Emergency Response Pilot
When there is a car crash on the highway, everyone slows down to gape at the wreckage. However,
few have ever seen a truly horrific, heavily gory accident in which a Medivac helicopter has come to
rush victims off to safety. Air–medical transport saves lives every day in a plethora of situations.
Being a part of the Hawaii Air Ambulance team allows one to be the best pilot they could be in a
field whose purpose is saving lives. To be an Emergency Response helicopter pilot requires an
extensive amount of skills, certifications and experience. One must have good concentration skills,
be calm, collected and focused. One must be analytical and have a high level of mechanical
aptitude. A ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The pilot of an EC135 helicopter is responsible for pre–flight planning, including the filing of flight
plans, completing a load manifest to calculate weight and balance, pre–flight and post–flight
inspection of aircraft, fueling the aircraft and pre– and post–flight debriefing. To fly an EC135 it is
preferred that one has Emergency Medical Service flight experience, Night Vision Goggle
experience, and EC135 specific experience. All Hawaii Air Ambulance pilots wear the same
company issued blue jumpsuits. If one meets the specifications and qualifications, saving lives being
an Emergency Response Pilot would be extremely rewarding.
Hawaii Air Ambulance has been providing the state of Hawaii with exquisite service for more than
30 years. Hawaii Air Ambulance is a branch of the larger company AMRG (Air Medical Resource
Group), which has daughter companies in seven areas/states. AMRG was started due to a drastic
need for quicker medical transportation in the four corner states, especially the Navajo Nation.
AMRG's mission statement reads, "AMRG's mission is to provide safe, compassionate and efficient
air medical transportation". Hawaii Air Ambulance serves the entire state of Hawaii with seven full–
time bases located in Honolulu, Kahului, Hilo, Lihue, Maui, Kamuela and Kona, to ensure the
fastest response time possible. In the past five years, due to new management, Hawaii Air

Descriptive Speech
I always knew I had a purpose. Seven simple words were written in straight, clean lines on the top
of M's stack of notecards. They were her introduction, an introduction to a speech that M had slaved
over because it needed to be perfect. One by one, she riffled through the cards in her deck, reading
and whispering the speech aloud. This was going to be, perhaps, the most important hour in M
Freeman's life. She had agonized over her speech during the entire ride to New York City. It was
rare for M to travel to the city, even though she lived only a few hours away. In truth, she never
really traveled anywhere. So when the limo had arrived to pick her up, in order not to freak out, M
had thrown herself into her preparations, as the empty countryside slowly grew into bridges, traffic
buildings, and crowded sidewalks. And now, sitting in a waiting room, M repeated those seven
simple words to herself and she was in full interview mode. Then she was up and they called out her
name "Morgan Freeman!Please go to room 212 for your interview". At that moment I knew I had to
go through with it there was no turning back now it was go time. So I walked into the room and
there was a gentleman standing there with his hand out ready for me to shake it so I shook it and

Leonardo Da Vinci Aerial Screw
Leonardo Da Vinci's Aerial Screw is said to be the predecessor of the modern day helicopter, which
came 450 years later. The idea was to build a machine that would compress air and allow it to fly,
like how most modern day helicopters function. Like many of Da Vinci's ideas, the Aerial Screw
was never physically built or tested by himself, but his sketches and notes explained exactly how it
was supposed to have worked. This machine was also called the Helical Air Screw, which originated
from the Greek word helix, which means spiral. "If this instrument made with a screw be well made
that is to say, made of linen of which the pores are stopped up with starch and be turned swiftly, the
said screw will make its spiral in the air and it will rise high," was how Da Vinci explained the aerial
screw should work. The device was over 15 feet long and made of reed, linen, and wires, with the
main wings being 2 meters long. The Aerial Screw was designed to be a man–powered machine, but
with the absence of engines and the weight of the device, there was no way men would be able to
produce enough energy to lift themselves against gravity. The ... Show more content on

At the age of 14, da Vinci moved to Florence where he began an apprenticeship with artist Andrea
del Verrocchio. Under the watchful eye of Verrocchio, da Vinci learned an array of technical skills
including sculpting, painting, drawing, leather arts, carpentry, and metalworking. At the age of 20,
da Vinci qualified as a master artist in Florence's Guild of Saint Luke. Verrocchio was so humbled
by the superior talent and skill of da Vinci that he retired and never picked up the paintbrush again.
Leonardo da Vinci would eventually be employed by the Sforza clan as an architecture and military
advisor as well as a painter and sculptor. Da Vinci used his inventive mind to conceptualize and
sketch machines that resemble a bicycle, tank, glider, and a

