Translating Tendency | Ground Effect | Coriolis Effect | Helicopter Hovering

When it comes to helicopter flight, hovering is a fundamental skill that every pilot must master. In this video, we will explore some key concepts related to hovering flight, including translating tendency or drift, ground effect, and the Coriolis effect. Translating tendency, also known as drift, refers to the natural tendency of a helicopter to drift in a particular direction during hovering flight. Ground effect is another crucial factor to consider during helicopter hovering flight. When a helicopter hovers close to the ground, it experiences an increase in lift and a decrease in induced drag. The Coriolis effect, based on the law of conservation of angular momentum, is another important concept in helicopter hovering flight.#aviation #aviationenthusiast #helicopter To learn more visit: https://www.aircraftsystemstech.com https://www.flight-study.com https://www.patreon.com/aeronauticsguide 0:00 Introduction 1:27 Torque 2:24 Translating tendency 3:26 Ground effect 4:58 Coriolis effect
