Tweet @SmarterYouTube . I would appreciate it if you share this by clicking here: http://on.fb.me/ChopperPhysics2 . Trust me, there’s more to Chopper Physics…
Helicopter and flight control, there are 3 types of chopper control:
- Collective (Up & Down). The amount of bite of the rotor blades.
- Cyclic (Pitch & Roll). Change of the tilt in the blades on every rotation.
- Antitorque (Yaw). Rear rotor.
bored
Youtube is definitely in need of a High Five button.
THIS is the most interesting video i’ve seen this past years ! Thank you for what you are doing 🙂
I don’t know about RC helicopters, but most personnel helicopters do change the speed of the back rotor to change direction. if the speed increases it rotates right, if decreases, left.
I wouldn’t know. I’m part of the next generation. 🙂
Didn’t we all?
You spent your time as a kid looking at drawings by Leonardo Da Vinci. That explains a lot of things.
You should make a video about wireless system and how it works.
I didn’t realize a helicopter could do so many things.
The one he had at the start…
I have the same helicoptor as him, well I think so. Mine is a difrent color but the exact same controller 😀
Hicks- breaking stereotypes
the guy in a suit looks very scared. ._.
have you ever cut in to a chopper ?
wow
pro chopper pilot? good Lord lol
You know, I never really grasped the mechanics of how the collective worked (despite knowing what the collective does–change the pitch of the rotors). Now I know. Incredible.
YOU WERE AT DULLES!?? That’s where I live!
The guy looks like he is scared shitless around 1:50
where can get that strange helicopter?
Carl sounds like a southern Dan O’Brien.
go home chopper , u r drunk
Destin, Please buddy tell me what model is this RC Heli? Great Vids, Always.
that design is in my inventions book
hey Destin, I think you did not explain how helis don’t drift, right?
btw, Helicopter physics is the best series you made. Nice stuff!
Waited the whole video for this, was not disappointed xD
Helicopters can’t really fly – they’re just so ugly that the earth immediately repels them.
I never said it was a good idea.
You are right they CAN do it, but they are not authorized maneuvers. Usually after they are performed, major maintenance must be performed (i.e. busted strap packs.) Just as a race car CAN go 200mph for 4 hours, at the end the engines must be rebuilt.
that was teh most unbelievable RC helicopter flight i’ve ever seen. lol
where did you get that Drawings of Da Vinci book?
Heli-guy looks really nervous.
There are Helis that can do limited aerobatics. The Apache and Comanche are examples from the US arsenel. Check it out. – watch?v=1GIiYV9YEnY – Full loop starts at 2:30. There is a severe limit to the amount of G a Chopper can tale due to the change in wing (rotor blade) loading as pitch changes, so the manouveres are much slower than a conventional aircraft (or a model which has smaller parts). There are probably a few russian/Chinese choppers that can do the same type of manouvres as well.
well i dont have proof cuz pilots wouldnt handle the stresses but with bigger crafts it requires alot more strength
I think Smarter ever day is imitating mythbusters
That guy looks verrry nervous hahaha
I can do that yeah yeah I can………well not really
Cant enjoy any YouTube video without encountering buffer
This guy looks like the prime minister of Slovakia……google “Robert Fico” !!!! :D
For people asking if a real helicopter can do those things. Theoretically yes, but technology is no where near where it would be necessary. The amount to power required to fling an actual helicopter like that would be astronomical. Plus the pilot wouldn’t be able to handle that many G’s with out going unconscious. The apache longbow has a significant weight to power ratio and is able to pull arial combat moves such as twists and flips, but no where near that speed.
for example the wings of a eurofighter typhoon however thin they are are built to withstand the newtonian force of 11 VolksWagon polos EACH if it was stood on the runway.
truucooooooooooooooooo
Nice video guys!
mr. ledbetter looks scared when he talks…
Canadian Helicopter Corporation file for bankruptcy after conviction on drugs and arms importation. Vancouver News.
its the size that is the difference the bigger something is the more power it needs. If you double the size of something it weighs 4 times as much. That’s why Rc helicopters are so massively over powered
reminds me of a dragonfly
Intro was awesome!!
LOL !!
Sweet RC Heli, cant imagine the pricew tag on that
Then dont watch :P
Why did that guy look so freaked out in the beginning?
huhuhuhuhu
I’m curious as to how the Sikorsky X2 Demonstrator works then. It’s a dual main-rotor, rear facing – rear propeller.
What are you doing helicopter?!
Go home, you’re drunk.
This is boring
i have that same awesome map in the back during the beginning!
Very crazy
dat helicopter
carefull with those blades man! I was pretty scared myself!
Here’s a secret, I only watch these videos for the physic-defying helicopter.
Wow that’s realy good, but sometimes, haha… Realy crazy to flew
nice apache
Hah when he flew away that was crazy skills tbh
This is how it’s supposed to be taught, totally simple and neat. keep up the good work, thanks a lot Destin
4:06 Wait… WTF…
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made Him known – JESUS CHRIST IS LORD
4:07 please seek medical attention, your helicopter is now having seizures.
1 second… i dont know how but all this u just explained i already knew this is creepy im not supposed to know things like that
Where did you get your chopper from? Want one like that
ikr lmao
The guy never moves his eyebrows,he always looks surprised!
@Maaartah (note that I have not watched the video) When the rotor spins the air doesn’t just go straight, if also goes outward and in a circle around the helicopter. The air spinning around the helicopter creates the opposite effect of the helicopter spinning. That’s why the back prop is always spinning(to compensate for this effect) when the main rotor changes speed the back rotor needs to change speed as well. Hope that answers your question.
so many parts machined on this helicopter……….. which usually means its very very expensive……….. which i wouldn’t not fly this helicopter with this magic!
Interesting stuff good camera views of the heli preforming!
What’s the problem if the rotor would change speed?
I tried to flip my RC Helicopter once…. that was the last time it ever flew!!! :'(
that was not the air and space museum of Washington D.C. That was the Dulles Museum.
Helicopter ninja. So, dare I ask the following: This guy is flying that helicopter like a ninja, this tiny chopper should work on the same mechanics as a full size helicopter (please correct me if I’m wrong), is it possible to fly a full size helicopter in that way? (If your body was able to handle the gravitational forces) Why or why not?
What sort of helicopter is the rc one
Seems like that dude left his startled eyebrows on
Richard looker a little bit startled
Helicopters do not fly. The are just so ugly that the earth repels them 😉
