How does a helicopters rotor blades make the helicopter turn left and right?

By adjusting the speed of tail rotor, which points to the side, the pilot can turn the helicopter in flight. The main upper rotor actually plays only a minor part in making helicopter turn. The part supplying most of the control is the tail rotor. Because the main rotor is spinning in one direction, without a tail rotor, the body of the helicopter would spin around in circles in the opposite direction. The reason for this is explained in the first part of Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite action. The torque generated to make the rotor turn also exerts torque on the body of the helicopter "willing" it to spin the opposite direction. However, the tail rotor spins, pushing air to the side. This creates force in the opposite direction, keeping the helicopter stable. By simply adjusting the speed of the tail rotor, the helicopter can be turned in flight.


What is a back rotor of a helicopter used for?

it depends. sometimes they make the helicopter turn. On models when they are facing up like the main rotor, they propell it forward so the gyro can fall to one side and lean the chopper forward. The major purpose of the back rotor is to counteract the torque of the main rotor. On helicopters with a single top rotor, if there were no back rotor, the torque would cause the helicopter to spin around as soon as it lifted off the ground.


Why does a typical small helicopter with a single rotor have a second small rotor on its tail?

The small rotor on the tail, called the tail rotor, counteracts the torque produced by the main rotor of the helicopter. Without the tail rotor, the helicopter would spin uncontrollably in the opposite direction of the main rotor. The tail rotor helps maintain the helicopter's balance and heading.


How a helicopter used of thrust for flying?

A helicopter uses its main rotor to generate lift by producing thrust in the opposite direction to lift the aircraft off the ground. The rotor blades are angled to create a pressure difference above and below, which generates lift. The helicopter also uses a tail rotor or anti-torque system to counteract the torque produced by the main rotor and maintain stability in flight.


How the rotor is made to turnin a helicopter and in autogyro?

In the helicopter it is turned by the engine, through the transmission. In autogyro it rotates freely with forward movement


Another name for helicopter propelers?

Main rotor and tail rotor. The main rotor is on top of the helicopter consisting of two or more blades, and the tail rotor is at the back of the helicopter, which also consists of two or more blades.
