So this may be a bit of a troll science but immagine the followint. A helicopter is put inside a big but quite light box and there is a rod connecting the center of the helicopters rotor to the celing of the box. Would the helicopter be able to lift box or not and why. where would the force be applied

wouldn't work.

the air turned by the rotors which provides lift to the chopper would go downwards and strike the bottom of the box exerting a downward force on the box essentially cancelling out the lift.

i imagine it would work with a cage rather than a solid box, but there would probably be balancing problems.

OP how retarded are you?

Know this is a troll thread but would like to know the physics of the air circulation if this occurred, so rotors are spinning creating lift but lack of "fresh air' causes a vaccum effect?

Know fuck all about this stuff

No. The box wouldn't even get lighter once the thing was flying inside.

Just retread post, so box is attached to central pivot in rotors, so box is spinning aswell. Not sure how this would work with air resistance on sides of "light box" If it was stronger and lighter than most materials we know of it could possible create lift.
