Choosing One for You: A blog about helicopters, their components and how to fly them.

Let us begin with some basic knowledge about these machines. Helicopters are an advanced form of aircraft that can take off and land vertically. They have rotary wings which spin around in a circular motion. They can also move from side to side, hover in one place and even travel backwards. When compared to an airplane, they are a lot more complex to fly with precision because they have more moving parts which the pilot must be aware of while flying.

These machines were first built in 1907 by French inventor Paul Cornu but he wasn’t able to make it rise any higher than 1 foot off the ground. The first successful flight took place in 1939 by Igor Sikorsky who was also the inventor of the helicopter we know today as the Sikorsky R-4 helicopter. This is why you find most of the early helicopters were named after their inventors (they were proud of their work!)

There are two types of helicopters – the single rotor and the twin rotor helicopter. The single rotor has one main rotor and a tail rotor that is attached to a tail boom (the tail boom holds the tail rotor). The twin rotor, on the other hand

Helicopters are the most versatile aircraft in existence. They can land and take off from virtually anywhere, hover, fly backwards, sideways, and even upside down.

There are a lot of different models available to those who want to fly a helicopter, but they can be very expensive. However, there are also a number of builders who construct their own helicopter.

The first thing you will need to do is to decide what type of helicopter you wish to build. There are two main types of helicopters: single rotor and multi-rotor. Both types have their pros and cons.

The new helicopter owner faces a bewildering array of choices in selecting equipment to go along with the helicopter, and even more when it comes to the actual flying. The materials here are intended to help you make informed decisions about what you need, what you might want, and where to get them.

Helicopters are amazing engineering marvels. I hope to be able to educate people about them and teach you how to fly them.

My first encounter with a helicopter was in Vietnam. I saw the damage they could do and also the good they did as a medivac unit. I was fascinated with their ability to hover and fly backwards, but also admired their sleek beauty in flight. After the war I went back to school and studied aeronautical engineering. My goal was to design helicopters. In my senior year my roommate’s father offered me a job working for him in his helicopter factory in California.

The rest is history, as they say. I worked my way up from mechanic, to test pilot and finally Chief Engineer of American Helicopter Incorporated. Now that I am retired, I want to give something back to others who share my fascination with these amazing machines

Helicopters are amazing machines. They can fly forward, backward, side to side and hover. Some can even spin in circles. The rotor blades act as the wings on a plane allowing the helicopter to rise up into the air. The tail rotor counteracts the torque of the main rotor so that the helicopter does not spin out of control.

There are many different types of helicopters including military, civilian and even toy helicopters powered by batteries or gas! One can find helicopter rides at major tourist destinations around the world and some people even own their own helicopters for personal use. In fact, there are even companies that specialize in building custom helicopters for clients who want something unique.

There used to be two main rotor systems on helicopters but now there are three: single-rotor, tandem-rotor and coaxial-rotor. Single-rotor helicopters have a single main rotor with a smaller tail rotor to counteract torque while tandem-rotor helicopters feature two rotors mounted one behind another on opposite sides of the craft’s fuselage (body). It is believed that this system gives more stability than single-rotor designs because it distributes lift evenly over both sides rather than just one side like a single-rotor design does with its tail fin or stabil

Pilot Flight Training. The first thing you will do when you begin your training is to learn how to fly a helicopter. You will probably start out on a two-seat dual controlled helicopter in which you can fly from either seat, with or without an instructor. After a few flights you will be introduced to more advanced maneuvers and more difficult flying skills.

How long it takes to get your helicopter pilot’s license varies depending on where you are training and the type of license you are getting. For example, the FAA requires 40 hours of total flight time for a private pilot’s license.

For private pilots wishing to fly only during the day and in good weather, that may be all they need. But there are several other types of licenses available as well, including commercial and instrument rated licenses. These additional licenses require more training time and additional skill requirements before they are awarded.

The helicopter is a flying machine that has the ability to take off and land vertically. The first successful flight of a helicopter took place on September 14, 1939 by Igor Sikorsky. Since then, helicopters have been used for many different purposes including delivery, construction, military and rescue operations.

The helicopter is different from other aircraft in that it has the ability to take off and land vertically. It can also move forward, backward and side to side without having to turn around. The helicopter is a very versatile machine that can be used in many different ways.

Helicopters are very popular due to their versatility and because they can be used for many different purposes. People who own helicopters usually use them for personal reasons such as pleasure flights or transporting goods from one location to another. Some people use helicopters in their everyday lives such as doctors who use them to fly patients to hospitals or police officers who use them during search and rescue missions.

The main components of a helicopter include its engine(s), rotor blades, tail boom and fuselage (body). Each of these components are important because they work together in order for the helicopter to fly properly.

The engine(s) provide power which rotates the rotor blades which provide lift so that the helicopter can take off
