Proceed to Aviation Instructor's HandbookĬopyright ©1999-2017 Dynamic Flight, Inc. Full Text Available Some results are presented about the study of airloads of the helicopter rotor blades, the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoil. Performance characteristics and thickness desirable for airplane airfoils are not necessarily good for wind turbine airfoils. 77 Rotor Blade Airfoil Selection The airfoil for a helicopter rotor blade is chosen to give the rotor good aerodynamic efficiency while allowing the. provements in airfoils have been tremendous, modern day helicopters using special. (Others are noted on the topic page itself).Ĭlick on a topic below to go to that page, Click on the return links at bottom to come back here. Airfoils Airfoils have has been one of the more confusing and misunderstood aspects of designing a wind turbine blade. 1.3 Complications related to helicopter aerodynamics including stall. Symmetrical airfoils have identical upper and lower surfaces. Airfoil sections are of two basic types, symmetrical and nonsymmetrical. Usually the designer must compromise to obtain an airfoil section that has the best flight characteristics for the mission the aircraft will perform.
Topics are from Army Field Manual FM 1-203, Fundamentals Of Flight, 9 September 1983, Text and Graphics also taken from that Revision and updated for accuracy and display. In this seminar I discuss the historical backgrounds and early concepts of helicopter, then introducing introducing the. An airfoil is a curved surface body or structure designed to produce a lift or thrust force when subjected to an airflow. Helicopter blades have airfoil sections designed for a specific set of flight characteristics.
