Frequently Asked Questions
On some helicopters there is a long, forward-angled protuberance mounted just above the front windshield and below the rotor. Can you tell me what this thing is?
It's a wire cutter. It's designed so that if you hit a wire or cable you cut the wire. It's a safety feature designed to provide some protection from wires or cables when flying at very low altitude. Of course, to be effective, you must hit the wire at exactly the right height
