Название: Lecture Notes in Rotorcraft Engineering Автор: Antonio Filippone, George Barakos Издательство: Springer Серия: Springer Aerospace Technology Год: 2023 Страниц: 255 Язык: английский Формат: pdf (true) Размер: 10.2 MB
This textbook is a multi-disciplinary compendium that includes several aspects of rotorcraft technology. It introduces the reader to the aerodynamic aspects of rotary wings and presents experimental techniques for aerodynamics. The chapters also cover rotorcraft engines and rotorcraft steady-state flight performance and stability. It explores several aspects of the tiltrotor configuration and lists challenges in their design, modelling and simulation. The reader will also find an introductory overview of flight control systems for rotorcraft, as well as the conceptual and preliminary design concepts for a conventional helicopter. This textbook contains video recordings of computer simulations that can be used alongside the main text.
The Chapter 1 introduces the reader to the aerodynamic aspects of rotary wings. It is written as an introduction for aspiring students, not as a replacement of well-known texts used for rotorcraft classes at University level. It should be used as a first read what is a very complex but fascinating topic in rotorcraft. This chapter illustrates the aerodynamic environment of the rotor, the rotorcraft blade sections and their features, modern aerofoil developments, advanced blade tip designs and advanced rotor design methods. While studying this chapter, one should keep in mind that aerodynamics means different things to different people. When looking at pilot training, the lines between aerodynamics, performance, and aircraft handling are blurred. The technical literature on rotorcraft aerodynamics is dominated by the rotor, but there is a volume of work on fuselage drag as well.
