Greetings prospective attendees,
Thinking of coming to the Rotary Wing Short Course? I hope you will join us. To help you make your decision, I would like to give you a little more information than is contained in the brochure. There are simply too many topics to list in detail, so I've listed only the major ones.
| Barnes W. McCormick Aerodynamics History Glauert's hypothesis Aerodynamics of hover Aerodynamics of forward flight Trim and performance Tilt-rotor aerodynamics High-speed rotorcraft |
Richard L. Bennett Dynamics Basic dynamics Source of oscillatory loads Flapping and lead-lag Coupling and ground resonance Rotating mode shapes Harmonic blades for multibladed rotors |
|
Robert M. McKillip Jr. |
David Pullman Composites Introduction to composites Analysis of composites Composite design Fabrication of composites Testing of composites Composite failure modes FAA certification of composites |
| John W. Leverton Acoustics Tip speed selection Physics of sound Helicopter noise Rotational noise Main rotor wake/tail rotor interaction Operational impact and typical patterns Testing |
Robert C. Bill Propulsion and Drive Overall propulsion system configurations Engine aero components and performance Mechanical components Drive system configurations Drive system components Technology trends Future developments |
|
I look forward to seeing you in August. It will be a great educational experience, and you'll enjoy the picnic and banquet, too! Barnes (Barney) McCormick, Ph.D. | |
