The Science of Flight Episode 19, Helicopters and Vertical Flight Episode 19, Helicopters and Vertical Flight.

Streaming video - 2017

Helicopters are so unlike fixed-wing aircraft in appearance and operation that it's hard to believe they work on the same aerodynamics principles. Focus on their ingenious rotor blades, which are rotating wings. Explore the challenge of flying a chopper, and learn why it's safer to lose power at altitude in a helicopter than in an airplane.
