  slight angle to the other so that the blades intermesh without colliding. [Figure 1-8] This arrangement allows the helicopter to function without the need for a tail rotor. It has high stability and powerful lifting capability. This configuration ... Huskie, for USAF firefighting purposes. The latest Kaman K-MAX model is a dedicated sky crane design used for construction work. Tail Rotor The tail rotor is a smaller rotor mounted vertically or nearvertically on the tail of a traditional…

  Airframe and Systems Construction LSAs may be constructed using wood, tube and fabric, metal, composite, or any combination of materials. In general, the manufacturer selects materials and design to keep the airplane lightweight while maintaining the structural requirements. Composite LSAs ... covering a framework of steel tubes. Of course, LSAs may be anything in between using both metal and composite construction. [Figure 17-3] A pilot transitioning into LSA should understand the types of construction and the typical concerns for each…

  cabin floor by the pilot’s feet. They control the pitch and, therefore, the thrust of the tail rotor blades. [Figure 2-49] Newton’s third law applies to the helicopter fuselage and how it rotates in the opposite direction ... main rotor blades unless counteracted and controlled. To make flight possible and to compensate for this torque, most helicopter designs incorporate an antitorque rotor or tail rotor. The antitorque pedals allow the pilot to control the pitch angle…
