Helicopter Test and Evaluation (AIAA Education)
Helicopter Test and Evaluation by cooke, published by Wiley-Blackwell in 2002, is a comprehensive resource that bridges the gap between helicopter aerodynamics theory and practical flight testing. Spanning 388 pages, this book provides an in-depth exploration of rotorborne flight, focusing on the principles of aerodynamics, stability, control, and performance, while detailing methodologies for effective flight test evaluation.
Readers will find a structured approach to understanding the practical aspects of helicopter flight tests, including safety considerations, test planning, and efficient flight execution. The book presents typical test results and draws on the authors’ extensive experience in flight testing and training, making it a valuable reference for professionals in rotorcraft test and evaluation, as well as helicopter pilots, rotorcraft designers, manufacturers, and final-year aeronautical engineering students.
Official synopsis Publisher
Although a number of texts on helicopter aerodynamics have been written, few have explained how the various theories concerning rotorborne flight underpin practical flight test and evaluation. This book combines theoretical information on aerodynamics, stability, control and performance with details of evaluation methodologies and practical guidance on the conduct of helicopter flight tests. For each topic the relevant theory is explained briefly and followed by details of the practical aspects of testing a conventional helicopter. These include: * safety considerations * planning the tests * the most efficient way to conduct individual flights. Where possible typical test results are presented and discussed. The book draws on the authors’ extensive experience in flight test and flight test training and will appeal not only to professionals working in the area of rotorcraft test and evaluation, but also to helicopter pilots, rotorcraft designers and manufacturers and final year undergraduates of aeronautical engineering
