Typical student/instructor interaction in the States;
- Instructor: Hey Joe wanna know why, when we move the cyclic forward the rotor disk actually tilts right
- Student: Sure Tim, lay it on me.
- Instructor: Well when force is applied to a spinning object, the effect is felt 90° later in the direction of rotation. So if we didn't offset the linkage to compensate, when you move the cyclic forward, you'd end up going to the left.
- Student: Hmm,,...cool
Typical instructor/student interaction in the old world;
- Instructor: Mr. Smith, Its time for you to learn why when you move the cyclic forward, the rotor disk actually tilts left.
- Student: Yes Professor Bruno, I'm eager to learn
- Instructor: Mr. Smith, take this Theoretical Physics book home tonight and read chapters 4 and 8, also take this Applied Physics book and read chapters 7 and 18. Then, here is a 6 hour video lecture from Oxford's Physics department, I want you to watch. That should fully prepare you for the 7 hour block I have reserved for us to discuss the matter tomorrow.
- Student: Thank You Professor Bruno, I look forward to our meeting tomorrow, to discuss this riveting topic.
You guys really know how to pour on the overkill!
