Extract

Criteria for the design of helicopter rotor blades has been long established but the introduction of composite materials opens up new means of achieving these.

As an introduction to the subject I would like to look briefly at the design considerations under the headings:

  1. 1. Aerodynamics

  2. 2. Dynamics

  3. 3. Strength
