Pomelo is very large citrus fruit of botanical name Citrus maxima. It is very sweet taste after ripening . Have you ever tried a honey pomelo ? This large citrus fruit can be found in the produce section from late fall to early spring. Here's more about this tasty unique citrus fruit.The fruit is used in many festive celebrations throughout Southeast Asia. After a Captain Shaddock of an East India Company ship introduced it to Barbados, the fruit was called "shaddock" in English. The fruit is also known as jabong in Hawaii and jambola in varieties of English spoken in South Asia. The etymology of the word "pomelo" is uncertain. It may be an alteration of "pompelmoes", in Tamil pomelo are called pampa limasu, which means "big citrus". The name was adopted by the Portuguese as pomposos limoes and then by the Dutch as pompelmoes. Typically, the fruit is pale green to yellow when ripe, with sweet white ( or, more rarely , pink or red) fle...
The English word helicopter is adapted from the French word helicopter, coined by Gustave Ponton d'Amecourt in 1861, which originates from the Greek helix, "helix, whirl, convolution" and pteron "wing". English language nicknames for helicopter include "chopper", "copter".
Helicopters were developed and built during the first half-century of flight, with the Focke-wulf Fw 61 being the first operational helicopter in 1936. Some helicopters reached limited production, but it was not until 1942 that a helicopter designed by Igor Sikorsky reached full-scale production, with 131 aircraft built. Though most earlier designs used more than one main rotor, it is the single main rotor with anti-torque tail rotor configuration that has become the most common helicopter configuration. Tandem rotor helicopters are also in widespread use due to their greater payload capacity. Coaxial helicopters , tiltrotor aircraft, and compund helicopters are all flying today. Quadcopter helicopters pioneered as early as 1907 in France, and other types of multicopter have been developed for specialized applications such as unmanned drones.
History:
The earliest references to vertical flight came from China. Since around 400 BCE, Chinese children have played with bamboo toys (or Chinese tops). This bamboo-copter is spun by rotating the rod attached to a rotor. The spinning makes the lift, and when released the toy flies away. The dopist book Baopuzi by Gio Hong (4th "Master who embraces simplicity") in the 4-century AD describes some of the ideas inherent in the rotary wing plane.
Designs similar to Chinese helicopter toys appeared in some Renaissance paintings and other works. In the 18th and early 19th centuries Western scientists developed flying machines based on Chinese toys.
It was not until the early 1480s, when the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci created a design for a machine, which could be described as "aerial screw", that any recorded advancement toward vertical flight. Was done. His notes suggested that he made smaller flying models, but there were no indications for any provision preventing the rotor from rotating the craft. As scientific knowledge grew and became more accepted, people continued the idea of vertical flight.
Experimental helicopter by Eriko Forlini, 1877
In July 1754, Russian Mikhail Lomonosov developed a small coaxial model after the Chinese top, but was powered by a wound-up spring device and displayed it at the Russian Academy of Sciences. It was operated by a spring, and was suggested as a method for lifting meteorological instruments. In 1783, Christian de Launy, and his mechanic, Bivevenu, used a coaxial version of the Chinese top in a model that contracepted turkey flight feathers as rotor blades and, in 1784, demonstrated it at the French Academy of Sciences did. Sir George Kelly, influenced by childhood fascination with the Chinese flying top, developed a model of feathers, similar to Lion and Bienvenu, but powered by rubber bands. By the turn of the century, he had progressed to using tin sheets for rotor blades and electricity for springs. His writings on his experiments and models will be influential on future aviation pioneers. Alphonse Penaud would later develop coaxial rotor model helicopter toys in 1870, powered by rubber bands. One of these toys, given as a gift by his father, will inspire the Wright brothers to pursue their dream of flying.
In 1861, the term "chopper" was coined by Gustave de Ponton d'Amécourt, a French inventor who demonstrated a small steam-powered model. While a new metal is celebrated as an innovative use of aluminum, the model never rose from the ground. D'Amcourt's linguistic contribution would ultimately live to describe the vertical flight he envisioned. Steam power was also popular with other inventors. In 1878 Italian Enrico Forlini's unmanned vehicle, powered by a steam engine, reached a height of 12 meters (39 ft), where it hovered for about 20 seconds after a vertical take-off. In the steam-powered design of Emmanuelle diode, counter-rotating rotors were driven through a hose from a boiler on the ground. In 1887, the inventor of Paris, Gustave Trève, built and flew a tethered electric model helicopter.
In July 1901, Hermann Gunswind's helicopter flew in Berlin-Schweinberg; It was probably the first heavy-to-air flight to carry humans. A film covering the incident was taken by Max Skladenski, but is lost.