Case Analysis : Piasecki Helicopter
Piasecki Helicopter was a helicopter manufacturer from 1940 to 1960. Frank Piasecki founded the
company. Frank Piasecki built one of the first helicopters to ever fly in the United States. The
company change names many times during Helicopter production and in 1956, it was changed
toVertol (Vertical take–off and landing) Aircraft Corp. Boeing bought the company in 1960 and
renamed it to Boing Vertol. The US Army in conjunction with Boeing Corporation began a project
in the 1960's where they develop and advance helicopter prototype named, Boeing Vertol BV–347.
The project started as a CH–47A Chinook Helicopter Airframe. Boing started implementing various

It was a great designed but the gondola could not be retracted fast enough, in case of an accident, the
gondola would have hit the ground before the airframe crushing the pilot in the process. The Boeing
Vertol BV–347 Helicopter was a prototype that received a fly by wire system modification and
stronger Lycoming T55–L–11 engines. These combinations provided a max speed exceeding 180
knots. These improvements combined with this new technology helped achieve better flying
characteristics that helped develop some of the finest aircraft we now use in our fleet. Other
impressive modifications included extending the cabin 110 inches. This provided excellent weight
and balance distribution and less vibration compared to a regular CH–47. The aircraft received
retractable landing gear resulting in the airframe improving its aerodynamics providing a greater top
speed. A regular CH–47 has six main rotor blades. For this prototype, Boeing added two blades to
the mix and extended all 8 by 30 inches. It also extended the rear pylon upwards by 30 inches. Level
flight and hover were greatly improve, also vibration at the cockpit were reduced, and the pilot's
workload and overall stress were improved. Model 347 received a hydraulically actuated wing. This
wing could be actuated up to 90 degrees vertically for hover or fixed position for flight at higher
speeds. Depending on the aircraft speed and load, it had the ability to actuate

Section 1
Presentation
To encourage missions in dangerous situations, flying stages that are little, spry and can take of
vertically are of investment. A stage that satisfies these necessities is a UAV (Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle) as a multicopter joined with a great control framework. A multicopter is a rotorcraft that
has more than two rotors, in light of the fact that a rotorcraft with two rotors is called helicopter
(bicopter). Multicopters have altered cutting edges with a pitch that are not conceivable to control,
as it accomplishes for a helicopter (through the swashplate), to control the bearing of the rotor push.
Rather, the rate of the rotors are shifted to accomplish movement control of a multicopter. For a
tricopter, there is additionally a servo joined that can tilt one of the engines and by that accomplish a
change in movement. Multirotor air ships are regularly utilized within model and radio controlled
activities due to the straightforward development and control. Because of the amount of rotors, the
extent of them doesn't have to be substantial in examination with a helicopter that just has one rotor
to actuate enough drive to lift it up. Uavs are frequently utilized within spots where it is troublesome
for a man to work in, for example, perilous situations, soak landscape and so forth. It is likewise a
suitable and a modest apparatus for observation. A Polaroid mounted on a multicopter is an
exceptionally adaptable approach to study a region. Uavs can

Disadvantages Of Quadcopter
In the recent years, there has been an increasing interest in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
in scientific, civilian, and military applications. Quadcopter UAV is defined as a small vehicle with
four rotor–propeller sets distributed around its body citep{Salih}. It is one of the most popular
designs for UAV due to their ability in vertical take–off and landing (VTOL), simplicity in its
mechanical configuration and ease of maintenance. In addition, the use of four small propellers in
quadcopter reduces the danger posed by the propellers if it touches external object as compared with
one big propeller in helicopter or airplane citep{Nemati}. One of the quadcopter types that gains
growing attention is the racing or high speed quadcopters due to their wide range of applications in
surveillance, search, rescue, fire fighting, UAV based delivery, and other similar missions. For
efficient surveillance tasks, it is important that the quadcopter has a precise control on its attitude,
speed, and altitude citep{Elfeky}. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In order for the quadcopter to roll, it should make a difference between the right and left propeller
speeds. In similar manner, the quadcopter pitch can be controlled by changing the relative propellers
spinning speeds for the front and rear rotors citep{Bouabdallah}. For translational motion, the
quadcopter needs to roll for lateral motion and to pitch for forward/backward motion. This coupling
between the quadcopter states has undesired influence of changing the on board surveillance camera
viewing axis, so it will limit the quadcopter ability of doing some vision based

