AbstractThe complex problems associated with the aerodynamics of blade/vortex interactions, the dynamics of a blade displaced out of its plane of rotation, and the position control of a hovering helicopter are discussed. Simplified models help to describe, and appear to be adequate for analysing, many aspects of these problems. Free wake analyses are shown to be of importance in determining blade loads and performance for hovering flight or for wind turbines. Unsteady aerodynamics and careful definition of the wake formation are required when computing vibratory airloads in forward flight.
