@land_or_go_around: Helicopter rotor blades do far more than simply spin. The tip of a rotor blade can approach the speed of sound even while the helicopter is hovering, and each blade continuously changes pitch throughout every rotation to control direction and lift. Rotor blades are designed to flex significantly in flight, sometimes bending several feet under load while remaining structurally sound.#helicopter #pilots #funfacts #aviation #avgeek

Brooks :

that GoPro mount faa certified 😂

nerv66 :

its preventing side fumbling of the waneshaft.

cheeky.nyx :

I had no idea they wobbled

Kaedyn :

Great example of feather and flap

jess&Leo :

chat I think we on top of a helicopter

Kevin Summers :

one of my favorite words in the English language is "swashplate"

BenjaminCrum :

That’s a really cool perspective, thanks

skymoeba :

Why does this make helicopters even scarier

Baard👍🙂 :

this cant be so. the vibro in the fuselage would be terrible 😄

Matthias Wagner :

Danke an den Erfinder der Taumelscheibe.

expseair :

Where’s Murdoch ??

Danielcaraibes56.Dany. :

Énorme de voir ce comportement des pelles on imagine en travaux de levage 🙏

gandorf3 :

swash plates are so cool. I learned all about how helicopters work when I built RC ones, huge ones.

Michael Byron :

Physics and aerodynamics are absolutely fascinating. People who actually understand this stuff are the real genuises in this world.

ProjectNova7 :

Fully articulated rotor system. The individual blades can move up and down independantly, as well as back and forth (lead/lag). It actually helps the rotor out quite a bit in balancing everything.

jodo :

le rotor d un hélicoptère c est un sacré merdier

mrjoker :

none of them are safe

Invalid user :

If it ain't got wings I ain't gettin' innit

Thanos :

I thought they were stable as hell. Thanks

Will Harbuck :

because I don't know, is that oscillation normal?

rc8546 :

The only part of a helicopter that actually flies is the main rotor. Everything else is just along for the ride.

buck_turgidson :

You can’t have all the lift on one side you got a very the alpha, depending on the apparent windspeed across the blade

Sureal :

do they oscillate in the same wave or are the waves offset. and I'm assuming this is a natural oscillation and not purposefully done
