Helicopter Principles of Flight
$49.95
This book tackles the understanding of Rotary-Wing aerodynamics with contributing text on the subject of Physics for Safer Flying in a helicopter.
While the differences between flying fixed wing and helis may seem obvious at first, there are numerous helicopter-flight scenarios where taking the seemingly logical course of corrective action will only make things worse.
Arm yourself with the information contained in this book for a safer and smarter helicopter flying experience.
Contains:
- Newtons laws of motion and their relevancy to helicopter flight
- How airflow dictates the function and design of aerofoils, rotor blades and flight controls
- All the lift and drag “forces in flight” you’ll encounter while flying and how to respond safely
- Types of stability, ground effect, translational lift, tail rotor drift and correcting them effectively
- A study of demanding scenarios, such as auto-rotations, vortrex ring and dynamic rollover
- How types of power and aircraft and load weight and balance effect all of the above + much more
