Sources for Physics Research Paper on Rotational Blade Motion on Helicopter

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding reliable sources for a research paper about the rotational motion of helicopter blades. The author has completed PHY-200 and plans to reference chapters on rotational motion from the University Physics Volume 1 textbook by OpenStax. Recommendations include using Google Scholar for research articles and specific links to resources such as the FAA's Helicopter Flying Handbook and articles on helicopter rotor systems. The thesis focuses on propeller design and the role of rotational motion in helicopters. The author seeks guidance on additional reading materials to support their research.

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.

Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They ______. a. attract each other. b. repel each other. c. neither attract nor repel. d. the force of attraction or repulsion depends upon the speed of the beams. This is a previous-year-question of CBSE Board 2023. The answer key marks (b) as the right option. I want to know why we are ignoring Coulomb's force?
