Helicopter Flight Dynamics: The Theory and Application of Flying Qualities and Simulation Modeling (Aiaa Education Series)

This volume provides a comprehensive treatment of the theoretical background to the dynamics of helicopter flight, the development of handling criteria, and new flight-test techniques. Flying quality is described from both objective and subjective perspectives, and test results are presented from a variety of different sources including the author's own research experience in the United Kingdom and in collaboration with other government agencies. It is recommended for graduate and postgraduate students, engineers in research laboratories and the manufacturing industry, test pilots, and flight test engineers in aerospace engineering.
