yes assuming no winds - the earth will rotate of course but the air mass above the earth rotates with it ...

Assuming no wind/friction, it isn't on the different aspect of the globe. The helicopter has an angular speed (rotational speed) that would not merely disappear. That speed continues to be consistent. that is going to land precisely the position it took off from. EDIT: both human beings lower than me are incorrect. the point is the angular speed continues to be an same. very similar to in case you bounce even as on a airplane. you received't in the present day end and slam into the back wall of the airplane, you'll nonetheless commute on an same horizontal speed. merely because you're indirectly linked to the airplane once you bounce would not advise you end. PPS: hispanicpanic, it really is transferring with the Earth. Assuming we are pushing aside air resistance, it does no longer lose that %. the position did the speed flow if it lost it? Momentum must be conserved.

What kind of helicopter and how high is it hovering? If it is a model helicopter then with enough time, such as one hour a skilled remote controller could take a one hour time frame to land the model helicopter in the exact position, given the weather conditions are appropriate enough for such an exact return to the surface.

That depends if it lands in one hour or not. If so, then taking that there are no winds, the pilots skill in taking off with the blades completely parallel to the ground, then yes, it will land in the same place it took off from. But it will not land in the same place it was hovering for an hour.

No...even with a very skilled/competent pilot,and with winds calm-the helicopter would still be slightly off target(given 1 hour) when landing-Earth doesn't stand still...and time waits for no one!

yes if it does move before landing. But of course nothing can be touch 2 times.

nice question if earth's revolution is kept in mind. Even i would like to know the answer. Logically it shouldn't land but lets leave to experts.

If the pilot decides that he wants to, or his skill can coordinate the target!

That all depends on the skill of the pilot.

No because the earth will move
