better jobs for fixed winged or rotary winged aircraft?

Im thinking about going into the military and have been thinking of being a pilot. Would you rather fly fixed wing or rotary wing aircraft. After the military what would give me a better job with better pay

You have a better chance of becoming a helicopter pilot than a fixed wing pilot in the military, so that might help you decide. Also, pay is not the best or only criteria for choosing a profession. Lifestyle should be considered too. If you'd like to spend 150-200 nights per year away from home sleeping in a hotel / motel, then go fixed wing. That's basically the life of an airline pilot. Most helicopter jobs do not involve a lot of long-distance travel. Also, while fixed wing pilots can make more money at the high end of the spectrum (airline captain or corporate jet captain), on the average, most helicopter pilots are paid better than fixed wing pilots who fly in lesser capacities. For example, an EMS helicopter pilot makes more than most fixed-wing air ambulance pilots. On the other hand, there are more fixed-wing jobs available at any given time, but the growth of the helicopter industry is going to be greater than the growth of the fixed-wing industry over the next 20 years.

Range (Aircraft) $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The maximal total range is the distance an aircraft can fly between takeoff and landing, as limited by fuel capacity in powered aircraft, or crosscountry speed and environmental conditions in unpowered aircraft. Ferry range means the maximum range the aircraft can fly. This usually means maximum fuel load, optionally with extra fuel tanks and minimum equipment. It refers to transport of aircraft for use on remote location. Combat range is the maximum range the aircraft can fly when carrying ordnance. Combat radius is a related measure based on the maximum distance a warplane can travel from its base of operations, accomplish some objective, and return to its original airfield with minimal reserves. The fuel time limit for powered aircraft is fixed by the fuel load and rate of consumption. When all fuel is consumed, the engines stop and the aircraft will lose its propulsion. For unpowered aircraft, the maximum flight time is variable, limited by available daylight hours, weather conditions, and pilot endurance.

Elevator (Aircraft) $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Elevators are control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircrafts orientation by changing the pitch of the aircraft, and so also the angle of attack of the wing. In simplified terms, they make the aircraft noseup or nosedown. An increased wing angle of attack will cause a greater lift to be produced by the profile of the wing, and a slowing of the aircraft speed. A decrease in angle of attack will produce an increase in speed. The elevators may be the only pitch control surface present, or may be hinged to a fixed or adjustable surface called a tailplane or horizontal stabilizer. The rear wing to which elevators are attached have the opposite effect to a wing. They usually create a downward pressure which counters the unbalanced moment due to the airplanes center of gravity not being located exactly on the resulting centre of pressure, which in addition to the lift generated by the main wing includes the effects of drag and engine thrust. An elevator decreases or increases the downward force created by the rear wing.

History of the Aircraft Carrier $68.51 Aircraft carriers are warships that evolved from ballooncarrying wooden vessels into nuclear powered vessels carrying dozens of fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Since their introduction they have allowed naval forces to project air power great distances without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations. Balloon carriers were the first ships to deploy manned aircraft, used during the 19th and early 20th century, mainly for observation purposes. The advent of fixed wing aircraft in 1903 was followed in 1910 by the first flight from the deck of a US Navy cruiser. Seaplanes and seaplane tender support ships, such as HMS Engadine, followed. The development of flat top vessels produced the first large fleet ships. This evolution was well underway by the mid 1920s, resulting in ships such as the HMS Hermes, Hsh, and the Lexingtonclass aircraft carriers. World War II saw the first largescale use of aircraft carriers and induced further refinement of their design, leading to several variants. Escort aircraft carriers, such as USS Bogue, were built as a stopgap measure to provide air support for convoys and amphibious invasions Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 72 Publication Date: 2009/11/24 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.17 inches

Submarine Aircraft Carrier $87.62 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Submarine aircraft carriers are submarines equipped with fixed wing aircraft for observation or attack missions. These submarines saw their most extensive use during World War II, although their operational significance remained rather small. The most famous of them were the Japanese I400 class submarine and the French submarine Surcouf, although a few similar craft were built by other nations navies as well. Except for the I400 and AM classes, those submarine aircraft carriers which were actually built used their aircraft in a supporting role (usually for reconnaissance), unlike the typical surface aircraft carrier, which describes a ship whose main function is serving as a base for combat aircraft. However, both real concepts and many fictional submarine aircraft carriers were created with the same role. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Aircraft Flight Mechanics $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In aeronautics, aircraft flight mechanics is the study of the forces that act on an aircraft in flight, and the way the aircraft responds to those forces. Aircraft flight mechanics are relevant to gliders, helicopters and aeroplanes. An Aeroplane, is defined as: a powerdriven heavier than air aircraft, deriving its lift chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surface which remain fixed under given conditions of flight. In flight, an aircraft can be considered as being acted on by four forces: lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Thrust is the force generated by the engine and acts along the engines thrust vector. Lift acts perpendicular to the vector representing the aircrafts velocity relative to the atmosphere. Drag acts parallel to the aircrafts velocity vector, but in the opposite direction because drag resists motion through the air. Weight acts through the aircrafts centre of gravity, towards the centre of the Earth. In straight and level flight, lift is approximately equal to weight. In addition, if the aircraft is not accelerating, thrust is approximately equal to drag.

Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.8 $98.77 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Royal Aircraft Factory BE.8 was a British twoseat singleengined scout biplane of the First World War, designed by the Royal Aircraft Factory. Small numbers were used by the Royal Flying Corps over the Western Front in the first year of the war, with the type being used as a trainer until 1916. The BE.8 was the last of the Bleriot Experimental types to be designed with a rotary engine. A conventional 1910s biplane with a fixed tailskid landing gear. It also had a pair of skids mounted forward to prevent the aircraft nosing over on rough ground. Three prototypes were built at Farnborough with a single long cockpit for both crew members. The production aircraft had two separate cockpits and where built by subcontractors. An improved BE.8a in 1915 had new wings the wing warping replaced by ailerons and a revised tail unit.

How to get my Rotary and Fixed Wing Aircraft Licensing?

1) Have lots of money in savings or have lots of financing vailable.
2) Enroll in a flight school that offers both
3) Getting your fixed -wing ratings then adding the rotor wing certification is much cheaper than doing it the other way around. However, if your goal is really to be a helicopter pilot, the more rotor wing hours you have the better.

4) Don't f**k up. There are a lot of ways to do that, both in and out of the aircraft..
