Active rotor control for helicopters: individual blade control and swashplateless rotor designs

CEAS Aeronautical Journal, 2011
Modern helicopters still suffer from many problems that hinder a further increase in their efficiency, acceptance and hence their market share. The high level of vibrations and the noise generated by the rotor are the most important reasons for this. Vibrations are problematic not only for pilot and passenger comfort, but also give rise to an increase ...

Failure of a Helicopter Main Rotor Blade

1992
Abstract A Marine Corps helicopter crash was investigated. Efforts were directed to the failure of one of the main rotor blades that had apparently separated in the air. The apparent failure of a blade integrity monitor (BIM) system was also considered.

Mechanical Stability of a Two-Bladed Cantilever Helicopter Rotor

Journal of the Aeronautical Sciences, 1956
SUMMARY A theoretical analysis of the mechanical stability of a twobladed cantilever helicopter rotor, whose hub is mounted upon isotropic elastic supports in the horizontal plane and whose elastic blades employ fixed root attachments, has been made and is reported here.

The Single-Rotor Helicopter with Rigidly-Mounted Blades

The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1963
For many years, studies of various light aircraft designs have been carried on by the Lockheed-California Company in search of a vehicle that had the potential of truly generating the “air age”—a vehicle which would perform a useful service to many people, in many jobs.
