This book is developed to serve as a concise text for a course on helicopter aerodynamics at the introductory level. It introduces to the rotary-wing aerodynamics, with applications to helicopters, and application of the relevant principles to the aerodynamic design of a helicopter rotor and its blades. The basic aim of this book is to make a complete text covering both the basic and applied aspects of theory of rotary wing flying machine for students, engineers, and applied physicists. The philosophy followed in this book is that the subject of helicopter aerodynamics is covered combining the theoretical analysis, physical features and the application aspects. Considerable number of solved examples and exercise problems with answers are coined for this book. This book will cater to the requirement of numerical problems on helicopter flight performance, which is required for the students of aeronautical/aerospace engineering..

SALIENT FEATURES

• To provide an introductory treatment of the aerodynamic theory of rotary-wing aircraft

• To study the fundamentals of rotor aerodynamics for rotorcraft in hovering flight, axial flight, and forward flight modes

• To perform blade element analysis, investigate rotating blade motion, and quantify basic helicopter performance

ETHIRAJAN RATHAKRISHNAN, Ph.D., is Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. He is well-known internationally for his research in the area of high-speed jets. The limit for the passive control of jets, called Rathakrishnan Limit, is the contribution to the field of jet research. The concept of breathing blunt nose (BBN), which reduces the positive pressure at the nose and increases the positive pressure at the base simultaneously, is his contribution to drag reduction at hypersonic speeds. Recently he received a ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ from International Sustainable Aviation and Energy Research Society (SARES) for his novel scientific contributions to the area of Sustainable Aviation and Energy. He has published a large number of research articles in many reputed international journals. He is a Fellow of many professional societies, including the Royal Aeronautical Society.

Professor Rathakrishnan serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the International Review of Aerospace Engineering (IREASE) and International Review of Mechanical Engineering (IREME) journals. He has authored eleven books including Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics (2nd ed), Helicopter Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics (7th ed), published by PHI Learning, Delhi.
