess most motorcycles would be capable of going much faster this. If we look at a more middle of the road helicopter like a Bell 206, it has a cruising speed of about 150 mph, and I would guess there are certainly many motorcycles that could beat this. Currently, the fastest helicopter is the Sikorsky X2 (a non-production experimental aircraft) which has been clocked as fast as 300 mph. My guess is there are few if any motorcycles that could outrun the X2.

Heinkel made the first for Nazi Germany, but now Boeing and Sikorsky are well-known companies for building helicopters

"Tank with spouts " may refer to either the 'settling tank' or the 'pump tank' in most sewage systems.

Helicopters fly by means of an angle of attack increase in the main - rotor disc. However - when this angle of attack increases, the drag experienced on the blades also increases which tends to want to slow the blades down. To avoid that, a gas turbine helicopter engine will have what is called a Power Turbine Governor or PTG. This control unit senses increases in torque values when the pilot pulls up on collective and distributes more fuel into the engine in order to get more output to counter the increase in drag on the rotor blades, thus maintaining a constant rotor RPM in all operating conditions. Rotor 'droop' is when the rotor RPM drops below a minimum given parameter and can be caused by a variety of problems.

Due to your context "what was - -" I assume you mean an object. - The Iroquois helicopter was possibly the best 'utility' helicopter ever built. Known to airmen and soldiers worldwide as the "Huey" , it first flew in 1956 and over 16,000 were built over the years. Over 8,000 of these aircraft served in action in Vietnam and in the Middle East and the characteristic "whop, whop, whop" sound of it's twin blades are embeded in many old soldiers minds. The Huey was everything, - a cargo carrier, a troop carrier, an ambulance, the first attack helicopter and often the one that brought you back to 'the world'

According to the Helicopter History site, traditionally, Armed Forces choose a subject to give name to its ships, airplanes or vehicles.

Here is some information by the site:

"The U.S. Army aviation began in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma prior to moving to FT. Rucker, Alabama. Ft. Sill is located in the heart of many native American reservations and in honor of the location they decided to name helicopters after the various Indian tribes. The one exception is the Bell AH-1 Cobra which was named such because the army did not want to offend the native Americans by naming a gunship after an Indian tribe and have the be percieved as an insult. Shortly thereafter many tribal leaders inquired as to why the Army stopped naming helicopters after Indians. When the reason was explained the leaders stated that there are many aggressive Indian tribes that are fit to name a gunship after which was where the Apache, Kiowa warrior, and formerly the Commanche all got their names from."

UH-1's

no but, they were drawn on a piece of paper in the 15 century.

Bell designed and built the Huey. The term "Huey" came from using the words/letters UH all the time in Vietnam...the UH-1 Iroquois (UH=Utility Helicopter); all US Army choppers minus the Cobra are (were) named after American Indian tribes: Blackhawk, Iroquois, Apache, Cayuse, Kiowa, Chinook, Shawnee, Mohawk (an airplane, fixed wing), Sioux, etc.

Sikorski's Model S-64 Skycrane is known in US Army as the CH-54 Tarhe

Yes. Vietnam was nicknamed the "helicopter war" (among other names). There were more choppers used in the Viet War than any other war in the history of mankind...before, during, or since the Vietnam War.

Any aircraft that is crashing is about to impact with the ground, or is impacting with the ground, so a parachute will be of little use in these circumstances.

Helicopters were being developed at the end of World War II, but were not deployed until the Korean (Conflict) War. Helicopters were first used to evacuated wounded and fallen soldiers from the battlefield and to transport casualties to and from Evac Hospitals (see the movie and TV series M.A.S.H.). As the DoD learned how beneficial helicopters were and how effectively they could move in and out of combat situations, they began to be used as weapons platforms and for troop movement.

Later, during the Battle of la Drang, 14-18 November 1965, the helicopter was the primary mover for elements of the US Army under command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore in the first major conflict between the United States and North Vietnamese forces.

The helicopter in many configurations from MH-6 "Little Birds" to CH-47 Chinooks continues to be one of the hardest used pieces of military hardware, performing recon, supply, close ground support, and armor killing operations. The US Navy and Marine Corps even use specially outfitted Seahawks (Naval and Marine versions of the Blackhawk helicopter) to hunt for and combat enemy submarines.

From personal experience, once of the most gut loosing moments I ever had was during a combat simulation exercise, watching as a flight of AH-64 Apache helicopters rose out of a wheat field half a mile away from my position with almost no sound at all until they were totally visible, close enough to watch the nose guns track those of my missile crew walking across the tarmac.
