    Rotor Makes A Helicopter Move Upwards How Does A Helicopter Work? In order to fly‚ an object must have "lift." Lift is what pushes something up. Lift is made by wings. Wings have a curved shape on top and are flatter on the bottom. That shape makes air flow over the top faster than under the bottom. The faster air on top of the wing makes suction on the top of the wing and the wing moves up. Airplanes get lift from their wings. A helicopter’s rotor blades are spinning wings. A helicopter moves air

    Definition: A helicopter (or chopper‚ helo or whirlybird) is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically‚ to hover‚ and to fly forwards‚ backwards‚ and laterally. These attributes allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft would usually not be able to take off or land. The capability to hover efficiently for extended periods of time allows a helicopter to accomplish tasks

    Helicopters Back in the 1500’s there was a renaissance man named Leonardo Di Vinci‚ this man was the first man to develop and draw the idea of a machine that is capable of vertical flight‚ which we now know as a helicopter. His design would have worked‚ but only theoretically. Many others tried but were missing two things‚ the understanding the nature of lift‚ and an engine. At the end of the nineteenth century‚ the internal combustion engine made it possible for the development of full sized

    The constant high-profile of helicopter accidents‚ such as the recent crash of the deadly medical helicopter in Oklahoma City‚ suggests that they are potential risk-makers. With a well-trained pilot and a helicopter that will operate properly‚ these incidents would most likely not occur. The major reasons that cause the helicopter accidents are the helicopter’s inherent flexibility‚ low visibility conditions‚ and the fact that they usually maintain a short distance to the ground. Due to these reasons

    the teacher made a helicopter. It twisted and followed a straight line fall. My objective is to find if there is a proportional relation between the weigh you add to the helicopter‚ with the stability and the speed. I´m going to analyze what happens to the acceleration and stability of the helicopter when the weight of the clip differs. How does the weight of the clip influence the speed and stability of the helicopter? I think that the velocity of the falling helicopter is directly proportional
