Hi,
I have a very basic question. Theoretically,I need to make a load hover (in real terms I'm makin a heli).
I wanted to do the calculations for how much power is needed by the prime mover (engine/motor doesn matter) to hover. i.e to give thrust(T) = weight of (load+Motor).
Can someone please tell me this equation that relates Power(P) and Thrust(T) at zero velocity i.e hovering.
Dont worry about prop diameter/aerodynamic characteristics etc at this moment. I'm just looking for the minimum power of the prime mover(energy source) to give me the ability to hover a certain weight
Thanks!
