AI Thread Summary

The calculation of thrust force exerted by helicopter rotor blades on the air does not have a closed-form solution. It requires an iterative approach to accurately determine the thrust. Users are encouraged to utilize the search function for previous discussions on this topic. This question has been raised multiple times in the forum. Understanding the iterative nature of the calculation is essential for accurate results.

We have had this question several times before. Please use the search function. Also, there is no closed form solution to calculate the thrust on a rotor blade. It requires an iterative loop.

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/

Thread 'Radiation Hard Electronic Design for LVO Long Mission'

Venus does not have a magnetosphere, so the Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) environment shall be much worse than in a LEO environment. Looking to the std radiation models for Venus, the standard radiation-hard space level electronic component with tested immunity LET = 85 MeV-cm2/mg seems not enough, so, for example, a 1cm2 Si die will suffer considerable flux above this level during a long mission (10 years for example). So, the question is, usually we are not paying attention to latch-up...
