  3. Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School History The first helicopter was sketched by Leonardo da Vinci in 1475. Not until 1909 was a helicopter able to remain in the air for two minutes. In 1942 de la Cierva managed to fly 12km in his autogiro The first helicopter worthy of the name was the Focke Wulf Fw61. In 1963 it flew for 16 minutes at an altitude of 20 metres above the ground.

  4. Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School How does a helicopter fly ? LIFT The rotor of a helicopter creates lift and generates propulsion (forwards, backwards and sideways). Individual rotor blades are shaped like aeroplane wings with a curved upper surface. Air flows faster over the top of the blades than beneath giving rise to an upward suction effect. The air flow below the rotor blades is slower resulting in pressure, so the total effect is that the helicopter is pushed upwards.

  5. Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School Propulsion The direction in which a helicopter flies is controlled by changing the angle of attack, or pitch, of the individual rotor blades. This change is cyclical FORWARDS The pitch of the rotor blades is varied precisely as the blades pass a certain point determined by the swash plate. BACKWARDS Pulling the cyclic control back increases the pitch of the rotor blades as they pass in front of the hub. This results in backward flight.

  6. Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School Propulsion Pulling the cyclic control to the right or left increases the pitch of the rotor blades as they pass to the left or right of the hub. SIDEWAYS The result is sideways flight.

  7. Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School Bearwood Primary School Tail Rotor The main rotor generates a torque which has to be offset by controlling the thrust produced by the tail rotor. STABILITY So, the tail rotor serves to stabilise the helicopter. Without it the helicopter would rotate about its own axis. The tail rotor is controlled by the pedals
