How does a helicopter get its lifting force?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The way thehelicopter gets its lifting force.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Landing and takeoff of helicopter is one of the best examples of aerodynamics.Newton’s laws of motion are the basic mechanism behind this.The main difference between the helicopter and airplane is the ability to fly vertically.
Lifting force is the perpendicular component of oncoming flow direction of fluid.If the fluid is air then this force is known as aerodynamic lift. In case of helicopter this lifting force used to encounter the force due to gravity.This force isalways perpendicular direction of the flow of fluid. In case of helicopter, air is flows in the horizontal direction.Main rotor of the helicopter rotates in the horizontal plane which is useful to apply the lifting force. Force exert on the air in downward direction,when main rotor blade rotates into the horizontal plane. Due to that equal amount of force exert by the air on the rotor blade in the upward direction, according to Newton’s 3rd law of motion. This upward force is nothing but lifting force. Due to this lifting force helicopter fly vertically.
Conclusion: Due to the upward lifting force helicopter fly vertically.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion?
