What happens to the helicopter when...
Hello all, I recently came up with an interesting situation in which I cannot predict the outcome. This is purely an item of interest, not an experiment I intend to try.
After flying my ultra-micro rc helicopter today, I thought of a strange scenario. The product is advertised as being able to fly anywhere, with regards to space limitations, like in the house or garage.
The scenario is this; a micro helicopter, hovering inside the the back of a van or box truck. If the truck is driving down the road at any given velocity, say 60 miles per hour, and smashes into a wall, what happens to the helicopter?
Does it crash into the windshield, or simply remain hovering in its restricted airspace?
This situation has me baffled, as it is a stiuation of zero airspeed, yet the airspace is traveling at speed. Like I stated, this is just an item of interest, please do not attempt to test this "at home".