American's. However, for 60 elite American Army soldiers, Cambodia was a breeding ground for
North Vietnamese objectives throughout the region (Fluty, 2011). On one such occasion, members
of the small and secret MACV–SOG (Military Assistance Command Vietnam Studies and

He was 70 years old and is America's most decorated forgotten warrior.
The men of SOG stepped into enemy saturated terrain and just after dawn, already dripping wet
from due and humidity (Fluty, 2011). Left to their devices, the jungle was hot and oozing with what
American GI's came to call "the funk" (Bogguess, 1969). The next thing Col. Robert Howard, then a
Sargent First Class (SFC) can remember is feeling the cool rush of blood over his head and eyes
(Fluty, 2011). He was wounded horribly from an ensuing ambush that would instantly kill half the
men with him that morning (Feherty, 2010). The men who were still alive ascended into the jungle
to take cover and as Col. Howard came back to his senses, he could not see and his physical
mobility was all but gone (Fluty, 2011). The next thing he recalls is a deluging and powerful smell
of burning fuel and flesh. Col. Howard surmised that in his immobile and blind state that he too
would soon burn alive. Then his site returned, soon followed by dexterity in his limbs. It was at that
moment he retrieved a fragmentation grenade from his load carrier. The North Vietnamese soldier

standing over Howard when they both realized that he was still a member of the living (Fluty, 2011).

Are You Safer Without A Pilot?
Are You Safer Without a Pilot? System Safety Design in a UAV Construct The Gradual Move from
Manned to Unmanned Flight According to James Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing
Commercial Airlines, "A pilotless airliner is going to come; it's just a question of when. You'll see it
in freighters first, over water probably, landing very close to the shore." (Ross, 2011, p. 38) The
trend toward aircraft without pilots is not new. As technology has improved the number of crew
members and their responsibilities have steadily decreased. The Boeing B–29, the most
technologically advanced aircraft of the day, required five people to operate the aircraft; pilot, co–
pilot, flight engineer, navigator and radio operator. This does not include the four gunners and
bombardier required for combat operations. (Mann, 2009) Compare this with modern airliners that
carry a crew of one pilot and one copilot. The flight engineer, navigator, and to some degree the
radio operator, have been replaced by computers. Not only are there fewer crew members, their
workload has been steadily reduced. Navigation moved from dead reckoning and star sightings to
radio navigation (VOR/DME) to Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) to Global Positioning Satellite
(GPS). As recently as the 1960's, aircraft like Lockheed's C–5 Galaxy, were designed and built with
celestial navigation sextant ports (Clonts, 2006). Radio communication went from technology so
cumbersome it took a full time radio operator to

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
In this modern era, technology may have seem to be taking its limit off, be it in any kind of industry.
Where in aviation, the innovation keeps continuing to discover new ideas. World–wide no longer
discuss about The Wright Brothers, the main spotlight now has been given to Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle (best known for its acronym UAV). This is where the drones and robotics story comes
together in much more advance collaboration.
UAV is a type of aircraft designed for no–onboard pilot or passenger. It can be flown by a pilot at a
ground control station or can be flown autonomoously based on pre–programmed flight. The earliest
recorded use of an unmanned aerial vehicle for warfighting occurred on August 22, 1849, when the
Austrians attacked the Italian city of Venice with unmanned balloons loaded with explosives [1].
Later on, the invention is being innovated for many applications. In the 21st century, technology
reached a point of sophistication that the UAV is now being given a greatly expanded role in many
areas of aviation.
As for today, technology has become reachable to everyone. Materials, machines, software, systems,
tools and even ideas can be shared and spared. The access to technology lets new generations creates
better idea to apply in daily lives, easily. These ideas were then shaped for many purposes including
what is visible today. Entertainment, surveillance, military uses, as well as monitoring crops and

A radar altimeter uses a C band at 4.3 gigahertz. Radar altimeters are usually in uses when the
aircraft is flying at low altitudes (2,500 ft. and below). The difference between the two is one uses
frequencies and the other uses static air (Kirchhoff, 2011).
Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 crashed on February 25, 2009 due to a faulty radio altimeter and pilot
error. The radio altimeter started producing faults during the final segment of the flight when the
aircraft was roughly 2,000 feet above the ground. The captain's altimeter instantly changed from
1950 ft. to –8 ft. Because the pilots had auto throttles engaged and the aircraft believed it was
getting reading to touch down. Therefore, the auto throttles reduced power to retard mode. Retard
mode is where the auto throttles automatically reduce power to the engines in preparation to
touching down. The pilots noticed the auto throttles reduced power so the first officer manually
increased the throttles to maintain appropriate speed to finish the final approach. However, since the
first officer failed to hold the throttle lever in position the throttles automatically went back to idle
speed. The aircraft stayed at idle speed (100 seconds) until 490 feet above the ground, were the stick
shaker was activated indicating the aircraft was about to stall. When the stick shaker was activated
the auto throttles advanced to full throttle but

