  2. Powered lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_lift

    The powered rotors of a tiltrotor (sometimes called proprotor) are mounted on rotating shafts or nacelles at the end of a fixed wing, and used for both lift and propulsion. For vertical flight, the rotors are angled to provide thrust upwards, lifting the way a helicopter rotor does.

  3. Tail rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_rotor

    The tail rotor system rotates airfoils, small wings called blades, that vary in pitch in order to vary the amount of thrust they produce.The blades most often utilize a composite material construction, such as a core made of aluminum honeycomb or plasticized paper honeycomb, covered in a skin made of aluminum or carbon fiber composite.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiltrotor

    Original Patent filed May 28,1929 Transcendental Model 1-G hovering Bell X-22 A Bell XV-15 prepares to land. The first work in the direction of a tilt-rotor (French "Convertible") seems to have originated ca. 1902 by the French-Swiss brothers Henri and Armand Dufaux, for which they got a patent in February 1904, and made their work public in April 1905.

  5. Disk loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_loading

    The higher the loading, the more power needed to maintain rotor speed. [3] A low disk loading is a direct indicator of high lift thrust efficiency. [4] Increasing the weight of a helicopter increases disk loading. For a given weight, a helicopter with shorter rotors will have higher disk loading, and will require more engine power to hover.

  6. Rotor solidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_solidity

    Rotor solidity is a dimensionless quantity used in design and analysis of rotorcraft, propellers and wind turbines.Rotor solidity is a function of the aspect ratio and number of blades in the rotor and is widely used as a parameter for ensuring geometric similarity in rotorcraft experiments.

  7. Helicopter rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_rotor

    At the top of the mast is the attachment point (colloquially called a Jesus nut) for the rotor blades called the hub. The rotor blades are then attached to the hub, and the hub can have 10-20 times the drag of the blade. [1] Main rotor systems are classified according to how the main rotor blades are attached and move relative to the main rotor ...

  8. Rotordynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotordynamics

    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.

  9. Rotor wing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_wing

    The various types of such rotor wings may be classified according to the axis of the rotor. Types include: [1] [2] Vertical-axis. Conventional rotary wings as used by modern rotorcraft. Spanwise horizontal-axis. Wing rotor: an airfoil-section horizontal-axis rotor which creates the primary lift. Magnus rotor: a rotor which creates lift via the ...
