Basic physics fundamental to helicopter flight; rotor and propeller performance in axial flight; hover performance; helicopter power requirements for forward flight; autorotation; ground effect and vertical drag effect; blade element theories; use of dimensionless coefficients for helicopter performance; and rotor lift drag ratio as a measure of aerodynamic efficiency are briefly discussed.
