Flight Measurements of Helicopter Blade Motion With a Comparison Between Theoretical and Experimental Results
Description:
Note presenting photographic records of the behavior of a blade in flight as obtained with a conventional single-rotor helicopter. The results of the measurements of flapping motion, in-plane motion, and blade distortions are presented for selected conditions of flight at tip-speed ratios ranging from 0.12 to 0.25. Plots of blade twisting and blade bending in the plane of flapping are presented for a sample case.