military. For instance, according to the article "The Rise of the Killer Drones", drones have provided
aerial surveillance over Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan (Hastings). This
shows that drones are more a beneficial factor than a threat to the military. UAVs has provided a
way for the military to collect information without placing a single boot on the ground. Military
drone surveillance has improved the amount of information received, as the military adjusts its
capabilities or unit. Yet, drones enhance the way our military leaders decide when to send troops to
enemy's line. The squad leader receives real–time data. Drones can easily slip over international
borders without being caught, and a human person is not at risk. For instance, Daniel Bruntesster
states in the article, "Drones: The Future Warfare?", "Drones will be part of the future of warfare as
their advantages can be exploited by political leaders. Yet, drones are only part of a wide array of
surveillance and military options." Initially, Bruntesster describes lingering over targets as
surveillance and a way to obtain information 24/7. The method of surveillance has helped us change
the way we track potential targets and improved our precision on strikes to reduce the number of
civilian casualties. According to the article "Michael Hastings: The Rise of the Killer Drones" states,
the concept of surveillance can be traced back to the Civil War where hot–air balloons gave both the
Union and Confederacy advantages by tracking troops movements and helping to direct artillery
fire. The fact that drones can view a target for hours or days in advance of a strike, and can identify
the terrorists better than a ground soldier or a conventional pilot, helps the military's decision–
making

crops with fertilizers and pesticides (Murison, M). Drones can be used to help farmers see damages
that they cannot see at eye level. Drone technology is also used to overlook water systems to insure
that there is no leakage. These types of drones have camera to help detect leakage of water pipes in

changed our lives socially, culturally, economically and environmentally. Drone has caused a
privacy concern amongst American citizens. Citizens fear that drones will collect data as they enjoy
their daily lives in the comfort of their home or even when their outdoors. This caused the

Factors Influencing Dynamic Control Of The Helicopter Pilots
The helicopter pilots, in general, are required to be skillful in operations on both improved and
unimproved surfaces. During normal or slope takeoffs and landings with some degree of bank angle
or side drift with one skid or wheel on the ground causes the helicopter to roll. When the rollover
happens, the lateral cyclic control response becomes more sluggish and less effective than for a
hovering helicopter. Consequently, if a roll rate is permitted to develop, a critical bank angle may be
reached where roll cannot be corrected, even with full lateral cyclic, and the helicopter will roll over
onto its side. As the roll rate increases, the angle at which recovery is still possible is significantly
reduced. The critical rollover angle is also reduced. So, the goal of this essay is to cover the factors
influencing dynamic control such as solo flight, cross wind, tail rotor thrust etc. and understand the
recognition of dynamic rollover, how to avoid it and steps required for recovery. In addition, the
effects of critical rollover angle on dynamic rollover and factors influencing dynamic rollover are
also discussed.
Introduction:
An increasing percentage of helicopter accidents are attributed to dynamic rollover, results in
destruction of helicopter and some serious injuries to the helicopter pilots and crew. The dynamic
rollover is a condition of power flight, where helicopter tends to roll laterally. When a helicopter is
lifting off the ground or it is hovering with one

Characteristics Of A Quadcopter
A quadcopter is four rotor helicopter or quadrotor, that is a multirotor helicopter that is lifted and
propelled by four rotors and the quadcopters are identified as rotorcraft and not to be confused with
the fixed–wing aircraft, because the lifting force of a quadcopter is provided by four rotors.
Quadcopters uses four fixed propellers out of which two rotors are rotating in clockwise direction
and the other two are rotating in anticlockwise direction. The quadcopter uses self sustaining
variation of the speed of individual rotor to achieve control. By changing the speed of every rotor
we can generate the amount of thrust, which is needed to propel the quadcopter laterally and
longitudinally. Which in turn will create the required amount of torque. The quadcopters are
different from the conventional helicopters in which the rotors usage can change the pitch of their
dynamics when the rotors go in the specified direction around the core of the rotor. Even though the
size of the quadcopters are small they are cheaper and able to withstand more hard wearing when
compared to the helicopters due to their mechanical directness. The small ... Show more content on

