He also once stated something along the lines of "When a plane's engine stops it just glides, when a helicopter's engine stops it's just an expensive brick "  Which is fine, other than the fact that helicopters can glide just fine and landing with engine failure is potentially much safer.

okay but by what mechanism do you control it at that point

I'm pretty sure that giant joystick is a way to adjust the position of the rotors, so you can probably finagle it into a glide... a really fast glide, but a glide.

Like, if you slow down, you are a brick. Edit: for helicopters, see "autorotation" the blades don't just stop spinning with engine failure, they have momentum and stuff and the air flowing over them makes them turn too (like you can blow on a fan to make its blades turn).

Aleph Null posted:Don't big-rear end planes have to be going a certain speed for lift to overcome their massive weight? Like, if you slow down, you are a brick. The words you are looking for are "stall speed". Helos and autorotation are a thing, but you are not going to move forward much at all, you are just going to go into the ground at a slower speed than if you just dropped. With fixed wing aircraft, you have what's called the glide ratio, which is a number of feet the aircraft can move forward before dropping a foot in altitude (while at it's optimal glide speed). If you can maintain your optimal glide speed, you may be able to do things like fly 45 miles and save the lives of yourself, your crew, and your 69 (nice) passengers ooooor, you could flameout both your engines due to unforseen icing, and dead-stick your way all the way to NOLA from way out over the Atlantic, all at 29 years of age and posessing only one eye.

Or were you talking about the effect of just the blades spinning on their own, before the pilot adjusts the pitch to gain more lift.

His overt confidence is charming when he's talking about his specific discipline, but any time he steps outside those areas of expertise he starts to sound condescending real fast.

Or were you talking about the effect of just the blades spinning on their own, before the pilot adjusts the pitch to gain more lift. You set the blade pitch to keep the rpm high while you fall (reduced lift). Then you can slam the pitch the other way (high lift) at the right time for one last solid pump of the brakes. The momentum of the whole drivetrain gives the energy for one good shot at slowing way down. Like when someone flares a parachute right before they hit the ground. Odds are your tail rotor quit too, so your forward speed needs to be high enough to prevent you from spinning. It can be done but it's tricky.
