Extract

The helicopter, because of its complicated nature, provides the mathematician with a delightful set of problems on which to exercise his ingenuity, but the purpose of this paper is to interpret the functioning of the helicopter in terms of its physical aspects.

The paper is divided into three main parts: —

  1. 1. General Performance

  2. 2. Control and Stability

  3. 3. Rotor Vibration Problems.
