Chapter 1220 Helicopter Improvement

His eyes looked at Cialick. If Cialick said there was no solution, the helicopter would be sentenced to death and his ideal would be shattered.

"The solution is also very simple, just provide a reverse torque." Cialick said.

How to solve it? You will know from later generations that all single-rotor helicopters have a tail wing at the tail, and there is also a propeller rotating there.

What does that propeller do? Of course, it blows air flow to the side, just to offset the reverse torque. At the same time, control the output torque of the tail propeller, so that the helicopter can easily turn in hover.

Cialek was only responsible for providing ideas, and as soon as his ideas were spoken out, Flett immediately felt happy. Yes, this is the best solution to the problem of helicopters.

Moreover, in this way, the tail will not need to be so bloated anymore. It only requires a small tail wing and a suitable propeller!

In later generations, more than 90% of helicopters were arranged in this way. Only a small number of helicopters were twin-rotors. They could use two rotors that rotate in opposite directions that were installed coaxially, or a rotor with opposite directions that were rotors that were opposite to each other could be installed at the front and rear of the fuselage to offset the torque generated, so that there was no need to set a tail rotor that resisted torque.

But the rotor is always mainstream, and the solution proposed by Cialek made the designers suddenly realize that a new cross-age aircraft is about to step onto the stage of history!

Although German helicopters were developed during World War II, they did not have too many equipment troops and did not play a big role. After continuing to improve after the war, they began to show their superiority on the battlefield.

Now, under the promotion of Cialek, helicopters have also begun to develop rapidly.

"The navy's carrier-based helicopters are only a small part of the demands." Cialek continued to express his opinion: "In our army and air force, we need a large number of helicopters."

"For example, our mountain division equipped a certain amount of helicopters, which can help us overcome various mountain environments. It does not require a flat runway, and can land as long as there is a small piece of open space." Cialick said: "And such helicopters are better to be large and can even lift our various vehicles."

"We can also try to bring rocket-like weapons onto helicopters and transform them into armed helicopters for ground attacks. These can also be equipped in ground troops so that ground troops do not have to call for air support anymore, and they have strong fire support capabilities."

The development of helicopters takes a long time, but under the stimulation of war, the process will be greatly shortened. For example, Germany has begun to develop various precision-guided weapons, and wire-controlled anti-tank missiles are also in the sequence. Therefore, mounting rockets to helicopters, or even later-mounting anti-tank missiles, can be completed within a few years.
