I'm at a part 141 school right now. We spend a lot of class time talking about automation and whether the extreme cost of flight school is worth it in 2023. I may switch majors and study finance instead.
That's a great question. Many small helicopters are belt driven; some of the advantages include vibration isolation and simplified maintenance. On this aircraft, the belts you see near the main rotor blades comprise the secondary reduction.
forget flight training, pilots are about to be replaced.
Congratulations!
That’s a lot of people to control 1 unmanned (but remote controlled) helicopter.
That's how flight testing works 😉 (R&D ≠ finished product/service)

Why is the rotor belt driven?
