- Nota Adicional1
- In steady forward flight, with no change in airspeed or vertical speed, the four forces of lift, thrust, drag, and weight must be in balance. Once the tip-path plane is tilted forward, the total lift-thrust force is also tilted forward. This resultant lift-thrust force can be resolved into two components-lift acting vertically upward and thrust acting horizontally in the direction of flight. In addition to lift and thrust, there is weight (the downward acting force) and drag (the force opposing the motion of an airfoil through the air).
- Nota Adicional2
- In or during forward flight, the tip-path plane is tilted forward, thus tilting the total lift-thrust force forward from the vertical. This resultant lift-thrust force can be resolved into two components—lift acting vertically upward and thrust acting horizontally in the direction of flight. In addition to lift and thrust, there is weight (the downward acting force) and drag (the rearward acting or retarding force of inertia and wind resistance.
- Contexto
- For a helicopter, the relative wind is the flow of air with respect to the rotor blades. If the rotor is stopped, wind blowing over the blades creates a relative wind. When the helicopter is hovering in a no-wind condition, relative wind is created by the motion of the rotor blades through the air. If the helicopter is hovering in a wind, the relative wind is a combination of the wind and the motion of the rotor blades through the air. When the helicopter is in forward flight, the relative wind is a combination of the rotation of the rotor blades and the forward speed of the helicopter.
- A FAT0 is an area over which a helicopter completes the approach manoeuvre to a hover or landing or commences movement into forward flight in the take-off manoeuvre.
- Helicopter external loads can also lead to longitudinal and lateral oscillations in a hover and in forward flight resulting in catastrophic collective bounce. Coupling effects from a slung load are a function of load pendulum stability, pendulum frequency, phase delay and pilot control reaction and are normally greatest in a lateral motion. Other factors may include aerodynamics of the load, length of load straps and cables, elasticity of the straps and cables, rotor wake, and spin rate of the load. An out-of-phase reaction by the pilot can result in sustained or uncontrollable oscillations resulting in loss of the load, overstress of the helicopter or loss of control

Figure 3-11. To transition into forward flight, some of the vertical thrust must be vectored horizontally. You initiate this by forward movement of the cyclic control.
