Database Introduction Rotary wing flowfields, especially in hover, are highly susceptible to facility recirculation effects and ensuing aperiodicity(Shinoda and Johnson, Piziali and Felker). The tip-vortices trailed from a rotary wing, however, stay in the vicinity of the rotor blades for a few revolutions of the vortex, significantly affecting the bound circulation distribution on the rotor blade. The load distribution on a fixed wing configuration is considerably different from that on a rotary wing configuration due to the incoming velocity variation. www.ae.gatech.edu /labs/windtunl/vortorgn/vortex.htm   (2033 words)

Georgia Institute of Technology :: News Room :: Tech Successfully Flies Smarter Rotary Wing UAV Advances in rotary wing UAVs are particularly important because of their requirement to take off and land in difficult terrain and restricted-size areas, such as ship decks, and their ability to hover while they identify and inspect specific locations. GT Max, the first rotary wing UAV, is able to learn as it flies, maneuver aggressively and automatically plan a route through obstacles thanks to its Open Control Platform system. Researchers from several partner institutions and organizations have helped to successfully build, test and fly the first rotary wing UAV, a helicopter called GTMax, with capabilities of flight control fault identification and reconfiguration, adaptive control and agile maneuvering — all operating on a single vehicle and under a single software architecture. www.gatech.edu /news-room/release.php?id=515   (806 words)

Introduction to Helicopter Flight With early fixed-wing aircraft, the propulsion system (the engine and propeller) and the lift device (the wing) were relatively simple and the challenge was developing control systems to keep the aircraft in level flight and to change direction. Their Fa 61 aircraft used a conventional biplane fuselage, but instead of wings it had two large rotors mounted on outriggers on either side of the aircraft. With a fixed-wing aircraft, even a relatively low-powered engine could propel an aircraft fast enough for its wings to generate lift. www.centennialofflight.gov /essay/Rotary/HE-OV.htm   (1732 words)

Helicopter Development in the Early Twentieth Century Zhukovskii was well known for his theoretical contributions to aerodynamics and published several papers on the subject of rotating wings and helicopters. Some control was achieved by placing auxiliary paddle-like wings below the rotors, and sticks held by men on the ground stabilized the machine. This helicopter was the first flying machine to have risen from the ground using rotor blades instead of wings. www.centennialofflight.gov /essay/Rotary/early_20th_century/HE2.htm   (1871 words)

Helicopter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Helicopters are classified as rotary-wing aircraft to distinguish them from conventional fixed-wing aircraft. A conventional aircraft is able to fly because the forward motion of its angled wings forces air downwards, creating an opposite reaction called lift that forces the wings upwards. A small, fixed wing aircraft can be stable enough that a pilot can let go of the controls while looking at a map or dealing with a radio, and the plane will generally stay on course. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Helicopter   (4353 words)

Subject Listing for Aircraft manufacturing, production and maintenance - civilian aircraft The wing was un-twisted and had an NACA 4415 airfoil section with a 30 percent of chord aileron. Wing skin temperatures were recorded while the aircraft were parked on the ramp overnight. Three sizes of distributed roughness, with elemental height-to-chord ratios of 0.0003, 0.0005 and 0.0006, were sequentially applied to the upper surface of the wing and all roughness applications commenced at the leading edge of the wing, upstream of the aileron only. www.aerade.aero /subject-listing/mpm1.html   (16689 words)

Rotary Wing Aircraft Noise Propagation In addition, Army rotary wing aircraft are operated much lower to the ground. Noise prediction programs developed for conventional aircraft do not necessarily work well for rotary wing aircraft. The helicopter is a source of low- to mid-frequency noise, often of an impulsive nature, whereas aircraft produce fairly steady, higher frequency noises. www.cecer.army.mil /td/tips/product/details.cfm?ID=415&TOP=1   (344 words)

Lawrence Hargrave: Australian Aviation Pioneer One of the areas of interest is the aerodynamic efficiency of various fixed wing, flapping wing, or rotary wing concepts since these vehicles are very small and must fly at very low speeds. The long term goal of this project is to develop aircraft systems that weigh less then one ounce, have about a three inch wing span and can fly for 20 to 50 minutes at between 25 and 35 m.p.h.. --> The buzz: Wings flip, air whirls, bugs lift www.ctie.monash.edu.au /hargrave/legacy1.html   (958 words)

Active Skim View of: The Future of Rotary-Wing Aircraft It did not take Al Flax long to discover that rotary-wing aircraft are different from fixed-wing airplanes. Cierva was attracted to the unpowered, autorotating, wing because of its lifting potential at very low forward speeds. For one thing, 40 percent of the empty weight of a helicopter rotates and the lifting rotor in forward flight experiences in one revolution, as broad an aerodynamic, structural dynamic, and aeroelastic environment as a fixed wing sees in its entire lifetime. www.nap.edu /nap-cgi/skimit.cgi?isbn=0309048818&chap=45-64   (822 words)

Cessna Helicopter Besides being an outstanding rotary wing engineer and pioneer in the field, Dick Prewitt was just a very nice guy and a real pleasure to work with. The suction pump for the flying system was a Cessna-designed rotary vane (six) type positive displacement pump driven by a Gilmer timing belt from the main drive shaft pulley incorporating a hydraulic clutch. The Fl 185 was partly a convertiplane with rotating stub wing tip propellers that also served as anti-torque rotors. www.commercemarketplace.com /home/CollectAir/cessna.html   (18988 words)

92823.011206&ELEMENT_SET=DECL Rotary wing aircraft can also descend straight down from a hover to land on all sorts of terrain, and need not make a gradual descent and approach to land as in the case of fixed wing aircraft. Rotary wing aircraft and aircraft capable of hover present unique challenges for ground proximity alerting due to the different flight profiles flown and the unique capabilities of rotary wing aircraft. In a fixed wing aircraft, the terrain floor relates to a distance AH below the aircraft and is proportional to the distance to the closest runway to prevent nuisance warnings when the aircraft is taking off and landing, while providing adequate protection in other modes of operation. www.wipo.int /cgi-pct/guest/getbykey5?KEY=01/92823.011206&ELEMENT_SET=DECL   (9198 words)

64942.991216&ELEMENT_SET=DECL To limit the complexity and weight of an unmanned rotary wing aircraft, it is convenient to use existing control channels to navigate the aircraft from one position to a new position. The effect of strong winds on a rotary wing aircraft can result in saturated lateral cyclic pitch or aft longitudinal cyclic pitch, as a consequence of limiting to ensure that the aircraft stays within the safe envelope of commands, which assure aircraft stability. Therein, the true heading of the aircraft on the line 13 is subtracted from the true bearing to the destination on a line 66 in a summer 67, to determine the desired aircraft direction on a line 68, which represents the relative bearing to the destination. www.wipo.int /cgi-pct/guest/getbykey5?KEY=99/64942.991216&ELEMENT_SET=DECL   (5580 words)

Recreation: Aviation: Aircraft - Open Site Rotary wing aircraft such as helicopters and gyrocopters use a spinning rotar to provide forward motion and lift. Fixed wing aircraft are sometimes called rigid wing aircraft because of the stiffness of the wing in comparison to a flex wing aircraft. Flex wing aircraft are most often classified as extreme aircraft and considered to be more risky to navigate. www.open-encyclopedia.info /index.php/Recreation/Aviation/Aircraft   (299 words)
