An internationally recognized expert explains the aerodynamic principles of helicopters and other rotating-wing vertical lift aircraft. Besides the history of helicopter flight, basic methods of analysis, and performance and design issues, Leishman covers airfoil flows, unsteady aerodynamics, dynamic stall, and rotor wakes. Each chapter includes homework problems.
