Helivõimendid
Helivõimendid, also known as helicopter engines, are specialized power plants designed to propel and control helicopters. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft engines, helicopter engines must provide both the thrust for forward motion and the torque necessary to drive the main rotor system, which generates lift and maneuverability. These engines are typically turbocharged, turbo-supercharged, or turbo-compound designs to ensure reliable performance across a wide range of altitudes and temperatures.
Helivõimendid are commonly powered by piston engines or gas turbine engines (turboshafts). Piston engines, such as
The design of helivõimendid emphasizes durability and efficiency, as helicopters often operate in demanding environments, including
Maintenance and reliability are critical considerations in helicopter engine design. Due to the high operational stresses
