The use of advanced computer modelling has enabled the accurate prediction of rotor downwash and outwash for the first time, ...

UK researchers believe they have discovered a "powerful new approach" to demonstrate safety risks posed by hovering helicopters or other vertical take-off vehicles by using video simulations to ...

They found that the micro-helicopter's blades are as efficient at hovering as the average hummingbird. But while the micro-copter's blades kept pace with the middle-of-the-pack hummingbird wings ...

In what appears to be a low-risk move, Airbus Helicopters has unveiled ... stabiliser out of the main rotor downwash, the T-tail increases hover performance by 80kg, while the tail boom is also ...

In addition, with the yaw axis control, the GFC 600H can maintain position over the ground and hold heading in hover. With the GFC 600H in H130 helicopters, aircraft navigation works in ...
