What helps to compensating for the dissymmetry of lift?
Flapping
7 of 14
Purpose of the underslug design ?
Blades are below the horizontal and inclined upwardsand reduces coriolis effect

10 of 14
Define relative wind
airflow which is moving parallel to
and opposite to the flight path of the blade
11 of 14
What is the pitch angle?
is the angle between the chord of the rotor and the reference plane,
12 of 14
Why are Symmetrical Aerofoils used on helicopters?
are used to limit
CP movement with changes in angle of
attack
13 of 14
What is feathering ?
This is the rotation of the
blade about its pitch axis. It is controlled by
both collective and cyclic control inputs
