Hi everyone! I'm an American from the Northeast (New England). I want to create a watering hole for people who want to discuss, learn and teach about history through KZbin videos which you guys recommend to me through the comment section or over on Discord. Let's be respectful but, just as importantly, not be afraid to question any and everything about historical records in order to give us the most accurate representation of the history of our species and of our planet!
Having a diverse perspective is crucial to what I want to achieve here so please don't hold back! I want to learn about all I can! Keep recommending and PLEAESE join my Discord :) ( / discord )

This is the aircraft that replaced the Lynx in the Fleet Air Arm. The tail rotor is basically a variable pitch propeller and can provide thrust to left or right equally well. It works like the rudder on a fixed wing aircraft. The stub wings are likely to provide some lift, probably sufficient to counter the weight of the weaponry hung on them

@wessexdruid7598 Ай бұрын

You'll only get any lift, of course, while the aircraft is moving forward - not while in the hover.

@davesimpson5702 Ай бұрын

The weapons wing is mostly a carriage system...it offers a little lift in forward flight - but really not important - the main rotor does all the lifting!

Both rotors stay at a constant speed, but the pilot tilts the blades to change the aircraft's speed.

@ThorbjrnPrytz Ай бұрын

Because physics... The tail rotor counteracts the turning force of the main rotor in order to keep the fuselage pointing forward.

The 'dazzle' camouflage paint scheme on the fast patrol craft was originally developed during the First World War. It is designed to mask the vessel's speed and direction from a distant visual observer.

Hi there, there is a very popular program on british TV I think you would like its called Digging for Britain. Very educational and beautifully filmed. Enjoy

The Tail Rotor is there for Anti Yaw, to cancel out the forces being generated by the main Rotor and is usually connected via a Gearbox and it is controlled by the Pilots Two Pedals. It's this what stops the Body spinning out of control around the central Axis point and keeps it pointing in the required direction.

@paulbromley6687 Ай бұрын

I don’t think it is as important as you imagine that the tail rotor is on one side only as it counters the aircraft’s natural spin.

The RN Wildcats fly over here regularly on the way to or from Portland or other sorties. We also get the Merlins - often flying much lower - and RAF Wokkas (Chinooks). Any plane that has a positive angle of attack will provide a measure of lift at sufficient airspeed, even a plank of wood. It makes sense though to have an aerodynamic weapons wing for such a high performance aircraft. At 3:24, you can see that wing has a definite aerofoil (lift-producing) profile. It may not be a huge wing loading, but it'll help.

All helicopters have two main controls, in the left hand the collective pitch enables climb/decent, in the right hand the cyclic pitch control (joy stick) enables turning, in the Lynx airframe rolling is also possible. Having to constantly use both hands to control the aircraft is the main reason helicopter flying can be so difficult.

Its a catamaran hull........very fast gunship

@gavingiant6900 Ай бұрын

The main one is for direction etc, but the tail rotary is for stability. Basically so it doesn't go out of control, and possibly shake itself apart. Jellyflopters have kinda always been a mystery to some degree, in all the senses of the wording.😉

The new aluminium alloy and carbon fibre composite weapon wing you mentioned, Connor, is to enable a mix of weapons to be carried for a variety of mission aims. This includes a full load of 20 x Thales Martlet light air-to-surface missiles, OR 4 x MBDA Sea Venom anti-ship missiles, OR a mix of 2 x Sea Venoms plus 10 x Martlets, OR 2 x ASW torpedoes.

@IainEPaterson Ай бұрын

@mothmagic1 Absolutely. The stub wings serve to counter the weight of the weaponry/ laser guide pods etc hung off them so as to make the helicopter perform much as it would if unloaded albeit a shade heavier.

@bremnersghost948 Ай бұрын

Wonder if the RN/AAC will make a stripped down version to try and take the long standing Lynx's speed Record?

Helicopter joke: "Do you know that helicopters cannot actually fly? "They are so ugly the earth repels them." Try that out on your favourite helicopter pilot. He might laugh...
