Is it possible to lift a helicopter?
Unlike an airplane, a helicopter does not have to move quickly through the air to have lift. That fact means it can move straight up or down.

Which is the safest helicopter in the world?
Alex Zosel told the BBC that his device was safer than a traditional helicopter because its systems had more redundancy built-in. The Volocopter can continue to fly if some of its batteries or rotors fail, and can land itself when battery power is low.
What type of rotor system does a R44 have?
single main rotor
The R44 is a four-place, single main rotor, single engine helicopter constructed primarily of metal and equipped with skid-type landing gear. The primary fuselage structure is welded steel tubing and riveted aluminum sheet. The tailcone is a monocoque structure in which aluminum skins carry most primary loads.
What helicopter was Kobe in?
Sikorsky S-76B

Are R44 helicopters safe?
Nobody knows exactly how many deaths there have been worldwide, although it has been reported that there have been 313 Robinson R44 crashes, resulting in 176 deaths. The cause of the crash was unknown in nearly 60 per cent of the cases.
How does takeoff and climb affect helicopter performance?
Takeoff and climb performance is greatly affected by wind. When taking off into a headwind, effective translational lift is achieved earlier, resulting in more lift and a steeper climb angle. When taking off with a tailwind, more distance is required to accelerate through translation lift.
How are the blades of a helicopter designed?
The rotor hub and blades are quite strong and can take the helicopter weight at-least temporarily (leaving aside the balancing issue). The blades are designed to overcome stresses in flapping and can take the load.
How did someone fix their model helicopter to the ground?
My explanation: Someone took his model helicopter, broke part of the tail off (note that the vertical part of it is missing in the clip!) and carefully balanced it on its rotor head. Mind you, he could even have fixed the rotor head to the ground with some tent stakes. There is enough structure inside of the hinges to facilitate this.
Why is the lower right of a helicopter dangerous?
a crash. The shaded area on the lower right is dangerous due to the airspeed and proximity to the ground resulting in dramatically reduced reaction time for the pilot in the case of mechanical failure, or other in-flight emergencies. This shaded area at the lower right is not portrayed in H/V diagrams for multiengine helicopters capable of safely
