   Its primary purpose is to accelerate the air that passes over the top of the airfoil. Even though airplanes and helicopters make their lift in different ways—an airplane must move its wings forward while a helicopter spins its rotors with its engine—both airfoils produce lift using the same principles.

   Jan 11, 2023 · Planes make lift with airfoils (wings that have a curved cross-section). As they shoot forwards, their wings change the pressure and direction of the oncoming air, forcing it down behind them and powering them up into the sky: a plane's engines speed it forward, while its wings fling it up. The big problem with a plane is that lots of air has ...

   May 7, 2024 · During a vertical take-off, pilots use a combination of the helicopter’s collective and cyclic controls to manage lift and direction. The collective control adjusts the pitch angle of all the rotor blades simultaneously to increase or decrease lift. In contrast, the cyclic control changes the pitch angle of each blade individually as it ...

   Whether it's a rotor or a wing, it's the airfoil that generates the lift. The shape and angle of the airfoil in flight makes the air flow faster over the top surface than underneath. The faster the air flows, the lower the pressure. And the difference in pressure between the top surface and the bottom means that the airfoil lifts up.

   How does a helicopter stay in the air?

   • The science of a helicopter is exactly the same as the science of an airplane: it works by generating lift—an upward-pushing force that overcomes its weight and sweeps it into the air. Planes make lift with airfoils (wings that have a curved cross-section).

   How does a helicopter take off vertically?

   • A helicopter can take off vertically due to the lift generated by its rotating rotor blades. These blades act like wings, moving through the air at a controlled angle (pitch) to create a pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces.

   How do helicopter rotors make lift?

   • Where airplanes make lift by using their forward speed to move air over their airfoil-shaped wings, helicopters rotors are airfoils, and instead of moving the aircraft, the rotors are spun by the engine. This isn’t unlike the propeller of an airplane, but they point up towards the sky and make lift, not thrust.

   What physics is behind lift generation in helicopters?

   • The physics behind lift generation in helicopters involves several aerodynamic principles, including Bernoulli’s principle and Newton’s third law of motion. Bernoulli’s principle explains how the faster air moving over the top of the rotor blades creates lower pressure compared to the slower air underneath, thereby generating lift.

   Why do helicopters use airfoils?

   • Like most aircraft, helicopters use airfoils to make lift. An airfoil is a shape commonly found in the cross-section of an airplane’s wings. The rotor blades that spin on top of a helicopter are also airfoils. The shape of an airfoil controls the flow of air around it.