It is feasible to fix quadcopters with rotor guards which encloses the rotors, therefore reducing its
capacity for damage. When the size increases the propeller of quadcopters which is fixed is not
found efficient over the modern helicopters. We can increase the blade size which will increases the
momentum. Which means that change in blade speed will take longer time to respond which will
have an negative effect on the quadcopter control. The increasing of blade size efficiency takes less
energy to produce thrust but it will result in motion of large amount of air at low speed when
compared to motion of large amount of air at high speed so the increasing efficiency comes with the
sacrifice of

The FA–61 helicopter, designed by Heinrich Focke, first flew in June 1936, and was later used in
publicity stunts by the Nazis. The FL–282 helicopter, designed by Anton Flettner, became
operational with the German Navy, and over 1000 of them were produced. This helicopter utilized
twin intermeshing rotors, had a forward speed of 90 mph (145 km/h), and could operate at an
altitude of 13,000 ft (3,965 m) with a payload of 800 lb (360 kg). The first American helicopter was
the VS–300, designed by Igor Sikorsky of the Vought–Sikorsky Company. The VS–300 was the first
helicopter to use a tail rotor to counteract the torque produced by the main rotor, and it was this
innovation that solved the last major hurdle in making helicopters practical flying vehicles. This

The Basic Principle of Close Range Terrestrial Photogrammetry
The basic principle of close range (terrestrial) photogrammetry will be explained in this section.
"Photogrammetry is the art and science of deriving accurate metric and descriptive information from
analog and digital images" (Habib et al., 2006; Habib Ghanma Al–Ruzouq Kim a; Ayman Paper A.F.
Habib, K.I. Bang, M. Aldelgawy). Wolf, 1983 defined the photogrammetry as the art, science and
technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and environment through the
process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images and patterns of
electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena. It is obviously stated, in the definition, that
photogrammetry can be used 3D model of real objects for many areas of discipline such as
geological and geotechnical engineering, archeology, architecture, biomedical engineering, civil
engineering, and environmental science. Photogrammetry is non–intrusive, cost–effective, is ideal
for recording data of a complex nature, has high level of achievable accuracy, uses digital data
which results in total flexibility across a multitude of platforms, plus images may be catalog and
compared over time. The 3D data from imagery reconstructed through a photogrammetric
triangulation (bundle adjustment) technique using converging overlapping images from different
viewpoints around the area of interest.
Photogrammetry can be divided into two categories: aerial and close range (terrestrial)
photogrammetry. Aerial photogrammetry

properties. The goal of precision agriculture or drones is to more efficiently apply a farm's limited
resources to gain maximum yield (Nixon). They can also irrigate crops and analyze crops, deciding
which are healthy and which are not more effectively than farmers. My artifact conveys the function
of these drones by having depictions of them doing some of their jobs and it compares them to
traditional farming, showing higher efficiency. 2b.I used Adobe Photoshop to create my artifact.

Drones can collect data in a lot of different ways. They can use 3D mapping to analyze soil. They
can use this data to decide seed planting patterns, irrigation, and to monitor nitrogen levels. They
can also have hyperspectral, multispectral, or thermal sensors to identify which crops are more dry
or needs improvements. This data allows for the drone to decide which areas need more attention.
By scanning a crop using both visible and near–infrared light, drone–carried devices can identify
which plants reflect different amounts of green light and NIR light. This information can produce
multispectral images that track changes in plants and indicate their health. A speedy response can
save an entire orchard. Distance–measuring equipment–ultrasonic echoing and lasers such as those
used in the light–detection and ranging, or LiDAR, method–enables a drone to adjust altitude as the
topography and geography vary, and thus avoid collisions. All this data is used through various
cameras and imaging to make the drones effective at keeping crops healthy. With such a large
amount of data usage and storage comes a large amount of data security concerns. The FBI and
USDA believe that cyber attackers might target the farming industry by stealing farm–level data in
bulk (information about soil content, past crop yields, planting recommendations, etc.) or destroying
it in protest. They have also warned the attacker may encrypt collected data and hold it for ransom
(Zorz). If these do

