  • Resumen

  • In this episode of FAA Decoded, we take to the skies with a deep dive into the world of helicopters! From their humble beginnings to today’s turbine-powered marvels, we trace the history of these incredible machines and explore what makes them so unique. Discover how helicopters excel at vertical takeoff, hovering, and tight maneuvers, powering missions like search and rescue, construction, and more.

    We break down the key components — rotor systems (think tandem and coaxial designs), antitorque mechanisms, and more — and explain the four primary flight controls: cyclic, collective, antitorque pedals, and throttle. Learn how pilots use them to master hovering, forward flight, and everything in between, all while making constant adjustments to keep these birds stable. Whether you're an aviation buff or aspiring rotorhead, this episode covers the essentials of helicopter history, uses, components, and flight theory in a way that’s easy to grasp and exciting to explore.
