Simplifying the cockpit means adding safety to flight in general aviation. The functionality of the collective, cyclic, and pedals in a helicopter is accomplished seamlessly with our single control stick.

Ever wonder how pilots control the speed of their propellers during flight? Enter the constant speed propeller! 🔄 Unlike fixed-pitch propellers, these marvels of aviation technology allow pilots to adjust the pitch of the propeller blades to maintain a constant speed, maximizing aircraft performance and efficiency. 💨✈️ #AviationTech #ConstantSpeedPropellers #FlightFacts #avelflightschool #chennaiflightschool

💡 Aviation Word of The Day - GLIDE SLOPE: 🔹The descent path that an aircraft follows on approach to landing 🔹It is part of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) guiding pilots for safe landings 🔹Ensures the aircraft descends at the correct angle towards the runway

Understanding Aircraft Stalls: What Happens in the Skies? In this video, we explore the phenomenon of aircraft stalls. Discover why stalling occurs, what happens to lift, and how air disruption affects flight. Perfect for aviation enthusiasts and pilots alike! #AircraftStalls #AviationEducation #FlightSafety #PilotTraining #UnderstandingLift #AeroDynamics #FlyingBasics #AirplaneScience #AviationCommunity #PilotKnowledge

We’ve added a zero to the 3 mins for this webinar, it normally takes to plan the flight plan in Pro. so we can answer the questions

Pilots of linked in, I need your knowledge and experience to help me understand one concept that has been occupying some space in my head since hyper fixating on videos of aerobatic flights recently. First of all, is it logical for me to view 0 AoA (for example in a free fall) to 0 load factor ( in a 90 degree bank) and say that in either cases you cannot stall the plane because obviously we are nowhere near the critical AoA AND the fact that we need to be going at 0 knots to stall in 0 G. That’s one… Two…. Okay at 90 degrees bank we can agree that the load factor is 0 BUT if we consider just theoretically speaking, if we consider 89.9 this would give us a load factor of approximately 573 G…that is the value of G force that we need to pull to maintain level flight in a coordinated turn correct? So how is that possible in air shows? Does it closely relate to the redirection of the thrust vector? What am I missing ? Thank you! #aviation #aerobatics

🚁 Helicopter Highlights The horizontal stabilizer is a crucial component that helps keep many helicopters balanced and level during flight, especially at higher speeds. By providing stability and control, it ensures a smoother, safer ride for both crew and passengers. However, it's important to note that not all helicopters have a horizontal stabilizer. Different models may use various design features to maintain stability during flight. Stay tuned for more helicopter insights! #Helicopterhighlights #didyouknow #AirAmbulancesUK

💡 Aviation Word of The Day - Vx: 🔹Vx is the best angle-of-climb speed 🔹It is the airspeed at which an airplane gains the greatest amount of altitude in a given distance 🔹Essential for pilots to understand and use when terrain or obstacles require a steep ascent

#eVTOL aircraft certification with the FAA and EASA isn't easy for manufacturers, and it shouldn't be when safety is so important. Here's a FutureFlight explainer that gets into the details: https://lnkd.in/esDMCZVx #aviation #technology
