Computer Program for Preliminary Helicopter Design.

Abstract

This report gives the operator of the Hewlett-Packard (HP-41) handheld calculator the ability to quickly and accurately determine the power requirements of a helicopter in the preliminary design phase. These power requirements are computed for three landing gear configurations: skid, fixed wheel, and retractable wheel. By comparing the power required for each configuration, the user can determine the optimum landing gear for the design. (Author)
