    Description: Basic theories of rotor aerodynamics are presented and applied to the performance prediction of helicopters. The very simple physicomathematical model of the rotor offered by momentum theory is addressed first, followed by the combined blade-element and momentum theory. Vortex theory is discussed, and a rotor blade is modeled by means of a vortex filament or vorticity surface. Considerations of airfoil sections suitable for rotors are examined. Detailed performance techniques for a single-rotor helicopter in hover, vertical ascent, and forward flight are described, and winged and tandem-rotor helicopter performance calculations are presented as extensions and modifications of single-rotor methodology. Computer data based on the vortex theory are compared with approximate results obtained from the simplified momentum theory and the blade element solution.

    Description: Trade-off study results and the rationale for the final selection of an existing modern four-bladed rotor system that can be adapted for installation on the Rotor Systems Research Aircraft (RSRA) are reported. The results of the detailed integration studies, parameter change studies, and instrumentation studies and the recommended plan for development and qualification of the rotor system is also given. Its parameter variants, integration on the RSRA, and support of ground and flight test programs are also discussed.

    Description: Application of theories, as well as, special methods of procedures applicable to performance prediction are illustrated first, on an example of the conventional helicopter and then, winged and tandem configurations. Performance prediction of conventional helicopters in hover and vertical ascent are investigated. Various approaches to performance prediction in forward translation are presented. Performance problems are discussed only this time, a wing is added to the baseline configuration, and both aircraft are compared with respect to their performance. This comparison is extended to a tandem. Appendices on methods for estimating performance guarantees and growth of aircraft concludes this volume.
