True or False
Helicopter rotor blades can exceed the speed of sound.
True! Even though the helicopter itself moves far below the speed of sound, the tip of the advancing rotor blades can, under certain flight conditions, reach and even exceed the speed of sound. This creates aerodynamic problems, known as compressibility effects, and is a major challenge for helicopter designers.
