Helicopter Aerodynamics

What is a helicopter ?
• It is a type of aircraft which derives both lift
and propulsion from one or more sets of
horizontally revolving overhead rotors. It is
capable of moving vertically and horizontally,
the direction of motion being controlled by the
pitch of the rotor blades.
Components of a Helicopter
Components of a Helicopter
• Rotor Blade: The rotary wing that provides lift for the
helicopter.
• Stabilizer Bar: Dampens control inputs to make
smoother changes to the rotor system.
• Swashplate: Transfers non-moving control inputs into
the spinning rotor system.
• Cowling: The aerodynamic covering for the engine.
• Mast: Connects the transmission to the rotor system.
• Engine: Provides power to the rotor systems.
Components of a Helicopter
• Transmission: Takes power from the engine and
drives both rotor systems.
• Greenhouse Window: A tinted window above each of
the pilot seats.
• Fuselage: The body of the helicopter.
• Cabin Door: Allows access to the cabin and cockpit.
• Skids: Landing gear that usually have no wheels or
brakes.
• Crosstube: The mounting tubes and connection for
the skids.
Components of a Helicopter
• Tailboom: Also known as an "empennage" is the tail
of the helicopter.
• Synchronized Elevator: A movable wing that helps
stabilize the helicopter in flight.
Main Rotor System
• Root: The inner end of the
blade where the rotors
connect to the blade grips.
• Blade Grips: Large
attaching points where the
rotor blade connects to the
hub.
• Hub: Sits atop the mast, and
connects the rotor blades to
the control tubes.
• Mast: Rotating shaft from
the transmission, which
connects the rotor blades to
the helicopter.
Main Rotor System
• Control Tubes: Push  Pull
tubes that change the pitch
of the rotor blades.
• Pitch Change Horn: The
armature that converts
control tube movement to
blade pitch.
• Pitch: Increased or
decreased angle of the rotor
blades to raise, lower, or
change the direction of the
rotors thrust force.
• Jesus Nut: Is the singular
nut that holds the hub onto
the mast.
Swash Plate
• It is a component of the
helicopter which turns
non-rotating control
movements into rotating
control movements.
Helicopter controls
There are two types of controls:
• Collective control
• Cyclic control
Collective Control
• In collective control, the
pitch of the rotor blades
are changed collectively
i.e., the pitch of every
rotor blade is changed by
the same amount.
• Doing this increases or
decreases the lift that the
main rotor supplies to the
vehicle, allowing the
helicopter to gain or lose
altitude.
Cyclic Control
• The left and right, forward
and aft control. It puts in
one control input into the
rotor system at a time
through the swash plate.
• It changes the angle of
attack of the main rotor's
blades unevenly by tilting
the swash plate assembly.
On one side of the
helicopter, the angle of
attack (and lift) will be
greater, and on the other
sides angle of attack (and
lift) will be lesser.
THANK YOU
