Helicopter rotor blades

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1993
Flow separation behind the notch region of a swept tip of a helicopter rotor blade is reduced by features of the geometry and aerodynamic characteristics of the notch region itself. In particular it has been found beneficial for a forwardly swept leading edge portion to extend at an angle between 30 degrees and 55 degrees from a reference line parallel

The Stressing of Rotor Blades

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1938
NUMEROUS difficulties are encountered in any attempt to ascertain the loads which come into action on a gyroplane rotor blade, and the stresses which these loads impose on the blade. The loads are not steady but variable, complicated and subject to intractable fluctuations. In consequence the blades are in a continual state of agitation.

The Evolution of the Rotor Blade

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1969
THE helicopter presents a classic case of a device for which there is an insatiable world demand that cannot be met because the current state of engineering development prohibits an economic product. The overriding factor in any airborne vehicle is the necessity of achieving a viable payload and performance at an acceptable cost with dependable ...

Blade And Rotor Arrangement

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011
A fan rotor arrangement comprises a fan rotor ( 24 ) and a plurality of fan blades ( 26 ). Each fan blade ( 26 ) comprises a root portion ( 36 ) and an aerofoil portion ( 38 ). Each aerofoil portion ( 38 ) has a leading edge ( 44 ), a trailing edge ( 46 ) and a tip ( 48 ).

The Design of Rotor Blades

Journal of the Aeronautical Sciences, 1942
T FACTORS THAT AFFECT the design of flexibly mounted rotor blades—that is, blades incorporating horizontal and vertical hinges—are practically the same for autorotat ing rotors and power-driven rotors insofar as knowledge of power-driven rotors has progressed to date. The design of rotor blades may be divided into two par t s : (a) determination of the

The Bending of Rotor Blades

Journal of the Aeronautical Sciences, 1947
THE PROBLEM of determining bending moments in rotor blades is a fundamental one in the design of rotating wing aircraft. Several methods for solving the problem have been proposed, both empirical and theoretical. In general, the theoretical methods have been so involved that most blade designers have had to take recourse to empirical or semiempirical ...

A review of composite rotor blade modeling

29th Structures, Structural Dynamics and Materials Conference, 1988
Analyses applicable to composite helicopter rotor blades are reviewed. Important features of such analyses include transverse shear deformation, torsional warping, and nonlinearities associated with large displacement and rotation of the reference cross section.

Robot for rotor blade inspection

2010 1st International Conference on Applied Robotics for the Power Industry, 2010
Rotor blades of wind energy converters are highly stressed components subject to constant load cycles. Regular inspections of rotor blades are indispensible for reliable operation and cost effective production without longer downtimes. Insurers and lenders demand routine inspection of rotor blades every two years.

Helicopter Rotor Blades

1973
The development of fiber reinforced resin-bonded structural composite materials has created a new degree of design flexibility for the helicopter engineer. The development and commercial availability of glass fibers, carbon or graphite fibers, and boron fibers, with their attendant widely varying stiffness properties and material densities, enable the ...
