They say it is common sense but here is a Clue:

A helicopter's blade (in cross-section) is shaped like an airplane’s wing, and both catch air giving lift..now answer this question....

This should be an easy quiz for those who have even a modicum of knowledge, about aircraft! However, the answer may surprise you . . .

The Question:


"What is the primary advantage of rotary winged aircraft, over fixed-winged aircraft?"

 

Airplanes fly and helicopters beat the air into submission?

 

VTOL
Less space required
And most people could learn to fly one (even me) as opposed to fixed wings.
High precision work like rescues etc etc



Yeah, that too
Nice !

 

For those of you who are impatient like me and used the question as a search string..........

Wiki answers says........

Choppers can hover over a position; fixed wing cannot (other than Harrier type jets). Choppers can land anywhere and take off from anyplace; fixed wing aircraft NEED a large airstrip

However, the answer that I best like is found here where you can see the advantages

What is the primary advantage of rotary-winged aircraft

Cheers, SB

 

I did that earlier, so clearly the answer is :

"Even people that can't afford underwear can afford a ride in a chopper"

 

It doesn't matter what the shape their blades are. They are so ugly that the earth repels them.