Climbers Persuasive Speech
Imagine yourself getting ready to rescue a climber stuck on top of a mountain. There you are in the
helicopter reaching out to the distressed climber, but all of a sudden you fall down thousands and
thousands of feet to your death. You just risked your life to save someone who was not ready. People
putting their lives at stake for someone who was not ready is not acceptable.
The cost to rescue someone is unbelievable. According to Nick Heil " The B3 cost about $2 million
apiece and quite expensive to operate"(Van, line 54–56) This means that for every rescue they carry
out means more money they need to pay the bill but they also need to make a profit. Also, Robert
Siegel stated, "Is a part of the issue here that these rescue choppers give climbers a false– or at least,
a rather expensive–sense of security, and that makes them more willing to take risks." That

The Main Branches & the Many Uses of Aerial Photography
Watching Tony Stark controlling his Ironman suit to save the 13 passengers of the Air Force One
from facing imminent deaths by free–falling at 30, 000 feet was one of the highlights of the Ironman
3 movie.
The heart–stopping action scene, which captures the spectacular aerial view of Miami, left
audiences in awe because of how magnificent the city looks when viewed up in the air.
So, how do blockbuster movies (like the Ironman series) capture unique bird's–eye–view images of
various cities, skyscrapers and people from different angles?
With the use of aerial photography, cinematographers can capture unique and visually stunning
images that are unlike the ones they get from shooting at a ground level.
What is Aerial Photography?
Aerial photography is a method of capturing photographs that are taken from a high point or
elevated location. It captures different subjects from a completely new perspective, thereby
producing shots that are great and unique. Aerial photographs are taken from an aircraft such as
drones, balloons, helicopters, parachutes, satellites, kites, etc.
Why Use Aerial Photography?
Aerial photography can be a challenging yet rewarding experience because it can give you
spectacular and memorable aerial photos that are different from terrestrial photographs. Unlike
ground level photography, aerial photography enables you to view the whole area and observe
everything, rather than just a

The World War 2 Rotary Wing Aviation
At the close of World War 2 rotary–wing aviation began its transition into a so–called "renaissance"
period. New and exciting advancements were being made to give new aircraft greater stability and
range. After many demonstrations on exactly what an aircraft could do, the United States Army
decided to adopt rotary wing aircraft to fill a search and rescue (SAR) role initially. During the
Korean War, medical evacuations and search and rescue missions took up the majority of missions
for our pilots. However, we were very limited in what we could achieve. The technology was
primitive in using piston driven engines along with heavier parts than necessary. Seeing how useful
slow moving aircraft were to our forces, Army Aviation leaders began ... Show more content on

As the title suggested, the program goal was to stock a dedicated light–class, rotary–wing system
with a multipurpose battlefield role. The helicopter would be called upon to undertake various
missions including that of SAR, MEDEVAC, observation, transport, reconnaissance, escort, Close
Air Support (CAS) and direct attack. (p.1)
During the Korean War, our internal rotary–winged aviation assets were performing duties in a very
limited role. Although used extensively and often, the majority of missions that took place were
either lift oriented, medical evacuation and in some cases reconnaissance. The helicopter most suited
for this role at the time was the Bell H–13 Sioux. The H–13 saw its first flight on 8 December 1945,
and marked the first large–scale procurement of a helicopter by the United States Army, being
utilized from 1948 onwards. While great for its time, the H–13 was very limited in what it could
achieve. It was originally fitted with a piston driven engine. Eventually it would be upgraded to a
turbine engine; however the frame was still heavy and even the upgraded turbine engine didn't make
up for the lack of lift being generated by its measly two–bladed rotor system. To say it bluntly, it
was overweight and underpowered, and we wanted something better.
With Technical Specification 153 released, civilian companies immediately started building and
presenting concepts to secure the

A Brief Look at Igor Sikorsky
Igor Sikorsky widened the field of aviation throughout his life with inventions that caught the
interest of the world. In the early 1920's, after successfully building a four–engine biplane, Sikorsky
began his work on amphibian aircraft. The aircraft proved to be versatile with its ability to take off
and land on an airstrip or in the water. Sikorsky increased the size and maximum range of his
designs until producing the S–42 Flying Clipper. His line of amphibian planes became the precursor
to commercial transoceanic flight. He played an important role in both the introduction of
amphibian aircraft and its transition into commercial aviation. Sikorsky also contributed heavily to
the development of the helicopter and research of rotary flight design. His design concept that had
one main lifting rotor in combination with a smaller rotor to counteract torque is still used in modern
helicopters. The helicopters maneuverability and ability to lift off vertically allowed it to fly into and
out of terrain not fit for normal aircraft. He designed the R–4 which became widely produced and
utilized by the military mainly for delivery of supplies and search and rescue. The company he
began in New York, now called Sikorsky Aircraft, produced the S–70 Black Hawk helicopter in
response to the Army's need for a durable transport helicopter in 1972. Sikorsky Aircraft
manufactured over 900 aircraft for the Army by the end of 1989 and a family of helicopters spawned
from variations of the

