Helicopters have a speed limit that has nothing to do with laws.Well, unless you count the laws of physics.Hey it's me Destin.Welcome back to Smarter Every Day. The show where we do science. So todayI'm gonna explain to you something pretty interesting about the dissymmetry of rotor flight.But before we get too serious, let's just have a little fun.Check this out. Nighttime flying with Carl.( rotor noise ) Sick!( rotor noise ) ( excited shouts )( laughing )Right there.'kay we're going to do some light painting with a helicopter at night.( rotor noise )( music ) ( music ) Did you see that? Look real close. Go back to the image.If you look on one side you see this really tight radius of curvature.But on the other si...
