CONT

On a helicopter, things are radically different during lift-off and hover: there is no inertia and the slightest breeze against the cabin can cause a drift, spin and even induce a pendulum effect as soon as the skids have broken contact with the ground.

  • Constructions aéronautiques

L'inertie est nulle et la moindre brise latérale déporte l'appareil, le fait virer, et induit même un mouvement pendulaire dès que les patins ont quitté le sol.
