Rotary-wing aerodynamics. Volume 1, Basic theories of rotor aerodynamics (with application to helicopters). Volume 2, Performance prediction of helicopters
W. Z. Stepniewski (Author), C. N. Keys (Author)
Recent literature related to rotary-wing aerodynamics has increased geometrically; yet, the field has long been without the benefit of a solid, practical basic text. To fill that void in technical data, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) commissioned the highly respected practicing engineers and authors to write one. The result: Rotary-Wing Aerodynamics, a clear, concise introduction, highly recommended by U.S. Army experts, that provides students of helicopter and aeronautical engineering with an understanding of the aerodynamic phenomena of the rotor. In addition, it furnishes the tools for quantitative evaluation of both rotor performance and the helicopter as a whole. -- Provided by publisher
