What can happen to a helicopter during an earthquake?
natural disasters like earthquakes can occur without warning, causing panic and destruction to everything around us. The impact is not limited to buildings and infrastructure, as even mode of transportation such as cars and planes are not completely immune to its effects.
In the context of our focus on what can happen to a helicopter during an earthquake, the results can range from mild disruptions to intense damage, ultimately affecting the flying experience of its passengers and potentially its safety record.

–> Effects on a Helicopter’s Ground Handling
Helicopters are grounded or stationary and exposed to earthquakes, potentially experiencing several risks:
– Movement of the terrain: In extreme cases where the ground becomes unstable under the helicopter, it has the potential to shift horizontally or tilt towards one axis, making takeoff takeoff a significant gamble. Any attempt takeoff while the ground was still settling may result unpredictable movements.
– Soft or uneven landing: Shaking from earthquakes can have an effect on the solidity of the terrain, putting the weight distribution of any grounded aircrafts at its limits, affecting the comfort and security during landing (Figure 1 above).
Potential Damage within the Helicopter
Another critical consideration, in contrast to earthquakes while in in flight. Any damage induced during ground stoppage depends on several aspects:

The forces caused by these movements often create extreme pressures on sensitive parts such as frames, propellers, airframe and blades. A collision with building structures Figures** could 1 7.3 Figure , Figure could figure or it could go to another destination.**.
