Coning is a phenomenon which affects helicopter rotor discs. The tips of the helicopter rotor blades move faster through the air than the parts of the blades near the hub, so they generate more lift, which pushes the tips of the blades upwards, resulting in a slight cone shape to the rotor disc. This is balanced by centrifugal force.
Rotordynamics (or rotor dynamics) is a specialized branch of applied mechanics concerned with the behavior and diagnosis of rotating structures. It is commonly used to analyze the behavior of structures ranging from jet engines and steam turbines to auto engines and computer disk storage.
Two rotors illustrating the geometric significance of rotor solidity ratio. The rotor on the right has a larger solidity ratio due to the blades covering a larger fraction of the net rotor disk area. A crude idea of what a rotor or propeller geometry looks like can be obtained from the rotor solidity ratio. Rotors with stubbier and/or a larger ...
The dissymmetry of lift of one rotor disc is cancelled by the dissymmetry of lift of the other rotor disc. [citation needed] Tandem rotor helicopters such as the CH-47 Chinook still suffer from dissymmetry of lift, because the rotors are offset from one another. Tandem-rotor helicopters are installed with automatic cyclic feathering systems.
The Steelers retain first place in the division – for now – by virtue of a one-game lead over the Ravens in AFC games, i.e., not much at all. Remaining schedule : vs. Chiefs, vs. Bengals y – 4.
An actuator disk accelerating a fluid flow from right to left. In fluid dynamics, momentum theory or disk actuator theory is a theory describing a mathematical model of an ideal actuator disk, such as a propeller or helicopter rotor, by W.J.M. Rankine (1865), [1] Alfred George Greenhill (1888) and Robert Edmund Froude (1889).
The officer alleged that the couple had been requesting monetary donations through a GoFundMe page and word of mouth, to fund their 6-year-old son's medical treatment.
The Minneapolis City Council on Monday approved an agreement with the federal government in response to the murder of George Floyd that would require reforms within the city’s police department ...
