These are 12 fun facts about aircraft, más known as helixópteros, that maybe I don't knowíso and I'm sure I'll call youán the attentionón. Ecocopter press photo.
One helixóptero It is an aircraft that stays in the air and moves in all directions thanks to the fact that it has rotor systems made up of a number of aerodynamic blades.ámicas that serve to move up, lower, hold the device in the air and move forward or backward.
Nextón, Gustavo Junovich, General Manager of Ecocopter Ecuador, Comment answers to several of these interesting questions aircraft.
- ¿The helicesópteros have black boxes? Normally the propellersópteros do not have black boxes since they are not required by the aviation authoritiesáUticas, However, They can have different intelligent monitoring systems. For instance, Ecocopter is the úonly company in the regionón that has the 100% of your standardized fleet with the IRIS security system (FDM) which is a programálysis of flight data that allows providing the management systemóoperational safety number.
- ¿Becauseé the helicalsóPteros generate noticeable noise that can be heard from the ground when they areán flying? Two components generate the propeller noiseóptero that can be heard from the ground, one is the turbine (motor) and those who máThe noise generators are the main rotor and tail rotor blades.. These cause noise by cutting the air at high rotation speeds.ón. The helicesópteros that the firm operates in Ecuador are one of the más silent in its categoryía, because it is very important for Ecocopter to reduce pollutionón sonorous within his políenvironmental care ethics.
- ¿Whaté distance and in whaté How long can propellers fly?ópteros continuously? It all depends on the amount of fuel you can load and its consumption.. To provide an example, the helicalsóEcocopter pteros can fly by 3 hours and a half continuously and distances of 600 kilómeters.
- ¿To whaté altitude the helicopters flyópteros? The helicesópteros fly at different heights, depending on your designsños, power and features. The helicesóEcocopter pteros have the ability to fly at 4000 meters high normally. It should be noted that the Ecocopter AIRBUS H-125 model has flown and landed on the summit of Mount Everest at an approximate height of 8800 meters above sea level.
- ¿Whaté materials used to be lightweight? To be lightweight, the materials used are aluminum., magnesium alloys, steel and composite materials such as carbon fibers, among others.
- ¿Whaté weight the propellers can carryópteros? Depending on the model, the helicalsópteros can load from the 200 kilos up to 10.000 kilos.
- ¿Cuáhow many passengers can carry on each flight? Existen helicósingle-person pteros, helical shaftópteros that can carry 60 people
- ¿Cuáit costs a helicóptero? Existen helicópteros from the 50 thousand up to 50 millions of dóhomes.
- ¿Whaté propellers use fuelópteros? ¿Cone witháhow many gallons your tank fills? The helicesóPteros equipped with turbines use a type of fuel called JET A1 or JP1., The capacity of Ecocopter's tanks is 140 gallons.
- ¿CuáHow many blades do the propellers have?ópteros? ¿Cuáhe is his functionón? Depending on the designñO, power and functionality of each propelleróptero can range from two blades to normally 6 O 7 palas. The rotor blades of a propelleróptero behave like little onesñThe wings that produce the vertical thrust that the aircraft needs to fly.
- ¿The helicesópteros have an ejection systemón? In case of anyún accident. Not in the ácivil area, However, It is known that some propellersómilitary attack boats if they have that system.
- ¿CuáThey are the usesáfrequent s that are given to the propellersópteros? Among the uses máfrequent s that are given to the propellersópteros son: passenger and cargo transportation, constructionón, búsearch and rescue in natural disasters and accidents, Fire fighting, military and surveillance use.
