Single-Rotor Helicopter Design and Performance Estimation Programs. Volume I. Methodology.

Abstract

Computer programs, designated SSP-1 and SSP-2, have been prepared for: (1) the preliminary design of single-rotor helicopters to meet specified mission requirements, and (2) the estimation of the performance of single-rotor helicopters of known geometry and with known engine characteristics. The present volume is one of a series describing those computer programs. It details the methodology on which all of those programs are based. (Author)
