How do helicopters hover?

In: Helicopters [Edit categories]

Answer:

A helicopter moves forwards by the rotors spinning, and being slightly tilted. So if the rotors are flat, it will hover. This is because the air being pushed by the rotors is going straight down, not onto another surface, thereby making it go forwards.
