This is the 6th and last part of the series "Why can a helicopter fly at all?" If you want to read them in order, you can find the previous parts here: Part 1: Introduction Part 2: Bernoulli, pressures, lift in detail Part 3: Reaction principle and conservation of momentum Part 4: The vertical take-off Part 5: The tail rotor Part 6: [ ...]
space copter. A flight out of this world. Reality or Fiction? Get ready for a surprise! Perhaps in the not too distant future your children or grandchildren will be able to take advantage of the following offer from us as Mars tourists: Is it all just fiction and a nice dream? At least one thing will actually soon become reality: [...]

Many customers prefer to imagine a bright blue sky without even a cloud in the sky as the ideal sightseeing flight weather. I have to say that as a helicopter pilot I find it rather boring. Clouds have a certain fascination for me due to the shapes and play of light depending on the sunlight. They look even more interesting up close [...]
One fine day some time ago the phone rang. An agency was there. If the helicopter can be chartered and if you can film it, they have a project. Now I know that agencies for any film projects usually know relatively little about helicopters, what is actually feasible and possible and [...]
I thought for a while whether this topic was even suitable for a blog post. We primarily want to encourage customers to book a sightseeing flight. If we now talk about errors and defects here, it could rather counteract this goal. On the other hand, we want to be transparent to our customers and also want to convey knowledge about everything [...]
This is the fourth part. If you want to read them in order, here are the previous parts: Part 1: Introduction Part 2: Bernoulli, pressures, lift in detail Part 3: Reaction principle and conservation of momentum Part 4: Completely Airborne: The Vertical Takeoff Before an airplane can take off, it must reach a required minimum speed. Only then will the [...]
As a helicopter pilot, I am often asked during sightseeing flights whether I have to register somewhere when I start a helicopter sightseeing flight in Jesenwang? There is usually no monosyllabic answer to this question. Most passengers only know flying from vacation planes. This usually starts from larger airports such as Munich or Frankfurt and not [...]
This part is the third part. If you want to read them in order, you can find the previous parts here: Part 1: Introduction Part 2: Bernoulli, pressures, lift in detail Part 3: Reaction principle and conservation of momentum Although the camber of the wing is important, it is not the only effect. We also know from the English natural scientist Isaac [...]
I like to set up the radio in our helicopter during our sightseeing flights so that my passengers can listen to the radio over the headphones - for most of them it's an exciting experience. When else do you have the opportunity to experience these frequencies, which the normal kitchen radio can no longer receive, up close? Despite whiskey zero alcohol [...]
