Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on sourcing reliable materials for a research paper on the rotational motion of helicopter blades. The user, currently studying for an associate's degree in science, plans to reference chapters 10 and 11 from the "University Physics Volume 1" textbook by OpenStax. Recommended resources include arxiv.org for academic papers, Google Scholar for research articles, and specific links to documents such as the FAA's Helicopter Flying Handbook and articles on helicopter rotor systems from Skybrary.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of rotational motion principles in physics
  • Familiarity with academic research databases like arxiv.org and Google Scholar
  • Knowledge of helicopter mechanics and design
  • Basic proficiency in using online academic resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Helicopter rotor systems configuration" on Skybrary
  • Explore the "Helicopter Flying Handbook" from the FAA for practical insights
  • Utilize Google Scholar to find peer-reviewed articles on rotational motion
  • Investigate propeller design principles in aviation engineering literature
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, aviation enthusiasts, and researchers focusing on helicopter design and rotational dynamics.

TL;DR Summary: I am writing a research paper on the rotational motion of the blades of a helicopter. Does anyone know of any good reliable sources for articles, videos, or research papers on this topic?

Hi!
I am writing a research paper on the rotational motion of the blades of a helicopter. I have just started studying for my associate's in science degree and have completed PHY-200. I used the University Physics Volume 1 textbook by OpenStax. I plan to utilize chapters 10 and 11 in my paper since those chapters are related to rotational motion, along with other chapters that have rotation in them. Does anyone know of any good reliable sources for articles, videos, or research papers on this topic? I was told about arxiv.org. This is the first physics research paper I've had to write. This is my thesis (I am still working on it): "My proof, not experiment, is an examination of propeller design in helicopters and reasons behind the choices made; and how rotational motion is involved in this."
Basically, I want to write about helicopters and rotational motion but have no idea what to read for this.
Thank you!
If I didn't explain my question well, please tell me. :)

Welcome to PF.

Often when you want to focus your search on research articles and similar sources, you can use Google Scholar for the search. You can see the search I did in the screenshot below -- maybe try that search to get you started, and you can refine your Google Scholar search as you get closer to what you are looking for.
