How Does A Helicopter Work: Everything You Need To Know About Helicopters

The video tutorial explores the evolution and advantages of helicopters over airplanes, focusing on their ability to take off and land in confined spaces. It delves into the aerodynamics of helicopter flight, explaining the forces of weight, thrust, drag, and lift, and how rotor blades generate lift through Bernoulli's principle. The tutorial also covers helicopter stability, the role of tail rotors, and the challenges of torque. It discusses helicopter limitations, such as altitude restrictions, and special maneuvers like flying upside down. Finally, it addresses emergency procedures like auto rotation and highlights the diverse applications of helicopters in rescue, military, and civilian operations.
