Mar 10, 2017 at 21:20 comment added kevin @Simon hmmm, I used to think pulling it all the way up would imply max lift. The objective is to fly as fast as possible, which I think (correct me if I'm wrong!) is accomplished by demanding max lift from the blades, then pitch down just enough to convert lift into forward thrust without gaining or losing altitude.

Mar 10, 2017 at 21:11 comment added Simon Collextive all rhe way up does not equal max lift. Do you mean pulled all the way up or max aerodynamic lift?
Mar 10, 2017 at 21:05 comment added kevin @Simon collective up, max lift demanded from the blades.
Mar 10, 2017 at 20:52 comment added Simon What does max collective mean? Max permiites lower, lever fully up or something else?

Mar 9, 2017 at 19:29 comment added KorvinStarmast Are you trying to stay in a level turn at 70 degrees AOB? Are you familiar with the term "retreating blade stall" as it applies to helicopters.

Mar 9, 2017 at 17:02 comment added kevin Not a duplicate at all. This question asks about maneuvering a helicopter near Vne at an extreme bank angle.
Mar 9, 2017 at 16:49 comment added pcfreakxx Possible duplicate of Can a helicopter stall?
Mar 9, 2017 at 15:28 comment added Ron Beyer I doubt these are attempted anywhere Vne, but it is pretty cool to watch the Redbull Helicopter do things no other helicopter can do, including extreme bank (complete rolls).
