Principles of Helicopter Aerodynamics with CD Extra (Cambridge Aerospace)

Principles of Helicopter Aerodynamics with CD Extra (Cambridge Aerospace) by Leishman D.Sc.(Eng.) Ph.D. F.R.Ae.S., Gordon J.. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780521858601.

This book is a modern treatment of the aerodynamic principles of helicopters and rotating-wing vertical lift aircraft. Part one covers the technical history of helicopter flight, basic methods of rotor aerodynamics, and performance-related design issues. Part two contains advanced topics in helicopter aerodynamics, including airfoil flows, unsteady aerodynamics, dynamic stall, rotor wakes, and rotor-airframe aerodynamic interactions. Part three contains chapters on autogiros and advanced aerodynamic analysis and a new chapter on the aerodynamics of wind turbines. The book is extensively illustrated and contains homework problems.
