🚁 How do helicopters fly?

🚁 Helicopters fly with big spinning blades on top called rotors! When the rotors spin very fast, they push the air down, and the helicopter goes up into the sky! ✨

Just like when you blow on a pinwheel and it spins, the helicopter's rotors spin to make it fly!

🚁 Helicopters fly using their main rotor (the big spinning blades on top) and a tail rotor (a smaller one at the back). The main rotor spins fast to lift the helicopter up by pushing air downward. The tail rotor helps it turn and stay balanced!

Pilots use controls to tilt the rotor blades, making the helicopter go forward, backward, or sideways. Cool, right? 🌪️

🚁 Helicopters fly due to aerodynamic lift created by their rotating blades. The main rotor’s angle (called pitch) changes as it spins, generating uneven lift that pulls the helicopter upward. The tail rotor counters the torque effect to prevent spinning.

Here’s how it works:

• Lift: Faster-spinning blades or steeper angles increase lift.
• Direction: Tilting the rotor disk moves the helicopter forward/backward.
• Control: Pilots adjust the collective (lift) and cyclic (tilt) controls.

Helicopters can hover because their rotors constantly adjust to balance gravity and lift! 🚁⚙️
