Helicopters stay in the air using spinning blades that are used to generate an upwards push called "lift." With enough of it, a craft can overcome the force of gravity, which pulls the object down toward Earth. Aircraft such as heilcopters with spinning blades are called rotary wing, unlike traditional airplanes, which are fixed wing. This month, club members will learn more about aerodynamics by making Whirlybirds.
