Helicopter Lift: Equations, Torque & RPMs

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding helicopter lift equations, torque produced by the main rotor, and the relationship between rotor RPM and lift. Participants note that there is no simple equation for these calculations and suggest that users experiment with the tail rotor to achieve desired results. The difference between propeller and helicopter blades in terms of thrust and lift is also mentioned, highlighting the complexity of the topic. An introductory book on helicopter aerodynamics is recommended for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of the relevant formulas. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the intricate nature of helicopter dynamics and the need for further study.

Helicopter lift...

can i know the helicopter lift equation, torque produced in the main rotor,rpm variation with the tail and main rotor?
 
Physics news on Phys.org


There is no simple equation of the form you are asking.
 


can i know the difference between propeller blades, helicopter blades and their thrust and lift variation...
 


Again, what russ said.
 


can i know the calculaiton for the torque produced in the main rotor of the helicopter? and counter torque that has to be given to the tail rotor?
Note:- i am using a 12v motor
 


That is going to be beyond the scope of what you're able to do (based on your posts). Just play around with the tail rotor until you get it to work.
 


Hi.

This is my first post,
Can anybody help me to under stand the total lift force required to fly the helicopter ...
What is the effect of Rotor RPM on that......
 


Did you not read the very first reply by Russ?
 


Looks like a language problem. But try this
