📌 8 Fascinating Types of Helicopters: From Attack to Electric and Beyond: 1. Single Rotor Helicopter: A single-rotor helicopter has one main rotor for lift and thrust and a smaller tail rotor for counteracting torque. It is the most common design, known for simplicity and efficiency in most flight conditions. Examples include the Bell 206 and Robinson R44. 2. Tandem Rotor Helicopter: Tandem rotor helicopters have two main rotors mounted at opposite fuselage ends, rotating in opposite directions to counteract torque. This design allows for a higher payload capacity. Examples include the CH-47 Chinook. 3. Coaxial Helicopter: Coaxial helicopters have two main rotors mounted on the same axis but rotating in opposite directions. This eliminates the need for a tail rotor and improves stability, efficiency, and maneuverability. The Kamov Ka-52 is a well-known example. 4. Compound Helicopter: Compound helicopters combine rotor systems with other propulsion methods, such as fixed wings or auxiliary propellers, to improve speed and efficiency. Examples include the Sikorsky X2 and Eurocopter X3. 5. Tilt Rotor Helicopter: Tiltrotor aircraft can transition between vertical lift (like a helicopter) and forward flight (like an airplane) by tilting their rotors. They are faster and more versatile. The V-22 Osprey is a prominent example. 6. Intermeshing Rotor Helicopter: These helicopters have two rotors that intermesh at an angle, eliminating the need for a tail rotor and providing excellent lift. The Kaman K-MAX is a key example. 7. Electric Helicopter: Electric helicopters use electric motors powered by batteries, offering quieter operation and zero emissions. They are typically used for training or short-distance transport. 8. Military Attack Helicopter: Designed for combat, these helicopters are heavily armed with missiles, rockets, and guns. They excel in ground attack and support roles. The AH-64 Apache is a leading example. Follow us EngineersPost Website for more interesting topics. #foryouシ #fypシ゚ #automotive #mechanical #engineering #aircraft #helicopter #design #Amazing #usa

Everyone who has enjoyed the use of their programmable VCR, DVR, TIVO, and television remote controllers owes a thank you to Mr. Joseph N. Jackson. He is a living legend, an inventor, scientist, businessman, humanitarian and Co-founder of the Black Inventions Museum, Inc. To date, he continues to work on ideas that will enhance the lives of BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. Joseph Jackson is the fourth of eight children born to Ernest and Octavia Jackson in Harvey, “Jefferson Parish”, Louisiana. At the age of 17 he went to work as an oil field tool maintenance helper. He was accepted in the United States Army at the age of 18. He went to television repair school at night, and later owned and operated a Radio and Television Repair Shop part-time for 7 years in Fayetteville, North Carolina. His early efforts led to the precursor of the V-Chip, technology that is used in the television industry to block out violent and objectionable programs that could be seen by young children. Mr. Jackson is the creator of the Programmable Television Receiver Controllers and other innovative devices for the television industry. Joseph Jackson is the holder of at least 6 issued U.S. Patents in the area of telecommunications and Fertility Prediction Devices for females, as well as several copyrights, trademarks, and Pending Patents in the area or Aircraft security and Tracking Systems.

A 10-inch disappearing gun in its firing position. Disappearing guns are a type of coastal gun mounting, in which a gun is raised for firing, and lowered between shots. This hides it from view and prevents it from being hit by return fire. Popularised in the 1800s, weapon developments made them vulnerable to high-angle attacks. They were also completely useless against aircraft, so they fell out of favour in the 1910s. More coastal defenses: https://militaryhistoria.com/16-inch-coastal-gun-batteries

Airplane wings have green and red lights for a few reasons. The green light is typically located on the right wing and the red light on the left wing. These lights are used for navigation and identification. The green light is used to indicate the right side of the aircraft, and the red light indicates the left side. This helps other pilots and air traffic controllers identify the direction of the aircraft and its position in relation to other aircraft in the area. Additionally, the lights can be used as signals for takeoff and landing. During takeoff, the green light is turned on first and the red light is turned on last. During landing, the red light is turned on first and the green light is turned on last. This helps other pilots and air traffic controllers to know whether an aircraft is taking off or landing. It's also worth noting that these lights are also used for signaling to other aircrafts in certain situations. For example, if an aircraft experiences an emergency, it will turn on both its green and red lights to signal to other aircraft that it is in distress.
