An airplane whose engine fails is a glider. A helicopter whose engine fails is a brick," years ago. Now that might be true to a certain extent, but apparently, Destin Sandlin from the YouTube channel thought that it's not entirely correct, and with the help of a helicopter pilot, he wanted to prove Tyson wrong.
Destin took a flight around Widgeon Lake in British Columbia with Bradley Friesen, the helicopter pilot, and discussed ifcould land safely when its engine was busted. Turns out, it could land with a physics trick called"autorotation" instead of falling down straight like a brick. Bradley Friesen made Destin meet Gerry Friesen, who happens to be his teacher with 16,000 hours of experience to show how a helicopter lands.
. As you might imagine, it's easier said than done; it takes different factors such as the pilot's techniques, the right amount of speed, and lots of practice., it"just becomes a feel thing" at some point to do an autorotation landing. Destin didn't exactly say that Neil deGrasse Tyson was all wrong, he was right in theory; a helicopter can crash like a brick when the engine fails if the pilot decides to do nothing, which was, apparently, unlikely in this case.
Talent there.
