Forward flight on a helicopter is achieved by having the rotor disk

Yes, I know that. So?

And you *will not climb* in any fixed wing aircraft with the nose
pointed down.

I never said you would.

In a helo, this is typical behavior.

I never said it wasn't.

Sorry...was there a point to your post?


About as much point as your posts bandying about 'pointing a fixed-
wing's nose down to go faster'. You can go even faster, eventually, by
pointing the nose sraight up and killing throttle, too. So what? And in
what way does this have anything whatsoever to do with the thread on
instructing someone about helo flight?

Lowering the nose to gain airspeed in a fixed wing is generally
considered to be really poor flying skills, not to mention inviting
overspeed situations. Descents are supposed to be strictly controlled,
which is why you *reduce* power to accomplish them, and if you're lowering
the nose to counter a stall, that means a) it's too damn high to begin
with, and b) you don't know what the hell you're doing.

Enough of a point?
