October 28, 2008 Helicopters featuring coaxial rotor designs are not exactly new. The co-axial design of a pair of rotors mounted on the same mast and with the same axis of rotation, but turning ...

Crafted entirely from junked aircraft and auto parts, the Frankencopter 4 merges aviation engineering and nostalgic design.

Once the hydrogen peroxide motors spin the rotor up to approximately 750 RPM, the pilot simply pulls on a collective lever, similar to a normal helicopter, to climb to the desired altitude.

FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- Before turbine engines took over the world of rotor-wing Aviation, a proof-of-concept system revolutionized helicopter flight with a radical new rotor design. The Lockheed CL ...

Picture a helicopter, and you’ll imagine a craft with two rotors: a big horizontal one that provides lift and thrust, and a smaller vertical rotor at the tail. It needs that back propeller, of ...

Bell's New Design Could Make Helicopters Quieter—and Safer The new aircraft, which ditches the noisy tail rotor for four fans, may also be a step toward electric-powered flight.
