How Does a Helicopter Fly?
Tsafrir Jeff Aviezer, the former president of EA Builders, has spent more than 20 years working in the contracting and construction industry. Over the course of his career, he has overseen public works, custom homes, and acoustical renovation projects. In addition to his construction industry work, Tsafrir Jeff Aviezer holds a commercial helicopter pilot license.
Although helicopters look very different from airplanes, the science behind keeping them in the air is the same. The rotating blades of a helicopter generate lift, the force that pushes aircraft upward and keeps them airborne.
On a plane, lift is created as air moves around the wings as the plane goes forward at a high speed. Since helicopters have rotating blades, they do not need forward motion to create lift and remain airborne. The rotating blades give helicopters the ability to hover in the air, which is impossible for planes.
Helicopters can also move upward and downward depending on the position of the rotor. The tail rotor plays a role in improving maneuverability, producing sideward thrust to help the helicopter turn smoothly.

Essential Gear for Long Mountain Bike Rides
Over the course of his 28-year career in the construction industry, Tsafrir Jeff Aviezer has held positions related to management, real estate development, and estimating. Most recently, Mr. Aviezer was employed at Metro CCM, a developer of custom homes in the Conejo and San Fernando valleys in Southern California. Aside from his professional responsibilities, Tsafrir Jeff Aviezer enjoys mountain biking.
When mountain biking on wilderness trails, it is important for riders to be prepared for unexpected emergencies. In addition to carrying snacks, water, identification, and some money, bikers should make sure to pack basic tools and a few replacement parts:
- Replacement parts that are helpful to have on hand include two spare tubes to replace blown out tubes, a patch kit, derailleur, master link, and a half-dozen spare spokes.
- The most useful tools for a mountain biker include a CO2 inflator or pump and tire levers for flats, and a multi tool. Multi tools are like a pocket knife, and some are specifically designed for mountain biking. The small, compact tool should include Allen keys and screwdrivers as well as a torx 25, the correct spoke wrench, and a chain tool. These tools will enable bikers to make just about any repair on the trail.
- Other helpful items to pack include lip balm, sunscreen, a phone with a tracking beacon, rain jacket, zip ties, and a first aid kit.
Being prepared for a ride can help every mountain biker avoid potentially dangerous as well as frustrating situations.
