That photo of the Chinook being lifted is obviously a photo shop, I mean the rotor blades aren't even going round! ;)


Actually, when you see how bent the blades are, they sure are supporting a lot of weight!

Where the Blades are bent upwards- That is the 'Lift Cone, centrifugual Force towards Centre' , more lifted generated towards the Tip of the Blade... Less lift generated towards the Centre Rotor Head. :O I only know that because I have decided to do a PPL (H), Can't put enough time into at the Moment, coz of the Intense Jet Flying!:(
