      <title>COMPRESSIBLE FLOW ABOUT HELICOPTER ROTORS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/85057</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Two theoretical methods for helicopter rotors or propellers in subsonic flow are presented, namely a lifting-line theory for a helicopter rotor in vertical climb, hovering or in slow descent, or a propeller in steady forward flight or operating statically, and a disk approximation for a helicopter rotor in forward flight or a propeller in yaw. In both methods, the compressibility of the air is taken into account.  First, the problem of a vertically moving rotor is treated with the method of matched asymptotic expansions.  In the second case, the rotor is approximated by a disk of continuous thrust and in-plane force distributions, which are assumed to be known.  Its wake is represented by a semi-infinite cylinder of distributed vorticity.  Formulas for the induced velocity field are derived.]]></description>

      <title>THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF BLADE ICE ACCRETION ON THE POWER-OFF LANDING CAPABILITY OF A WESSEX HELICOPTER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/85029</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The effect of rotor blade icing on the performance of a Wessex helicopter has been investigated theoretically.  The paper concentrates on the behavior of the aircraft following total power failure, but some consideration is also given to the performance losses in forward flight.  An attempt is made to relate the torque increases calculated in forward flight to the performance in autorotation and the ability to make a power-off landing is studied.  The effect of blade ice is represented by a decrease in lift curve slope and an increase in the drag of the blade section, with the magnitude and spanwise distribution of the changes being varied to cover a range of conditions.  The predictions show that the time in which a pilot must react to a total power failure, so as to avoid a drop in rotor speed below the minimum permitted level, can be correlated with the excess torque at the moment of engine failure.  No simple relation between the performance losses in the steady autorotative descent could be found because of the different load distribution on the blades.]]></description>

      <title>APPRECIATION OF THE DYNAMIC PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXTERNAL TRANSPORTATION OF LOADS FROM A HELICOPTER -- STATE OF THE ART</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/73028</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Extensive wind tunnel and full-scale trials have indicated the serious speed limitations imposed by most loads when underslung from a helicopter on a single point suspension. Furthermore, the stability of each load must be judged on its own merits.  The merits of the tandem suspension are such that the vast majority of loads can now be stabilized at forward speeds in excess of 150 kt, provided that due consideration is given to the power and control limits of the helicopter.  Furthermore, external load transportation by helicopter should be independent of weather conditions.]]></description>

      <title>ELECTRONIC INTEGRATED PILOT DISPLAY IS EVALUATED IN NORTH SEA OPERATIONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/73032</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An electronic integrated pilot display manufactured by Kaiser Aerospace and Electronics has been under operational evaluation in a Sikorsky S-61N helicopter operated by KLM Noordzee Helikopters B.  V.  since November 1975.  This instrument, using a cathode ray tube as a display device, combines the data from all instruments normally scanned by the S-61 pilot during instrument takeoffs and landings.  It is installed in place of the conventional artificial horizon in the right-hand instrument panel.  Modes of operation under evaluation include instrument takeoff (adaptive to aircraft gross weight and density altitude), cruise, and approach modes.]]></description>

      <title>FUTURE OF SHORT-HAUL AIR TRANSPORT WITHIN WESTERN-EUROPE, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE ROLE OF V/STOL-AIRCRAFT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/72182</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An outline is given of the future of short-haul transport in Western Europe, mainly based on a study of the Netherlands V/STOL-Working Group.  The problems of the existing system using aircraft with conventional take-off and landing techniques (CTOL) to cope with the growth in passenger demand are considered.  It is pointed out that the introduction of a new category of aircraft, using improved take-off and landing techniques (RTOL or STOL) can relieve these problems.]]></description>

      <title>INTERCITY VTOL AIRCRAFT -- A HAWKER SIDDELEY REVIEW</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/72183</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A short history to date is given of the work carried out on civil V/STOL aircraft.  The outstanding and unique characteristics of the V/STOL transport system work are restated.  Finally, it is indicated that a VTOL aircraft could be a minimum energy answer to this transport problem.]]></description>
