Frequently Asked Questions


How long can a helicopter stay in the air without moving around ?

Yes, it can hover in one place until the fuel runs out or the pilot gets exhausted which ever occurs first. It takes more work to hover than in any other mode of flight, unless of course, the aircraft is equipped with hover hold.
But trust me, you do not want a helicopter to hover over your house long ;-)
