SUMMARY

The formula for calculating static thrust (T) in relation to RPM is defined as T = ct * 0.5 * ρ * v² * S, where ct represents the thrust coefficient, ρ is the air density, v is the velocity, and S is the rotor blade area. This equation assumes fixed parameters such as angle of attack and rotor blade area. Understanding this relationship is crucial for accurately predicting thrust output in rotorcraft applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of rotor dynamics and aerodynamics
  • Familiarity with thrust coefficients (ct)
  • Knowledge of air density (ρ) and its impact on thrust calculations
  • Basic principles of fluid mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the impact of varying thrust coefficients (ct) on rotor performance
  • Learn about the effects of air density (ρ) at different altitudes on thrust calculations
  • Explore advanced rotor blade design techniques to optimize thrust
  • Study the relationship between angle of attack and rotor efficiency
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, rotorcraft designers, and anyone involved in the optimization of rotor performance and thrust calculations.

i want to know the relation between thrust/rpm. what is the formula to calculate it?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You can't directly calculate thrust if all you know is RPMs.
 
If angle of attack and area of rotor blade is fixed how can i calculate it. could you please tell me the calculation of it for fixed parameters.
 
T=ct half row v square s