What is autorotation?
Autorotation is a condition where the main rotor is allowed to spin faster than the engine driving it.
How is that achieved? It is actually quite simple.
All helicopters are fitted with a free wheeling unit between the engine and the main rotor, usually in
the transmission. This free wheeling unit can come in different forms but one of the most popular is
the sprag clutch. The free wheeling unit will allow the engine to drive the rotors but not allow the
rotors to turn the engine. When the engine/s fail the main rotor will still have a considerable amount
of inertia and will still want to turn under its own force and through the aerodynamic force of the air
through which it is flying. The free wheeling unit is designed in such a way to allow the main rotor
to now rotate of its own free will regardless of engine speed. This principle is the same reason that if
you are in your car and you push your clutch in, or put it into neutral while the car is still moving,
the car will coast along under it's own force. This occurs regardless of what you do to the accelerator
pedal.
Controlled Descent ? The next question you are probably asking yourself is: "Does the pilot retain
control of the helicopter?" The answer is yes. The pilot will still have complete control of his
descent and his flight controls. The majority of helicopters are

How Helicopter Track And Balance
Helicopters have the unique ability to take off, hover, and land anywhere, unlike traditional planes.
Along with providing lift, helicopter main rotors are the source of destructive vibrations that can
severely damage the aircraft, if not dealt with properly. Helicopter track and balance, or rotor
smoothing is a maintenance procedure done to minimize airframe vibrations that consequently cause
cracks, crew fatigue, and premature component failure. Track and balance is both time consuming
and expensive, so improvements to the process have been what many technicians and companies
want. It is often joked about the A helicopter is a million parts rapidly rotating around an oil leak,
waiting for metal fatigue to set in. Track and balance, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The data was reliable and repeatable with unskilled users, which lead to a better and more accurate
adjustment. Track and balance using vibration sensors is the method we use today. Accelerometers
mounted in fixed positions, vertically and laterally. The accelerometers measure in units of inches
per second (IPS). Soon many realized that the track or the height of the blades relative to each other
is not the important thing. If a blade wanted to fly six inches higher than the leading one, this was
fine as long as the IPS reduced to an acceptable level. This is where the term rotor smoothing comes
from. No one cares about the height of the track, it is really only looked at to identify a bad blade.
What matters is how smooth the aircraft fly's. Even though track and balance using vibration sensors
is the method we use today, there are many manufactures of this test equipment. A few are; GE
Aviation Vibration Analyzer (AVA), Chadwick Vibrex, Helitune RT–5JS, and many others. Since
there are many different systems throughout the Army, this resulted in many issues. Some of the
issues were gaps in training. If your previous unit only used Helitune's and your new unit uses AVA's
you had to learn a whole new system, and effectively started over in your basic mission
qualifications (BMQ). The biggest issue of all is getting replacement parts or broken equipment

The Helicopter Flight Controls Of Fly By Wire System
ABSTRACT
Helicopter is known for being extremely challenging to fly. The helicopter flight controls enables
the pilot to attain a controlled flight. The flight controls differ drastically when compared to the
fixed wing aircraft. The advancement in flight controls namely fly–by–wire system has resulted in
reducing the complexity of the system. The state of the art fly–by–wire system has resulted in
increasing the performance and at the same time reduces the workload of a pilot. The four main
controls include – collective pitch control, cyclic pitch control, throttle control and anti–torque
pedals. The employment of fly–by–wire has thus paved way for reduction in weight whilst
providing more space for comfort and effortless handling. The commercial helicopter are beginning
to utilize the fly–by–wire technology after being tried and tested by fixed wing aircraft and military
helicopter. The goal of this technical essay is to provide an overview of the evolution helicopter
flight controls from the earlier complex analog phase to the present simplified digital phase.
Introduction
In the early 1920s, designing the rotors to attain an efficient flight was the utmost priority. The next
decade was followed by, perfection of control systems and its mechanism for a real world flight
capability. The flight control system is an element of the aircraft control loop which is essential for
the pilot. When evaluating the aspects of an ideal helicopter the first facet to be considered is

