* The fuselage is the main body of the helicopter and houses the cockpit, cabin, and other equipment.
* It is typically made of aluminum, composite materials, or titanium.
2. Rotor Blades
* Rotor blades are the lifting surfaces of the helicopter and are responsible for generating the lift that keeps the helicopter in the air.
* They are typically made of composite materials, such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, or a combination of materials.
3. Tail Boom
* The tail boom is the long, slender section that extends from the fuselage and supports the tail rotor.
* It is typically made of aluminum or composite materials.
4. Tail Rotor
* The tail rotor is a small rotor located at the end of the tail boom and is responsible for counteracting the torque produced by the main rotor.
* It is typically made of composite materials or aluminum.
5. Engine
* The engine provides the power to turn the main rotor and tail rotor.
* It is typically a turboshaft engine, which is a type of gas turbine engine that produces shaft power.
6. Landing Gear
* The landing gear is the system that supports the helicopter on the ground.
* It is typically made of aluminum or steel and consists of wheels, struts, and shock absorbers.
7. Flight Controls
* The flight controls are the systems that allow the pilot to control the helicopter's movement.
* They include the cyclic stick, collective stick, rudder pedals, and throttle.
* The cyclic stick controls the helicopter's pitch and roll, the collective stick controls the helicopter's altitude, the rudder pedals control the helicopter's yaw, and the throttle controls the helicopter's engine power.
8. Avionics
* Avionics are the electronic systems that are used to navigate, communicate, and monitor the helicopter.
* They include instruments, radios, GPS systems, and flight management systems.
9. Other Equipment
* Helicopters can also be equipped with a variety of other equipment, such as winches, hoists, cameras, and searchlights.
