Principles of Flight Revision

Questions for you …..

1.Name the forces acting on a glider in normal flight a. Force, weight and lift b. Drag, weight and thrust c. Drag, weight and lift d. Drag, thrust and lift

2.How does a glider pilot Increase airspeed? a. Operate the airbrakes b. Lower the nose by pushing the stick forward c.Raise the nose by pulling the stick back d. Lower the nose by pulling the stick back

3. A Viking glider descends from 1640 ft (0.5 km). How far over the ground does it travel (in still air)? a km b. 35 km c. 70 km d km

4. When flying into a headwind, the distance covered over the ground will..... a. Be the same b. Decrease c. Increase d. Take you to Burger King

Rotary wing aircraft Objectives: State the method of generating lift for a helicopter Describe blades, rotor head, pitch angle, collective pitch, rotor disc, cyclic pitch, tail rotor, hand throttle, torque reaction Explain how a helicopter achieves horizontal flight Describe the operation of the following controls: The collective The cyclic The yaw pedals The hand throttle

How does a wing produce lift? Do you remember the wind tunnel?

Lift A B C Air enters at A On reaching B it has increased in speed to get through the narrower gap At C the air has returned to the same values as A If speed increases then pressure drops (and vice versa) So how does this work as a wing?

A B C A wing works in the same way as the wind tunnel Because the air is faster over the top surface, the pressure is decreased The wing is now producing lift LIFT

Rotary wing aircraft Instead of moving the wing through the air as with a fixed wing aircraft, we rotate the “wing” The cross section of a blade is the same shape as a wing The rotating “wing” is now producing lift

How does a helicopter climb and descend? Relative airflow Angle of attack Chord Lift

Climbing How can the “wing” produce more lift? Relative airflow Angle of attack Chord Lift Increase the angle of attack (AoA) Chord

Descending How can the “wing” produce less lift? Lift Decrease the angle of attack (AoA) Increasing or decreasing rotor speed will also affect lift production

Parts of a helicopter Rotor head Blades Tail rotor Rotor disc

Helicopter controls 1.The collective pitch lever 2.The hand throttle 3.The cyclic pitch control 4.The tail rotor control (or yaw pedals)

Cyclic pitch control column

Collective pitch lever

Tail rotor control (or yaw pedals)

Cyclic Collective Yaw Pedals

Hand throttle The collective pitch lever The collective pitch lever often contains a hand throttle (like on a motor cycle)

All blades are changed by the same angle Rotor blade

Torque reaction - yaw What can be done to stop this? Fuselage torque reaction

Which control is used for this? Balancing force Airflow A tail rotor is added to counter the torque reaction

The yaw pedals Moving the yaw pedals will alter the blade pitch equally on all the tail rotor blades Yaw Pedals The yaw pedals can also be used to turn (yaw) the helicopter around the main rotor

Tail rotors

How does a helicopter achieve horizontal flight?

Lift Thrust The “disc” is tilted, producing a horizontal component of thrust Thrust Lift

The rotor disc can be tilted forward, back, left, right depending on the position of the cyclic control

Any questions?

Questions for you …..

1.How does a helicopter generate lift? a. Spinning the main rotor faster b. Spinning the main rotor slower c. Increasing the angle of attack of each rotor blade d. Decreasing the angle of attack of each rotor blade

2.When a helicopter rotor is flown in a circular motion there is an opposing force. What is this force called? a. Lift b. Torque reaction c. Lift reaction d. Drag

3.What is the purpose of a tail rotor? a. Counter torque reaction b. Reduce drag c. Provide thrust d. Control the helicopter in the rolling plane

4.What are the three controls a helicopter uses to control the aircraft’s attitude? a. Collective, cyclic, yaw pedals b. Ailerons, rudders c. Cyclic, elevators, throttle d. Yaw pedals, fin, rotor
