Question

How long would it take a regular helicopter to travel 230 miles? this is a 4 hour car drive for me?

Answer 1

About 2 hours +/- on the average

Answer 2

an adult helicopter would make it in less than two hours.

Adult i mean helicopters able to make 120 knots. of course depending on the good weather and mild wind. once you fight a 50 knots headwind, it is not comfortable nor fast way of travelling

btw do you mean statutary miles or nautical? i guess statutary, so the enroute time would be somewhere about one and half hour at zero wind

Answer 3

What is a REGULAR helicopter?  A Robinson R22 can only go about 70 MPH (tops).  A Blackhawk can travel at about 150 MPH (if I remember correctly).

Unlike public highway with SPEED LIMIT, there is no speed limit and the total time is dependent on the vehicle.

So unless you can define what is REGULAR, that is an impossible question to answer.

Good Luck.

P.S. But either way traveling by air is somewhat faster than traveling on the road because your go direct, not wandering around following the roads.

Answer 4

to be exact you have to know the speed of winds alof.. if a aircraft is doing 130 over the ground then that would be the speed  the time would be based on that

Answer 5

the average Cruise speed of a helicopter is 150mph

so the answer to your question is about a hour and 25 min

Answer 6

About 2 hrs. give or take 15 mins.
