Helicopters

Basically, Helicopters Landing is of Two Types, One is Skid Landing, Wheel Landing.

Skid Landing is used for Army, Civil, Ambulance etc.. This type of landing will be on Ground. Wheel Landing is for Navy, where landing will be on Ships.

A Helicopter - the number of blades is irrelevant.

On a side note - what keeps a helicopter in the air?

It's so ugly the earth repels it!

Until the red light comes on that is on front of the charger.

There is no single answer. Each aircraft has a different payload, mission, operability and tank capacity.

A Swashplate and Support assembly and a scissors and sleeve assembly are installed together, mounted around mast at top of transmission. The control unit transmits movements from cyclic and collective control systems mounted in cabin and fuselage to linkages which rotate with main rotor. Swashplate is mounted on a universal support, for tilt related to position of cyclic control stick. Collective sleeve moves vertically within swashplate support, as actuated by collective control stick. Combined effects on scissor levers andupper linkage determine main rotor lift and directional control.

There are several large cargo helicopters like the MV-22 Osprey, the CH-53 and some birds made in Russia...but the only other helicopter I know of that has the same rotor configuration is the CH-46 the Marines are replacing with the Osprey.

I would guess about 50,000 pounds ....

If you have to ask it's too much

there are some planes designed so that the wings are made of propellor blades so that it rises straight up of the ground, but the differemce is that its still called a plane, not a helicopter

it depends. sometimes they make the helicopter turn. On models when they are facing up like the main rotor, they propell it forward so the gyro can fall to one side and lean the chopper forward.

The major purpose of the back rotor is to counteract the torque of the main rotor. On helicopters with a single top rotor, if there were no back rotor, the torque would cause the helicopter to spin around as soon as it lifted off the ground.

Helicopters do have Trim but not in the traditional sesne of aircraft of the fixed wing variety. they apperently have devices which can be employed which hold the cyclic (control stick) in place, though i can not say to what degree of freedom.

None. It does not need wheels. It always takes off vertically. There are some helicopters w/ wheels and they have about 3 wheels. No more than 5.

It can how as much as 1-2 cobra helicopters.

An inverted airfoil on the the horizontal stabilizer of an airplane will stabilize the aircraft along the horizontal axis in forward flight.

The small rotor on the tail is to counter-act the torque of the big rotor on top.

So it is used for steering and to keep the helicopter stable.

They do not use mufflers.

yes but when a emp hits a helicopter it will shut down all electronics in the helicopter then losing controle of it self then it will crash

A Huey helicopter, or super chopper, that is well maintained, can do upwards of 155 knots. That's the equivalent of a Ferrari Modena doing like 162mph.

The RAH-66 Comanche Helicopter, however the project was canceled because of the cost.

The AH-1 Cobra was first fielded in South Vietnam in 1966.

Born on the battlefield(s) of South Vietnam, the US Army used the gunship (AH-1 Cobra) as aerial artillery firing mini-guns (7.62mm), 40mm grenade, and 2.75 inch rockets.

There are numerous advantages to a Black Hawk helicopter. The first is that it is durable as sh*t. It will get you where you need to go(not speaking about comfort here). It can also be transformed so that the injured and wounded can be attended inside the aircraft. Lastly, it gets troops and supplies in and out and it has a great track record and has been around for quite a while.
