I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a RUclips video before but in this case I had too. You’re my favorite person on RUclips Jacob, I just got my private helicopter pilot’s license and it would’ve been so much more difficult without you. I’m forever great-full my dude 🤙🏽 please don’t stop, your content is legendary
Super excited that your are back !!! Thanks for all your videos, I'm a helicopter instructor in Colombia and your videos had been a life saver for my classes.
I have no idea how to insert an emoji on a desktop machine, so I'll just write "Bucket Emoji" here instead! Love your videos, really informative, and you're excellent at breaking things down and explaining them.
that's a weird graph from my point of view (engineer). Are these from the pilot's flight manual? Used to seeing the airspeed in the x-axis and either torque required, power required or drag forces in the y-axis. it makes more sense since it is a linear function and it's all derived from the main drag forces: parasitic, inflow and profile
Probably a readability thing. Go and take a look at flight manual for, for example UH-60. There are multiple chart sets where you go through 2 or 3 charts to get final results and they are aligned so you can just trace in straight lines between each pair of charts so it can be read quickly and easily. There is also a diagram of how you should go through the set.
Correct. They are presented this way as any efficient way for pilots to do performance planning prior to flying. I outline these charts more in my Types of Drag video.
I’m a fixed wing guy. Currently waiting for WOCS. To me this translates to max endurance and you made it easy to transition the mindset. For fixed wing max endurance isn’t the same as max range airspeed. Would this hold true to helicopters?
This might just be a stupid A55 question on my behalf, but why not turn the graph the other way around from the start? I think it'd be easier to understand. Any reason it's more eloquent like that?! EDIT: I see I'm not the one asking myself that.
I think it comes down to the difference between engineers and pilots. As an engineer it’s usually plotted horizontally. But for a pilot it’s a lot easier to have the charts drawn vertically when trying to calculate torque, fuel flow, and airspeed. You can fit more charts per sheet of paper without having to compress them. As a pilot, vertically has a lot faster and easier use for performance planning before a flight.
🪣 I'm still trying to figure out what the advantage is to knowing bucket speed as opposed to just keeping track of your max endurance and recognizing that there's a range there. Put another way, all of the listed benefits also are true of Max endurance, so what is the unique benefit of knowing your bucket speed range?
Great question. Outside this range you’ll notice that power and drag increases rather quickly. Inside the “bucket” range theres relatively little change in power and drag. Using the bucket analogy just gives pilots a framework for keeping airspeed in this range. It could be the equivalent of saying Max Endurance plus or minus 10 knots for example. Although the bucket could stand 30 knots or as little as 3 knots depending on performance conditions.
This one feels intuitive. You feel it as you fly -- you need a lot of collective to get off the ground, a lot of collective to rip along at top speed, not so much to cruise casually. The bucket is practically charted on the collective itself.🪣

That’s great to hear. I’m glad it’s helped you so much!
Just leaving a comment for the algorithm. It's nice to have you back!
🪣- great explanation!

Your cup of coffee is on the Mr. Jacob. Continue please? I really learn a lot from your videos.
I've been watching you since IERW in 2020, now I'm watching you to get ready for PC... Thank you for all these bro. #GoGuns
I enjoy all your video's ! Thank you
🪣 really enjoyed the video! You have a way of explaining it that makes sense!
🪣 7:27
🪣 Thanks for sharing your experience.
Brooo my aero exam is tmw!! This is video is perfect!!
Great vid as always
🪣 excellent video! And blessings for you.

HES BACK!!!! Yesssss
Bucket. Old school. Thank you for the videos.
Love all the videos. You keep making them, I’ll keep watching them!
Thanks ❤
welcome back soldier
Very helpful dude thanks
Not sure if my bucket thing came through or not but it's a great video lesson. Thank you sir.
Thanks!
Vy is the best angle of climb or rate of climb?
I’m a fixed wing guy. Currently waiting for WOCS. To me this translates to max endurance and you made it easy to transition the mindset. For fixed wing max endurance isn’t the same as max range airspeed. Would this hold true to helicopters?
Correct. I outline this and more airspeeds in my Crucial Speeds video. If you’re curious about how fixed and rotary wing differ, check it out.
Welcome back Jacob!..
Sweet
🪣 Thank you, great video.
💯👍
🪣thanks for the video.
What's the VH ?
It’s the maximum speed for helicopters in straight and level flight with the maximum power applied. I outline it more in my Crucial Airspeeds video.
@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 I know the VNE
Bucket, Thanks mate!

Proceed Sir
(bucket emoji) Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!!
🚁 giving you a helicopter emoji because I couldn't find the bucket and of course a thumbs up👍
🪣thank you sir
No emojies on my PC but thanks for the video!!
No cons.
(_) Thanks for all your great content. One day, I will fly. (20 year construction HEO with a wicked helicopter crush)
to the end everytime.
🪣 Nice video

\_/ this should look like a bucket
🏀 swoosh
🪣 great video… us Happy Hawiian Hookers appreciate the videos!!!
It looks more like a Wok...
Not ready to kick the Bucket, yet!
He'll yeah BORTHER 🪣
🚁 - couldn't find the bucket emoji !!!
Bucket 🪣👍🇺🇸
🪣 Bucket is filling on my way to take my SIFT. Thanks!
🪣
I dunno how to do emoji's. Enjoyed the video, thanks!
Edit: \_/
Bucket emoji!
🪣 🤙🏼👌🏽

🏆... couldn't find the bucket. figure you'd like that better anyways :P