In 1885, Thomas Edison was given US $ 1,000 (equivalent to $ 28,000) by James Gordon Bennett, Jr. for experimenting towards developing flight. Edison built a helicopter and used paper for the stock ticker to make guncuts, with which he attempted to run the internal combustion engine. The helicopter was damaged by the explosion and one of its workers was badly burned. Edison reported that it would take a motor at a ratio of three to four pounds per horsepower to succeed based on its experiments. JAN Bahý the, an Slovak inventor, adapted the internal combustion engine in 1901 to change its helicopter model to reach a height of 0.5 m (1.6 ft). On 5 May 1905, his helicopter reached 4 m (13 ft) in height and flew more than 1,500 m (4,900 ft). In 1908, Edison patented his own design for a helicopter powered by a gasoline engine with a kite attached to the mast by a cable to a rotor, but it never flew.

In the early 1920s, Argentine Raúl Patres-Pescara de Castelluccio demonstrated one of the first successful applications of cyclic pitch while working in Europe. Coaxial, womb-rotating, biplane rotors may be warned to cyclically increase and decrease the lift they produce. The rotor hub can also be tilted a few degrees forward, allowing the aircraft to move forward without a separate propeller to push or pull. Petrus-Pescara was also able to demonstrate the principle of autorotation. By January 1924, Pescara's helicopter No. 1 was tested, but was found to be weak and could not carry its weight. His 2F performed better and set a record. The British government did more research by Pescara, resulting in helicopter number 3, powered by a 250-horsepower (190 kW) radial engine that could fly for ten minutes.
On 14 April 1924, the Frenchman Apriltienne Oehmichen set the first helicopter world record recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), flying its quadrotropic helicopter 360 meters (1,180 ft). On 18 April 1924, Pescara flew 736 meters (2,415 ft) (about 0.80 kilometers or .5 mi) in 4 minutes and 11 seconds (about 13 km / h or 8 mph). Hua, beating Omichen's record. Maintaining a height of 1.8 m (6 ft). On 4 May, Oyimichen completed the first one kilometer (0.62 mi) close-circuit helicopter flight with his No. 2 machine in 7 minutes 40 seconds.
In the US, George de Bothzat built the Quadrotor helicopter de Bothzat helicopter for the United States Army Air Service, but the Army canceled the program in 1924, and the aircraft was scrapped.
Albert Gillis von Baumhauer, a Dutch aeronautical engineer, began studying rotorcraft design in 1923. On 24 September 1925, his first prototype "Udaan" ("hoot" and actually hover) with the Dutch Army-Air Arm captain Floris Albert van under control. The controls that van Heijst used were von Baumer's invention, cyclic and collective. Under patent number 265,272, on January 31, 1927, the British Ministry of Aviation was permitted to patent Bomhor for their cyclical and collective control.
In 1927, Engelbert Zaschka of Germany built a helicopter, equipped with two rotors, used a gyroscope to increase stability and act as an energy accumulator for gliding flights to landings. Was. Zaschka's aircraft, the first helicopter that ever worked so successfully in miniature, not only rises and descends steeply, but is able to remain stationary at any altitude.
In 1928, the Hungarian aviation engineer Oszak Asboth produced a helicopter prototype that flew and landed at least 182 times with a maximum single flight duration of 53 minutes.
In 1930, the Italian engineer Corradino D'Ascanio built his D'AT3, a coaxial helicopter. His relatively large machine had two, two-bladed, counter-rotating rotors. Control was achieved using supporting wings or servo-tabs on the trailing edges of the blades, a concept that was later adopted by other helicopter designers, including Blakeier and Kaman. Three small propellers mounted on the airframe were used for additional pitch, roll and yaw control. D'AT3 recorded modest FAI speeds and elevations for time, including elevation (18 m or 59 ft), duration (8 min 45 sec), and distance flow (1,078 m or 3,540 ft).
Single lift-rotor breakthrough
In the Soviet Union, Boris Ann. Yuriev and Alexey M. Cheramukhin, two aeronautical engineers working at the Tsentralni Aerogidrodiniemsky Institute (TsAGI or Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute), who built and flew the TsAGI 1-EA single-lift-rotor chopper, which used an open tubing framework, a four-bladed main. Lift rotor, and two sets of 1.8-meter (5.9-foot) diameter, two-blade anti-torque rotors: one set of two on the nose and two in the tail. A set. Powered by two M-2 powerplants, the GNOME Monosofap 9 Type B-2 100 CV Output Rotary Engine After World War I, the TsAGI 1-EA made several low-altitude flights. By 14 August 1932, Cheramukhin had managed to achieve 1-EA to an unofficial height of 605 m (1,985 ft), a former achievement of Descanios. As the Soviet Union was not yet a member of the FAI, however, Cheramukhin's record remained unfamiliar.
