The development and history of the helicopter are briefly reviewed. Fundamental mechanisms of the helicopter are then described. The addition of auxiliary propulsion to a winged helicopter eliminates the restriction to normal speed. Rotorcraft configuration for high speed performance is examined. V/STOL concepts and economic impact are discussed. The roles of system complexity and reliability are discussed with an emphasis on cost effectiveness. The relationship of technical aerodynamics is examined against a background of other aspects of rotorcraft.
