Module 12. Helicopter aerodynamics, structures and systems

With an increase in forward velocity of a helicopter, the increase in parasitic drag will cause the fuselage attitude to

  • remain level.
  • pitch down.
  • pitch up.

Hello!
When helicopter increases in forward velocity, nose of the fuselage is lower than tail, because of that air flow tends to lower the helicopter down.
