Fig. 3.23 Conditions for hover and four different airspeeds. In (a) note the drag d increasing as the square of the speed and requiring an increasingly forward tilt of the rotor thrust T. Curve (b) shows the vertical component of inflow. In conjunction with the airspeed this determines the direction and magnitude of the RAF (c). The actual inflow is the component of RAF along the rotor shaft. Note there will be a speed at which the minimum power is required to maintain height.
92 The Art of the Helicopter (a) (b) (c) Fig. 3.24 (a) Given the pressure difference across a rotor in the hover, surrounding air will tend to move upwards. In translational flight the edge of the rotor may actually encounter upwash. (b) In forward flight the rotor acts like a low aspect ratio wing. Vortices curl over the tips and down through the rear of the disc, reducing the angle of attack there. Loss of lift at the rear precesses into inflow roll. (c) As the rotor blades are coned, in forward flight the air approaches at a different angle as shown here. The component perpendicular to the blade is greater for blades at the rear, where the angle of attack is reduced. Whilst coning causes no undue aerodynamic problems to a hovering helicopter, it has an unwanted effect in forward flight. Figure 3.24(c) shows that the effect of coning is to reduce the angle of attack of the blade passing across the tail compared with that of the blade passing across the nose. As for the inflow roll, this results in a taildown moment applied to the disc, which likewise manifests itself as a roll towards the advancing side because of the phase lag of the rotor. The two effects take place in parallel, but as different functions of airspeed. Inflow roll commences on leaving the hover but reduces significantly as speed increases, whereas coning roll slightly increases
