Q:
Why do helicopters sometimes fly at an angle?
A:
Helicopters fly at an angle so they can move in any direction and not just up. If they didn’t fly at an angle, the force provided by the rotors would only lift helicopters up. Flying at an angle makes helicopters move forward, backward and side to side.
