Interesting physics

Doesn't answer the OP's question, but interesting physics nonetheless:

According NASA Langley researchers:

Helicopter height was 35 feet. The flight path angle was about 33 degrees and the combined forward and vertical speeds were about 48 feet per second or 33 miles per hour.
