Helicopter Market Research Reports

A helicopter (informally referred to as a "chopper" or a "helo") is a kind of rotorcraft wherein raise and thrust are provided by one or more engine-pushed rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forwards, backwards, and laterally. These attributes enable helicopters to be used in congested or remoted areas where fastened-wing aircraft would often not be capable to take off or land. The aptitude to efficiently hover for prolonged periods of time permits a helicopter to accomplish duties that fixed-wing aircraft and other forms of vertical takeoff and touchdown aircraft can not perform.

The phrase helicopter is tailored from the French h�licopt�re, coined by Gustave de Ponton d'Amecourt in 1861, which originates from the Greek helix/helik- = "twisted, curved" and pteron = "wing".
Helicopters have been developed and built through the first half-century of flight, with the Focke-Wulf Fw 61 being the first operational helicopter in 1936. S...

Helicopters have been developed and built through the first half-century of flight, with the Focke-Wulf Fw 61 being the first operational helicopter in 1936. Some helicopters reached restricted production, but it surely was not until 1942 that a helicopter designed by Igor Sikorsky reached full-scale production,with 131 plane built.Although most earlier designs used more than one most important rotor, it is the single important rotor with anti-torque tail rotor configuration that has develop into the most typical helicopter configuration. Tandem rotor helicopters are additionally in widespread use, because of their better payload capacity. Quadrotor helicopters and other forms of multicopter have been developed for specialised applications.
