Helicopters are unlike any kind of fixed-wing aircraft, possessing the unique abilities to take off and land vertically, hover in place, and fly in multiple directions at a quick pace. The mechanics of how helicopters achieve flight are thus significantly different as well, with rotating blades utilized to create lift, different cockpit controls, and much more. To help you have a better understanding of these aircraft, we will explore the innovative engineering and essential components that allow helicopters to fly in this blog.
