About turning in helicopters?
Sorry for any errors.
If helicopters naturally turn counter clockwise because of centrifugal, and depressing the right foot pedal is how this is usually counteracted (not counting tandem rotor helicopters, which I believe don't have that kind of instability), does that mean that left turning is more a function of lifting on the right pedal than depressing the left pedal?
centrifugal force
Please be more specific.
Not all helicopter rotors turn counter-clockwise. French and Russian machines tend to turn clockwise. A function of how the transmission is built, rather than anything aerodynamic.
The pedals are rigged so that regardless of direction of rotor spin, if you push the left pedal, the nose of the aircraft will turn left. The pedals are connected, so technically, if you lift the left pedal, it will cause the right to go down, or forward, or however you want to put it. I've considered using a bike stirrup on one pedal so that my dad (an amputee) could fly with me, but haven't yet.
The primary method of turning while in hover is with the tail rotor via the pedals. While in flight, the cyclic is used in order to tilt the main rotor. If you were to push a pedal while in forward flight, all you would acheive is a slip or a skid.
