Basic Helicopter Aerodynamics An Account of First Principles in the Fluid Mechanics and Flight Dynamics of the Single Rotor Helicopter - Aiaa Education Series Author:J. Seddon, Simon Newman This volume is an excellent introduction to the aerodynamics of helicopters. Basic Helicopter Aerodynamics provides an account of the first principles in the fluid mechanics and flight dynamics of single-rotor helicopters. The text is intended to provide, in a short volume, an introduction to the theory of rotary-wing aircraft for use by undergr... more »aduate and graduate students, while providing a detailed description of the physical phenomena involved. The text assumes that the reader already has some knowledge of differences between the fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. Many diagrams, drawings, graphs, and representative sets of data augment the text.« less
