Flying helicopters upside down
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When flying a helicopter upside down, you only drop slowly - as if only affected by gravity, not by both gravity and the force of the main rotor.

Additional Information

My hypothesis is that the force of the rotors on helicopters is only applied on the "z-axis" when the rotors face down. This is supported by the fact that lighter helicopters (the mh-6) drop slower than heavier helicopters (ka-60).
