What is Helicopter Flight Mechanics Explained about?
Helicopters generate lift through a rotating wing or rotor that is driven by an engine; the rotor blades produce lift through their interaction with the air as they spin, with lift greatest at the blade tips and least at the center. In forward flight, the advancing blade experiences increased airspeed while the retreating blade experiences reduced airspeed, so the blades flap up and down to equalize lift and prevent the helicopter from rolling.
