I know the lift force equation is .5*rho*V^2*Area*Coefficient. But I was wondering in the real world how would you measure the lift force? I hope they don't just plug the values for the equations.
You could do this simply with a spring scale and something to constrain the rotor group to the scale and something to drive it. It is even easier if you have a strain gauge based force transducer because then there would be no axial movement due to the thrust.I was wondering like if you are building your own helicopter what would someone use to test the amount of thrust produced by the rotor?
To test it, you mount it on a test rig and measure the forces.I was wondering like if you are building your own helicopter what would someone use to test the amount of thrust produced by the rotor?
Look at the dates on the posts. This thread has been dead for more than 4 years. It's not surprising the links don't work any more.actually im new here. so pls help to guide me :)
