  • In 2013, WIRED Magazine named Dr. James Wang “the Steve Jobs of Rotorcraft” for his ability to think “out of the box” and pushing the transportation technology boundaries. Watch his master lecture on helicopter flight dynamics and controls.
    The complete technical rules for the GoFly Prize can be found at: herox.com/GoFly/guidelines. These rules control and there are many different designs that have the potential to successfully meet the GoFly parameters.

    Omigosh ! I fly RC model helicopters and I found this lecture to be very informative.

    Thank you Dr Wang, I have recently been introduced to tiltrotor dynamics and this video gave me a great confidence boost in further studying this subject. you explained it so easily, even a person with zero background in helicopters understood the concept. less math and more focus on the core, thanks so much

    I have been designing a VTOL high altitude aircraft that is different to everything currently available to fly at 26000m. While designing it I needed to control yaw at low altitudes. This gave me a great idea for the yaw control of a helicopter, another design that has not yet been used, being more efficient and simple than current designs. I hope to set an altitude record for the helicopter first of 13500 metres HOGE, not forward flight. People do laugh, but it is true, if it can be dreamt, it can be built.

    History has a lot of lessons check 50's successful flying soldier platforms .
    The easiest & safest is bigger version of toy grade coaxial heli but rotor overlap decreases efficiency about 20 %.
    1. Tandem rotors most efficient.
    2. Just apply 45 deg flybar to each for STABILITY
    3. Keep them Overhead & have pilot capsule for SAFETY
    4. Don't use collective or cyclic for SIMPLICITY instead attitude control using body weight.on pilot seat hanging as pendulum
    5. Small pusher prop with fin for PROPULSION & direction.
    6. Lipo & let rotors be EDF to act as safe simple power system
    7. Q. long recharging times b/w flights? Let there be battery stations just like gas stations where.u turn in empty battery & pick up standard size charged one.

      Everything helicopters It’s very hard. I’ve read dozens of them. At the beginning you will not understand anything. The best for me is Helicopter Dynamics by Wayne Johnson. If you want to get into it watch czcams.com/video/KdH2-rKEyNY/video.html awesome resource for beginners. But expect to spend a whole month studying to understand.

      Well I have heard that helicopters cannot go upside down, which makes sense given the way the helicopter gets lift so I'm going to guess they cant dothat but I'm no expert

    I just started the video so I don't know if Dr. James Wong will address my question of: why do some helicopters have 2 lifting blades (Bell Heuy, Cobra) and some have 4 (Apache) and some have 7 (CH-53, mil-24 HIND)? Others will have 5 or 6 or whatever, I just want to know what is the purpose of using more than 2 lifting blades.

    • @HonestYu
      @HonestYu Před rokem

      Generally, more blades can decrease the vibration level of a helicopter. And fewer blades mean higher blade loading, which is not feasible for heavy-lift helicopters such as the CH-53s. Furthermore, the blade number is related to the spanwise blade chord distribution, which affects the rotor performance by changing the spanwise lift distribution.
      Besides, the helicopter's rotor blade design should base on the special mission requirement. For example, the AH-64's and UH-60's blades' chords should be wide enough to gain damage tolerance. Still, the rotor rotation speed should be as low as possible to reduce the noise level. And lots of actual requirements make the designers decide on the final blade number.

      @@HonestYu
      Also, the larger the cord, or width of the blade (the wing) the more lift it can produce compared to a rotor with a smaller cord or width... A larger cord/width moves more air than a smaller width, and can do so at lower rpm. A smaller cord or width would need to spin at a higher rpm to produce more lift...

    8:00 His force moments are wonky. Main rotor thrust is downward. It results in an upward movement, though. Tail rotor thrust is in the opposite direction of the movement that results.

    • @albertoj.mollinedo4116
      @albertoj.mollinedo4116 Před 3 lety +2

      No, in helicopters, and I think aerospace in general, thrust is defined as the reaction force in the blade elements. Thrust vector in the helo is generally center of rotor hub, perpendicular to rotor disk, pointing up. In airplanes T is located at the center propeller directly forward.
