It's the inner 20% of the rotor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorotation The graphical elements that are on page 1-46 and 1-47 of this manual were a huge help: http://armypubs.army.mil/doctrine/DR_pubs/dr_a/pdf/fm3_04x203.pdf The type of aircraft int his video is an R-44 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tweet Ideas to me at: http://twitter.com/smartereveryday I'm "ilikerockets" on Snapchat.

  1. just put ejector seat. lol
  2. Drifting down 2 feet isn't falling lol
  3. Arma 3 pilots know this already.
  4. u have to realize that in the beginning, they had to land the heli, then Destin had to put that camera there, go back to the heli, fly, and land back again, then approach that camera, all to get that shot of him coming out of the heli...
  5. I sure hope his dog wears a seatbelt.
  6. is there any reason why the video is 9 11 long? XD
  7. I am disappointed that anybody with an advanced science degree doesn't already understand the principles of flight. Helicopter blades are wings--this wasn't really talked about in the video. Consequently, all the principles of flight like Bernoulli's principle still apply, as well as all of the potential energy any aircraft accumulates as it gains altitude. That being said, if a plane without an engine is a glider then it's not a particularly good one, and a helicopter even less so. In the latter case it is type of gliding that could be fairly characterized as "falling like a rock".
  8. I'm glad that your letting this be known it's something most people don't know outside of the areospace industry! Keep the facts flowing! I just subscribed I'm looking forward to following your channel!
  9. I just got smarter
  10. SUBSCRIBED
  11. Is it just me, or does Neil look like Lando Calrissian?
  12. I wish I could spend my weekend proving Neil degrasse Tyson wrong
  13. Those aren't glaciers.. Al Gore said so..
  14. Lord Chacanka!
  15. That's not a glacier at 2:10 that's the remnants of a glacier......
  16. ive tought about it, but i didnt know the blades would keep enough kinetic energy to actualy land the heli safe on the ground! WOW!
  17. The effort that it took to not scream like a girl (no offense to sensitive-americans) must have been tremendous.

    Hats off to you, sir. Hope you've made enough to support the college fund.

    p.s. Yes. I wear at least three hats at all times.
  18. this guys a super tool
  19. hey man,,, i wanna to see a Crash..
  20. this is like "the neature walk" but cooler. 😁🤔
