You may be one of the lucky ones who has ever traveled by helicopter or, simply, your curiosity about these aircraft goes beyond seeing them fly over you from time to time. The fact is that if you want to know everything about your favorite aerial vehicle, you have to start by knowing the parts that helicopters are made of.
Regardless of the helicopter model, these aircraft have a very characteristic component: the rotor or rotors that are used to rise and perform movements. It is also responsible for withstanding the vibrations, corrosion or centrifugal forces to which the helicopter is subjected. Therefore we can say that the rotor is the fundamental part for this aircraft to have these characteristics.
Below we can see this component of the helicopter more clearly
However, it is not the only thing that the helicopter uses to be able to fly. Despite seeming to be a much simpler operating device than other types of aircraft such as the most sophisticated aircraft models, helicopters have the following key components:
- Rotor blade and hub whose functions are based on propelling and sustaining the helicopter.
- Oscillating plate. It serves as support and changes the position of the helicopter.
- Cockpit from where the pilot controls every movement.
- Rudder pedal that is operated with the foot.
- Set of cables synchronized for the direction of the helicopter.
- Landing skid.
- Tail of the helicopter.
- Stabilizer. It serves to automatically correct helicopter errors and deviations.
- Fin.
- Anti-torque rotor. It is the auxiliary that guarantees lift and propulsion.
Of course, if what you are looking for is to see a helicopter up close, ask the pilot about any questions that may arise and also take advantage of the visit to meet some point of our country from a bird's eye view, by clicking here you will find all the helicopter flightsthat you can take in Spain and at the best prices.
