- Chapter 6: Aircraft Weight & Balance › Helicopter Weight & Balance › General Concepts
Helicopter Weight & Balance General Concepts All the terminology and concepts that apply to airplane weight and balance also apply generally to helicopter weight and balance. However, there are some specific differences that need to be identified. Most helicopters have ... much more restricted CG range than airplanes. In some cases, this range is less than 3". The exact location and length of the CG range is specified for each helicopter and usually extends a short distance fore…

- Chapter 2: Aerodynamics, Aircraft Assembly, & Rigging › Rotorcraft Controls › Antitorque Pedals
Antitorque Pedals The antitorque pedals are located on the 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 of the 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…
