KarlvN Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) not denying the skill required and displayed, I have a little RC helicopter that constantly crashes in much less confined spaces in my kitchen, but asking about the physics. surely a tunnel/tubelike area like that would increase the ground affect? by pushing all the air down, you're compressing it below..which means more lift?... What Myles said... turbulent air rising back up disturbs the "perfect cushion of air" created by the rotors, causing much less lift. It is like a chopper trying to fly in a hurricane. No sane pilot would attempt to, really. [edit] Take the Argus of 2014, when the wind was gusting to about 100kph over Chappies, and the chopper pilot had to divert as it was too dangerous to fly., resulting in the video footage of the leaders being resumed at Suikerbossie. If a chopper pilot struggles to stay airborne in windy conditions over open space, experiencing much harsher winds in a confined space makes things very hairy, indeed.
