The side of the banking depends on the direction of turn of the main rotor: Counterclockwise --> left banking. Clockwise --> right banking. | The side of the banking depends on the direction of turn of the main rotor: Counterclockwise --> left banking. Clockwise --> right banking. | ||
That's the reason why on modern helicopters like the EC135 the attitude indicator is even mounted with a bank on the panel. | That's the reason why on modern helicopters like the EC135 the attitude indicator is even mounted with a bank on the panel. | ||

'''Video: Demonstration of the Effect of Translational Lift (ETL)''' | |||
The following video demonstrates the ETL, or also called translational lift effect. The lift of the rotor will increase by passing a certain relative airspeed, usually about 20ktn. | |||
This will led to pitching up the nose while passing this airspeed. | |||
This effect is shown here by keeping the collective untouched. you can see how the helicopter behaves at different airspeeds. | |||
