Principles of helicopter aerodynamics / J. Gordon Leishman. - 2nd ed. - Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2006 - xxxvii , 826 p. : il. ; 27 cm. - Cambridge aerospace series ; 18 .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book is a modern treatment of the aerodynamic principles of helicopters and rotating-wing vertical lift aircraft. Part one covers the technical history of helicopter flight, basic methods of rotor aerodynamics, and performance-related design issues. Part two contains advanced topics in helicopter aerodynamics, including airfoil flows, unsteady aerodynamics, dynamic stall, rotor wakes, and rotor-airframe aerodynamic interactions. Part three contains chapters on autogiros and advanced aerodynamic analysis and a new chapter on the aerodynamics of wind turbines. The book is extensively illustrated and contains homework problems.
