Principles of Helicopter Flight
Hovering flight
-Lift and thrust resultant
-Weight and drag
-Axis of rotation
-Coning
-Translating tendency
-Direction of airflow
-Ground effect
-Gyroscopic precession
-Pendular action
-Loss of tailrotor effectiveness
Forward, sideward, and rearward hovering
-Lift and thrust resultant
-Weight and drag
Forward flight
-Lift and thrust resultant
-Weight and drag
-Blade flapping
-Coriolis effect
-Translational lift
-Dissymmetry of lift
-Transverse flow effect
-Retreating blade stall
-Low rpm blade stall
-Low G / Mast bumping
-Settling with power