Up unitl WWI, there was no radio communication between the ground and the pilot in the air. Most
communication was done by hand signals, flags, or lights. In order for the military to control their
fleets, there had to be some form of better communication. The first air to ground and ground to air
communication was accomplished in 1917. Although the transmission was only achieved within a
distance of two miles, two–way communication between aircraft in flight was also achieved. Soon
after, aside from a military standpoint, it was realized that the radio could be used as way to aid in
the navigation aircraft for those who were piloting in poor visibility. The Department of Commerce
would soon have radio beacons and marker beacons constructed across the country to aid those
pilots who were flying in unfavorable weather. Had the radio not been invented and implemented
into aircrafts, communication between the air and ground would not have been possible, to a further
and more productive extant. With out it, intelligence reports, malfunctions, and flight route
information could not be relayed between the

The Theology Of Interruptions
The Theology of Interruptions
My life seems to consist of an unending series of interruptions that keep me from doing the job I
originally thought was the priority for that day. At first, this was a constant irritation until I read a
quote from a well– known Roman Catholic author, Henri Nouwen. He said, "My whole life I have
been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted. Then as I neared the end of my life I
discovered that the interruptions were my work." (Reaching Out, 1986) Jesus lived with the highest
and clearest sense of direction; yet, if we look more closely, His life was a continuous series of
diversions, delays, and off– the–cuff plans. He paid attention to interruptions as he directed his life
toward one overarching purpose and that was to get to Jerusalem and die. He noticed everything and
everyone with an inner ear to the whispers of the Holy Spirit and the desires of His Heavenly Father.
In the words of Mark Buchanan, "What's more, He invited others to go and do likewise." Purposeful
people have an ironic secret: "they manage time less and pay attention more." (The Rest of God

The oil industry is an expanding enterprise that is constantly building new refineries and pipelines to
transport oil and gas to where it needs to be. There are also older pipelines and refining centers that
could possibly need rehabilitation; Drones can help in both these situations. For the newly built
pipeline and refineries, drones can be used to make sure everything is in place and built to code to
prevent from injury. In the case of worn out pipeline, drones can be used to inspect the pipeline
using thermal imaging to spot any leaks, and a x–ray to look at the integrity of the pipe. By using
these methods it would eliminate the need for crews to hand inspect the pipes, and instead just fix
what the drone finds. Another industry that is benefiting from drones that are already helping to

Aircraft Systems support air assaults by providing continuous helicopter landing zone "soaks" prior

Although multirotors on a small scale offer the advantages of having fixed pitch rotors and simpler
linkages for rotor actuation, a helicopter with a single rotor will actually have a smaller footprint
(Hoffman, 2007; Beckett, 2014). This makes it easier to navigate into difficult landing zones. Small
multirotors also generally have a separate motor for each rotor, which would make the larger–scale
multirotor excessively heavy and more complex (Beckett, 2014). Many remote health clinics do not
have the infrastructure to isolate the landing zone, nor do some of the local inhabitants know to keep
off the landing zone; thus, a small footprint is highly desirable.
Propulsion: Gasoline or Electric? The two most common methods of powering unmanned aerial
vehicles is via gasoline engine or electric motor. Gasoline engines provide more power (and thus
more payload capability) and might have a longer endurance; however, the vehicles are generally
bigger, require frequent maintenance, and a source of petroleum. Electric motor systems, by
comparison, are quiet, but have more limited power and endurance.
Refuel–Recharge capability: Ground or In–flight. The medical delivery UAV should have a mission
radius which requires no recharge or refuel. If necessary, though, the vehicle ought to be able to be
easily refueled or recharged. A hybrid vehicle would be able to either plug in upon landing, if
electricity were available, or to be refueled if

Primary Heating Water Circuit At The Generators
Primary Cooling Water Circuit In The Generators :
The treated water used for cooling of the stator winding, phase connectors and bushings is
designated as primary water in order to distinguish it from the secondary coolant (raw water,
condensator etc.). The primary water is circulated in a closed circuit and dissipates the absorbed heat
to the secondary cooling in the primary water cooler. The pump is supplied with in primary water
cooler. The pump is supplied with in the primary water tank and delivers the water to the generator
via the following flow paths:
Flow path I :
Flow path I cools the stator winding. This flow path passes through water manifold on the exciter
end of the generator and from there to the stator bars via insulated bar is connected to the manifold
by a separate hose. Inside the bars the cooling water flows through hollow strands. At the turbine
end, the water is passed through the similar hoses to another water manifold and then return to the
primary water tank. Since a single pass water flow through the stator is used, only a minimum
temperature rise is obtained for both the coolant and the bars. Relatively movements due to the
different thermal expansions between the top and the bottom bars are thus minimized.
Flow Path II :
