Principles of helicopter flight under
various conditions are reviewed in this note, giving special attention to the
operation of the main rotor. A brief history of helicopter development is
presented, together with a summary of the main components of a helicopter and a
classification of the various types of helicopters.
This note covers the following topics: Principles of Helicopter
and VTOL Flight, Rotary wing Areodynamics, Helicopter performance in hover and
in forward flight, Simple control concepts for helicopters, flapping dynamics
and control moments, Rotary wing aeroelasticity, The helicopter vibration
problems in forward flight.
This book
describes the recent progress in some engine technologies and active flow
control and morphing technologies and in topics related to aeroacoustics and
aircraft controllers. Both the researchers and students should find the material
useful in their work.
Flight dynamics deals
principally with the response of aerospace vehicles to perturbations in their
flight environments and to control inputs. Topics covered includes: Introduction
to Flight Dynamics, Implications of Vehicle Symmetry, Aerodynamic Control,
Atmospheric Properties, Lifting surface geometry and nomenclature, Aerodynamic
properties of airfoils, Aerodynamic properties of finite wings, Wing-tail
interference, Static Longitudinal Stability and Control, Dynamical Equations for
Flight Vehicles, Dynamic Stability, Control of Aircraft Motions.
