In fact, powerful hydroelectric require laying high-voltage lines, the construction of masts, installation fittings, hinge wires. Helicopter builder can help. When the high-voltage lines will have to act, with the help of the helicopter can be carried out regular monitoring of their condition, a helicopter can be made even repair of these lines.

And to take the construction of high-rise buildings?

It is difficult to install a crane to apply loads to a height of 175-200 m. However, on a specially designed helicopter that work can be done.

Not long ago it seemed that hardly can find employment helicopter s North Pole, now we are witnessing a wide use of it to serve the needs of drifting research stations in the Arctic ice.

Here he writes Academician Dmitry Shcherbakov about his flight to the North Pole - "Now comes our way along the meridian connecting the pole to Wrangel Island. A few hours of the flight, - and we go down in the short distance from the camp on a flat ice floe station. We expect a helicopter. This wonderful airship took its course from Moscow 8000 kilometers airway. It takes just 10-12 people. The helicopter takes off vertically from the place, quietly looking up from the ice floe. After a few minutes we were at the station "North Pole."

Until recently, this story can be found only in some science fiction novel, and now bright red helicopter looming on the endless expanse of white, gives each of the drifting research stations.

That is not a complete list of areas where a helicopter can be used.

There is no doubt that the wider the helicopter will be implemented in our daily working life, the wider and grander prove its application.

"Where the eagle flies - in the narrow gorge - and the helicopter can fly" - so speaks about this remarkable flying machine one of the pioneers of Soviet helicopter flight Hero of the Soviet Union, Colonel Maslov.

"The helicopter - a large machine of the future. It will be the mass of Soviet aircraft machine our country "- so says a helicopter Soviet scientist, Academician BN Yuriev.

Briefed the helicopter, we see that it is peculiar to a number of advantages that are not available at the aircraft; chief among them is the ability to fly at low speeds, hang in the air, vertical take off and to land vertically. On the other hand, the plane has a huge advantage over the helicopter, the main of which is the ability to develop high speed flight.

Is it possible to create an aircraft that would combine the positive qualities of both an airplane and a helicopter?

It turns out that in principle it is possible.

And now, more and more often there are projects and individual samples of so-called convertible aircraft, or envelopes plans. Converted aircraft can be screw and reactive.

It is known that the main limitation of the maximum speed of the helicopter due to the presence of failure flow retreating blade, which have to work at too high angles of attack. By this fastest speed which can be achieved by a helicopter, is only 240 km / h.

Stalling could have been avoided if the main rotor could operate at lower angles of attack. However, in this case, the propeller would also create less lift, which would not be able to balance the weight of the helicopter. The lack of lift can be compensated for by giving the helicopter a small wing-type bearing surface, which, as the flight speed increases, would create an increasing share of the total lift of the entire vehicle, more and more unloading the rotor. Unloading the propeller allows you to reduce the angle of attack of the blades and thereby, avoiding stalling, to increase the flight speed.

Screw convertible aircraft of this type could reach a speed of about 400 km / h.

Even more interesting are convertible jet aircraft. Shown is the takeoff, flight and landing profile of such an aircraft. By increasing the thrust of jet engines, the pilot of such an aircraft makes a vertical takeoff. Then, with the help of rudders or turning the engines, the device goes into horizontal flight, in which the lift is created by the wings. Before landing, the pilot puts the aircraft back in a vertical position and, gradually reducing the thrust of the engines under the influence of gravity, makes a landing.

There is no doubt that after the development of the helicopter, even in parallel with them: will develop and converted aircraft.
