when they're at altitude they're p. safe under power failure because of autorotation, helicopters are kinda like gliders that use rotational lift if they have altitude/speed bc they can angle the rotor blades and use the airflow spinning them to arrest the fall and find a spot to land smoothly

but if the tail rotor stops spinning you're dead right? how does it maintain rotational stability in that scenario?

it's takeoff and landing that are really dangerous, otherwise usually helicopter crashes are from weather (kobe's was weather afaik ) or dangerous flying and locations (police choppers, military, coastguard, skiiers on mountaintops and poo poo)

but if the engine shits out at like 75ft you're dead, ill never get on one lol

Palestinian Health Ministry says Israel used white phosphorous on a children's hospital.

White phosphorous.

On a children's hospital.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

After a cursory internet check on this, the story is being reported on various arab, non-western and russian media sources, but not the ~*-official sources -*~ that only tell the truth, yet.

Also there seems to be a Palestinian Ministry of Health and a Palestinian Ministry of Health of the Gaza Strip, which, according to wikipedia is hamas affiliated.

So the most charitable interpretation of this shockingly racist moderation by Koos Group is that Hamas-affiliated sources are automatically nonexistent (much like the people of Palestine, no doubt), while IDF-affiliated sources are real.

Yeah I don’t expect WW3, only things that could actually kick that off would be Russia invading a NATO country or China invading a US ally in SE Asia. We’re just gonna enter a phase of a lot of small not directly connected regional conflicts as US power continues to fade.

Yeah, pain is coming for much of the world. Accelerating climate collapse + regional conflicts + ring-wing populism.

if the tail rotor stops working then you cut the engine and autorotate (assuming you had sufficient altitude and airspeed)

“Context? For burning babies in their beds? This is just about evil acts done by evil people for evil reasons,” the NBCU tech employee said. “Moral clarity.”

if the airspeed is high enough the air flowing over the fuselage will keep the aircraft facing one direction and you can also still try to land without a tailrotor, and if high enough even with a main rotor that no longer has power

it's like a car coasting down a hill, the potential energy from gravity turning into kinetic energy externally powers the vehicle thru the drive shaft and keeps the tail rotor and the oil pumps and alternators and stuff that would normally be relying on internal combustion running
