The issue with the main rotors on most helicopters is control authority in pitch, even on the ground, which is why no one ever enters the rotor arc from the front of the aircraft while spinning, always from left or right. The disc can get to five feet on the H-60 forward. There have been some horrific accidents on small ships involving the main rotor. Tail rotor pretty self explanatory. |

That's a nice video, but having worked in the industry, around jet engines for 20 years, I've seen my fair share (up close and personal) of what a real bird ingestion can do to an engine.

The term is Nr. When the pilot increases collective (essentially the gas pedal) to go fly, the Nr remains constant throughout the flight - at least I always hoped so:cool: In the Navy H-60 the Nr is 258 RPM. Nr below the constant RPM is called "drooping". Drooping is bad. The only time the Nr changes is on shutdown, at least in the Navy. I can see the shutdown checklist as I type:D |
