Yes. To fly a helicopter, you require a rotorcraft license in the US.

'Hingless rotorcraft flight dynamics'

A helicopter is an aircraft without fixed wings. Helicopters can also be known as rotorcraft.

An alpha hinge is a hinge perpendicular to the plane of rotor rotation on any rotorcraft, about which the blades trail or lag.

There are a large number of Spanish inventions. Some of these include Molotov cocktails, the rotorcraft, as well as the pocket knife.

When the wings of a rotorcraft are made shorter, the rotational inertia of the rotor system decreases. This reduction in inertia allows the rotor to accelerate more quickly, resulting in an increase in rotational speed. Shorter wings also reduce drag and increase the rotorcraft's overall efficiency, contributing to a faster speed.

According to the FAI, the distance record for a rotorcraft without landing is 3,561.55 km Date of flight: 06/04/1966 Pilot: Robert G. FERRY (USA) Course/place: Culver City, CA - Ormond Beach, FL (USA) Rotorcraft: MDD-Hughes YOH-6A (1 Allison T63-A5A, 317 shp)

Military helicopters can refuel in mid-air so they potentially can fly indefinately. Of course, the crew probably can't take that much pounding.

Requirements, such as age, will depend on where you live. After that you will have to study to get your helicopter license, practice flying for a certain number of hours and get a Commercial Rotorcraft License.

Fixed wing- air is moved past the wings to create lift.

Helicopter- the wings (rotor blades) are moved through the air to create lift.

Categories of aircraft for which a pilot may be rated are:[1][2] * Airplane * Rotorcraft * Glider * Lighter than air * Powered lift * Powered parachute * Weight-shift-control Most aircraft categories are further broken down into classes. If a category is so divided, a pilot must hold a class rating to operate an aircraft in that class:[1] * The Airplane category is divided into single-engine land, multi-engine land, single-engine sea and multi-engine sea classes * The Rotorcraft category is divided into helicopter and gyroplane classes * The Lighter-than-air category is divided into airship and balloon classes * The Powered parachute category is divided into powered parachute land and powered parachute sea * The Weight-shift-control category is divided into weight-shift-control land and weight-shift-control sea

Although it was claimed to have been done in 2005, it would be difficult if not impossible due to the limitations of rotorcraft at high altitudes. There is also no suitably large landing space at the summit, so excursions using helicopters are extremely unlikely.

Leonardo DaVinci (1452-1519) designed flying machines such as gliders, ornithopters, and helical rotorcraft. But these were never built. Modern airplanes (heavier-than-air craft) depend on the motors, notably the internal combustion engine and the jet engine, not developed until the 19th century.

Aircraft are divided up into two main categories, lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air aircraft.

Lighter-than-air aircraft utilise the buoyant effect of using a gas that is less dense than atmospheric air, hot air, hydrogen, helium and is composed of hot air balloons, airships and others collectively known as aerostats.

Heavier-than-air craft use an airfoil(wing) moving through the air to produce a pressure difference that results in a vertical thrust or lift, as long as the airfoil is moving this lift is produced.

Heavier-than-air craft are split up into fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft.

Fixed wing aircraft are the most common of all aircraft, usually known as aeroplanes. They utilise forward movement, from propellers or jet turbine engines, to move their wings through the air and thus generate lift.

Gliders also use the same principle as planes but frequently need to be towed to get airborne, then they can use updrafts and thermals to gain height.

Rotorcraft also use an airfoil to generate lift but instead of moving the body of the aircraft to generate lift they rotate the airfoils around a mast. Similar idea to propellors used on planes except vertically and tend to be much more complicated.

There are two types of rotorcraft, helicopters which use an engine of some type to rotate the blades of the rotor and autogyros which use their forward motion to set the blades of the rotor spinning.

Tiltrotors like the V-22 Osprey are both fixed-wing and rotorcraft.

VTOL jets like the Harrier and F-35B Lightning II are capable of hovering like helicopters but are fixed-wing aircraft.

Saturn's three man-made satellites are Cassini, Huygens, and Dragonfly. Cassini was an orbiter and Huygens was a lander, while Dragonfly is set to be a rotorcraft lander designed for Titan.

The speed of the rotor directly affects the amount of lift generated by a rotorcraft. As the rotor spins faster, it creates more lift by generating greater airflow over the rotor blades, allowing the aircraft to climb or maintain altitude. Conversely, decreasing the rotor speed reduces lift, potentially causing the aircraft to descend.

No, you need an actual gyro plane license. However, if you already posses a helicopter license, the gyrocopter license is considered an add-on, since they are both in the same category, being rotorcraft. This implies you will not be required to do another written exam. Of course you will need ground instruction, as well as flight time in the gyro before your actual checkride.

A slang term for a helicopter, also the name of a short-lived television adventure show somewhat similar to (Ripcord) but about a two-man helicopter crew and various assignments and gigs. the term was never applied to autogyros, even the compound autogyro such as the Focke-Aghelis that was operated by Hanna Reitsch in a Berlin swports stadium (about the size of MSG) in l933, arguably the first public demonstration in close quaqrters of a rotorcraft. Whirlybirds was out around l962 or 63 later on reruns.

A helicopter is an aircraft that is lifted and propelled by one or more horizontal rotors, each rotor consisting of two or more rotor blades. Helicopters are classified as rotorcraft or rotary-wing aircraft to distinguish them from fixed-wing aircraft because the helicopter achieves lift with the rotor blades which rotate around a mast.

A helicopter takes off vertically by using a set of blades shaped like aerofoils to generate lift by rotating the blades at high speed and as such does not require runways

Hovering is when a rotorcraft (helicopter) is airborne and stationary over a point with no movement in any direction. Flying is anytime the helicopter is airborne and not stationary and is moving in any direction. The FAA legal guys say hovering is flying. As in "...the intent to fly..."
