The mast rotates the upper swash plate and the blades. Transmission— Just as it does in a motor vehicle, a helicopter's transmission transmits power from the engine to the main and tail rotors. The transmission's main gearbox steps down the speed of the main rotor so it doesn't rotate...
(See How Airplanes Work to find out how lift is generated.) The main rotor, attached to the top of the helicopter, spins four 20-foot (6-meter) blades. The pilot maneuvers the helicopter by adjusting a swash plate mechanism. The swash plate changes each blade's pitch (tilt) to ...
My favorite recent example of onomatopoeia is a humorous song about the sound a fox makes (amid other animal noises) called “What Does a Fox Say” by the Norwegian group Ylvis. Dog goes “woof” Cat goes “meow” Bird goes “tweet” And mouse goes “squeak” Cow goes “moo” Frog go...
An airplane by its nature wants to fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance, the helicopter stops flying, immediately and disastrous...
transferred between PCFV and displacement chamber. PCFV does not guarantee gradual pre-compression, i.e. the rate of pressure rise is higher than that of using relief grooves or ideal timing. High pre-compression rate increases the force exerted on the swash plate and hence adverse effect on ...
It consists of a length of about 2 meters, 0.5 meters wide sponge swash plate against the "head" shaped main frame formed. Swash plate equipped with sponge horizontal axis. "Head" frame on the level of the beam, used to adjust the angle of the ramp. The basic practice is: the ...
However, just putting something on the grill does not mean that your meal will be a success. Keep reading to learn more about my tips for BBQ time. There are several types of grills that can be used to barbecue – from simple and inexpensive charcoal grills to built in gas grills worth...
I am glad to say no, it's a primary and very necessary function of all collective pitch RC helicopter swashplate control. Before I get ahead of myself, I better explain what C-C-P-M stands for and what it does... the necessity of it will then become obvious. ...
If the change in posture is due to hardness control, then how does the cilium's hardness abruptly switch between high and low values? (Hardness is a material property given by the moduli of elastic and torsional rigidity.) This switching in posture has not been explained by any theory. ...
The purpose of the Contract design phase is threefold: to produce a set of drawings for the ship that harmoniously work together, to make a suitable information package for a shipyard to develop an accurate price quote from, and to produce the drawings that show that the design meets ...
