45. Schumer Calls For Limits On Helicopters To Hamptons - New York Times
    Citing noise complaints and potential safety hazards, Senator Charles E. Schumer called for new limits on helicopter traffic over Long Island.

    Extractions: By KEN BELSON and MARIA NEWMAN Published: July 10, 2007 Just as the Hamptons’ high season was getting under way, United States Senator Charles E. Schumer called yesterday for new limits on the growing number of helicopters ferrying privileged folks to the East End of Long Island, citing noise complaints and potential safety hazards. “The scourge of low-flying helicopters has risen on Long Island unabated for far too long,” Mr. Schumer, a Democrat of New York, said in a statement before a news conference in Smithtown, in Suffolk County. “If we don’t act now, the sky will be the only limit. These helicopters pose a serious danger to schools and communities all across Long Island, in addition to being a terrible annoyance for countless families.” Rather than call for specific cutbacks, Mr. Schumer introduced legislation to require the Federal Aviation Administration to study helicopter traffic over Long Island, and report within 90 days on ways to reduce noise and divert the flight paths from homes.

    Extractions: A History of Helicopter Flight J. Gordon Leishman Professor of Aerospace Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park. "The idea of a vehicle that could lift itself vertically from the ground and hover motionless in the air was probably born at the same time that man first dreamed of flying." Igor Ivanovitch Sikorsky Overview The Dream of True Flight Key Problems in Attaining Vertical Flight Early Thinking ... References Text on all pages J. G. Leishman 2000, with extracts from the author's book " Principles of Helicopter Aerodynamics Cambridge University Press 2000. D Back to Contents C ompared to airplanes, the development of which can be clearly traced to Otto Lilienthal Samuel Langley , and the first fully controlled flight of a piloted powered aircraft by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903, the origins of successful helicopter flight are considerably less clear. A pure helicopter can be defined as any flying machine using rotating wings (i.e., a rotor with blades that spin about a shaft) to provide lift, propulsion, and control forces that enable the aircraft to hover relative to the ground without forward flight speed to generate these forces. In addition, to be practical, the machine must also be able to fly forward, climb, cruise at speed, and then descend and come back into a hover for landing. This is the dream of true flight, a feat only achieved in nature by the hummingbird or dragonfly. Nature has inspired humankind for literally hundreds of years before the vertical flight machine we now know as a helicopter became a practical reality.

History of the Helicopter I Print this section Helicopter , aircraft that can take off and land vertically and can also hover motionless in the air. Helicopters are known as rotary-wing aircraft, as opposed to fixed-wing aircraft such as airplanes . A helicopter produces thrust by means of the blades of a main rotor as they rotate above the fuselage, or body, of the aircraft. As the blades rotate, an airflow is created over them, resulting in lift, which raises the helicopter skyward. The same rotor blades can be controlled to make the helicopter travel forward, backward, or sideways. Some helicopters can achieve forward flight at speeds of over 320 km/h (200 mph). Helicopters vary in design, but all must provide a means of counteracting the torque, or rotational force, produced on the shaft that turns the main rotor. Otherwise, the main rotor would rotate in one direction while the fuselage would rotate in the other. One common solution is to use a tail rotor. A small tail rotor is mounted vertically at the rear of the helicopter and produces a side thrust, preventing the fuselage from rotating. By increasing or decreasing the thrust produced by the tail rotor, the pilot can steer the helicopter to the left or right. Another solution is to use tandem rotors, that is, two main rotors turning in opposite directions. Since each rotor cancels the torque produced by the other, a tandem-rotor helicopter does not need a tail rotor.

Helix RC Helicopter From Michael James FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! In the RC hobby, flying RC helicopters is often considered the hardest RC skill to master. This might make the marketing claims for easy-to-fly toy RC helicopters hard to understand. The difference is in the helicopter design, the controls, and the range of movement that the helicopter is capable of performing. Hobby-grade RC helicopters are designed to look and operate very much like full-size helicopters. Toy-grade helicopters are configured and operate a little differently. They are designed for more stable flight so that children can more easily use the transmitter and control the flight. These changes mean that the helicopter is not capable of the same speed or maneuvers as hobby-grade helicopters. Both can still be fun to fly.
