The following table includes a list of helicopter models that are designed to carry underslung loads. [3] Cargo capacities provided reflect the airframe manufacturer's specifications; when put into practice the actual maximum load capacities may be less, depending on the rating of the cargo hook equipment.
The W.9 was first publicly demonstrated during an air display in Southampton on 22 June 1946. [3] It was displayed at the Seventh SBAC Airshow at Radlett in 1946 [4] The helicopter was destroyed in an accident in 1946 and the project was abandoned. Parts of the W.9 rotor hub were used in the W.14 Skeeter prototype.

Location of flight controls in a helicopter. Helicopter flight controls are used to achieve and maintain controlled aerodynamic helicopter flight. [1] Changes to the aircraft flight control system transmit mechanically to the rotor, producing aerodynamic effects on the rotor blades that make the helicopter move in a desired way.
He had developed a small helicopter model with coaxial rotors in July 1754 and demonstrated it to the Russian Academy of Sciences. [1] In 1859, the British Patent Office awarded the first helicopter patent to Henry Bright for his coaxial design. From this point, coaxial helicopters developed into fully operational machines as we know them today ...
