During emergency condition, between flight and flight idle positions. This is useful during any event which would cause engine or rotor RPM to go too high or while landing after a tail rotor failure. Landing Light Switch has a three position which are " off " , " forward " and "both ".
In forward , only the forward light is activated. In both, the forward and downward lights are activated. Power Trim Switch ,by holding it in " increase " or " decrease " the pilot can set the RPM that the pilot attempt to maintain.
All Rights Reserved. Thankfully, Igor Sikorsky had the idea to install a tail rotor to counter this torque reaction and provide directional control. In twin-rotor helicopters, the torque produced by the rotation of the front rotor is offset by the torque produced by a counterrotating rear rotor. Landing skids -- Some helicopters have wheels, but most have skids, which are hollow tubes with no wheels or brakes.
A few models have skids with two ground-handling wheels. The main rotor, of course, is the most important part of a helicopter. It's also one of the most complex in terms of its construction and operation. In the next section, we'll peer at the rotor assembly of a typical helicopter. Sign up for our Newsletter!
