Rotary Wing
A "Rotary Wing" refers to a type of aircraft that uses rotating blades or wings to generate lift and thrust. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, which have stationary wings, rotary wing aircraft, such as helicopters, can take off and land vertically, hover in place, and maneuver in tight spaces. This makes them particularly useful for various applications, including search and rescue, medical transport, and military operations.
The design of rotary wings allows for greater versatility in flight. The rotating blades create lift by changing their angle of attack, which can be adjusted in real-time. This capability enables rotary wing aircraft to operate in diverse environments, making them essential for tasks like aerial firefighting and news reporting.
