This graduation report presents an analytical model for the disc edge vortices behind the helicopter main rotor. The model has been developed to come to a better understanding of the formation of these vortices and to be able to simulate their influence on helicopter behavior during low speed flight. The model represents a first step into the direction of a more general model, capable of predicting the influence of main rotor/tail rotor interaction on helicopter stability and control.
