Note generali

"Two volumes bound as one" -- Cover page

This Dover edition, first published in 1984, is an unabridged, slightly corrected republication in one volume of the work originally published in two volumes by the Science and Technical Information Office of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the U.S. Army Air Mobility Research & Development Laboratory of the Aviation Systems Command. Volume I, “Basic Theories of Rotor Aerodynamics (With Application to Helicopters),” by W. Z. Stepniewski, was originally published in 1979. Volume II, “Performance Prediction of Helicopters,” by C. N. Keys, originally published in 1979, is being reprinted here from the 1981 edition revised and edited by W. Z. Stepniewski

Sommario/riassunto

Recent literature related to rotary-wing aerodynamics has increased geometrically; yet, the field has long been without the benefit of a solid, practical basic text. To fill that void in technical data, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) commissioned the highly respected practicing engineers and authors W. Z. Stepniewski and C. N. Keys to write one. The result: Rotary-Wing Aerodynamics, a clear, concise introduction, highly recommended by U.S. Army experts, that provides students of helicopter and aeronautical engineering with an understanding of the aerodynamic phenomena o
