Towing With Helicopters
The Navy uses helicopters to tow mine sweeping gear, and I heard that at
least once helicopters were used to launch sailplanes for a contest. How do you calculate the tractive effort that a given helicopter could exert at a particular speed, density altitude, etc.? Thank you, Peter Wezeman anti-social Darwinist
