The field of helicopter rotor aerodynamics is basically the study of unsteady aerodynamic flows in a rotating and translating coordinate system. Current trends in this field are briefly reviewed by examining recent advances in lifting-surface theory, wake modeling, panel methods, and finite-difference models. Examples are used to illustrate selected current methods and some indications of promising future directions are highlighted.
