Basic Helicopter Aerodynamics, now in its third edition, is widely
appreciated as an easily accessible, rounded introduction to the
first principles of the aerodynamics of helicopter flight.
Concentrating on the well-known Sikorsky configuration of single
main rotor with tail rotor, the authors avoid the lengthy
mathematical treatment of some textbooks, thereby making the
material accessible to undergraduates as well as engineers looking
for an introduction to the subject. Early chapters deal with the
aerodynamics of the rotor in hover, vertical flight, forward flight
and climb. Analysis of these motions is developed to the stage of
obtaining the principal results for thrust, power and associated
quantities. Later chapters turn to the characteristics of the
overall helicopter, its performance, stability and control, and the
important field of aerodynamic research is discussed, with some
reference also to aerodynamic design practice. This third edition
has been brought up to date with a complete new set of
illustrations & imagery, as well as an accompanying website
that contains all the calculation files used in the book, problems,
solutions and powerpoint slides.The authors address the unique
considerations applicable to rotor UAVs/ MAVs, and coverage of
blade dynamics is expanded to include lagging and ground resonance,
and new material is included on blade tip design, flow
characteristics surrounding the rotor in forward flight, tail
rotors, and brown-out, blade sailing and shipborne operations.
