2 History of Rotorcraft Definition of Rotorcraft Any flying machine using rotating wings to provide lift, propulsion, and control that enable vertical flight and hover Rotating wings provide propulsion, but negligible lift and control. Rotating wings provide lift, propulsion, control at same time.
3 History of Rotorcraft Two key configurations developed in parallel Autogiro Close to helicopter, uses many of same mechanical feature Cannot hover Unpowered rotor Helicopter Powered rotor Many configurations have been developed Autogiros flew first! Autogiro innovations enabled development of first helicopters
4 Autogyro How it Works Unpowered Rotor that Spins Due to Wind Blowing Through Rotor Like a Wind Turbine No Need for Anti-Torque Since Not Driven By an Engine Fixed to the Fuselage Lift Relative Wind Thrust Control Surfaces
5 Autogyro How it Works Kind of like parasailing, except rotor provides lift in addition to drag.
6 Helicopter How it Works Powered Rotor Equal and opposite torque applied to rotor acts on fuselage Main Rotor Drive Shaft Rotor Thrust Tail Rotor Thrust Cockpit Tail Boom Landing Skids Engine, Fuel, Transmission, etc. Tail Rotor Controls
7 Helicopter Need for Anti-Torque Engine fixed on body exerts torque on rotor shaft Rotor shaft exerts equal and opposite torque on body Many configurations created around anti-torque problem Autogyros, tip jets, tip propellers, tandem helicopters, tilt wings, tilt rotors, synchcopter -T T
8 Basic Rotor Controls Pitch Bearing Flap and Lag Hinges Pitch Link Rotor Control Servos Swashplate Red = Rotating Blue = Fixed
9 Basic Rotor Controls Cyclic control Changes pitch sinusoidally of all blades around azimuth angle (blade rotation angle) Accomplished by tilting swashplate side to side on gimbal Collective Control Increases/decreases pitch on all blades at all azimuthal locations Accomplished by moving swashplate up and down rotor shaft Blade azimuth angle ψ
10 Key Problems in Early Rotorcraft Development Understanding basic aerodynamics of vertical flight Amount of power to produce fixed amount of lift was unknown First significant application of aerodynamic theory to helicopter rotors came about in the early 1920s Lack of a suitable engine Not until the mid-1920s that engines with sufficient power and with high power to weight ratios suitable for vertical flight became widely available Minimizing weight Early engines made of case iron too heavy! Aluminum not cheap enough for use on aircraft until 1920
11 Key Problems in Early Rotorcraft Development Counteracting rotor torque reaction Tail rotor to counter torque reaction and provide directional control not used on most early designs Igor Sikorsky was the first to successfully use the tail rotor in the single rotor helicopter configuration we know today. Providing stability and control Primary concern was to devise a means of defeating the unequal lift produced on the blades advancing into and retreating from the relative wind when in forward flight Problems overcome only with articulated rotor and cyclic pitch control Conquering high vibrations Vibration was source of many mechanical failures of the rotor and airframe Reflected an insufficient understanding of the dynamic and aerodynamic behavior of rotating-wings
12 History of Rotorcraft
13 Early Concepts Chinese Top 400 B.C.
14 Early Concepts DaVinci Leonardo da Vinci credited with first idea for vertical flight Oversized Archimedes water screw Airscrew consisted of platform with metal helical screw Propellers made of starched linen, frame made of wire Just a sketch
15 Enabling Devices Lomonosov Russian, Mikhail V. Lomonosov Very first self-propelled model of a lifting airscrew flown Coaxial rotor system, spring-driven device Flown freely and climbed to good altitude Intended for lifting thermometers and other instruments into the air
16 Enabling Devices Phillips 1840 s, D Amecourt 1860 s Horatio Phillips, 1840 s Constructed first steam driven vertical flight machine Steam generated by mini-boiler ejected at blade tips First time rotorcraft flew under engine power Ponton D Amecourt, 1860 s Also designed, built, and flew a a number of small steam powered helicopter models Coaxial rotors Pictured on right
17 Enabling Devices Bright Henry Bright, Englishman First helicopter patent granted by the British Patent Office Two counter-rotating coaxial two-bladed rotors Mounted on a vertical shaft
18 Enabling Devices Achenbach Wilheim Achenbach, German Single rotor concept First side thrusting tail rotor to counteract main rotor torque
19 Enabling Devices Forlanini Enrico Forlanini, Italian Steam driven helicopter model, dual counter-rotating propellers Forced superheated steam to a high pressure in a small metal sphere Flew 40 ft for 20 sec
20 Early Contraptions Cornu Paul Cornu, French Bicycle Maker Vertical flight machine carried human off ground for the first time Dual rotor, 24 HP gas engine, belt-driven
21 Early Contraptions Breguet Louis and Jacques Breguet, French Scientists Quad-Rotor gyroplane, 40-hp engine, Briefly carried a pilot off the ground
22 Early Contraptions Sikorsky Igor Sikorsky, Russian Prototype coaxial nonpiloted helicopter Did not fly due to vibration problems and lack of power
23 Early Contraptions Yurev B.N. Yuriev, Russian Developed single main rotor helicopter Included collective pitch, cyclic pitch, and tail rotor Aircraft never flew properly due to lack of power
24 Early Contraptions Ellehammer Jacob Ellehammer, Danish Coaxial rotor helicopter Short blades attached to 2 large circular aluminum rings Top ring like a parachute for failures Aircraft made short hops off the ground
25 Early Contraptions Petroczy 1920 Stephan Petroczy, Austrian, assisted by Theodore Von Karman Build and flew coaxial rotor helicopter Pilot-Observer positioned over the rotors, inflated bags for landing gear Powered by 3 rotary engines Machine only flew tethered to ground
26 Early Contraptions Berliner 1909 to 1920 Emile and Henry Berliner, father and son from United States Developed coaxial and side-by-side rotor helicopters First to observe power required decreases when entering forward flight Side-by-side aircraft: twisted rotor blades Side-by-side aircraft control: Differential shaft tilt, wings in slipstream
27 Early Contraptions Brennan 1920 Louis Brennan, English Single 2 bladed rotor ( needed Rotor driven by propellers on blade tips (no anti-torque Control achieved with servo flaps inboard on rotor Machine flew successfully inside a balloon shed, crashed on Flight 7

29 Early Contraptions Von Baumhauer 1924 A.G. Von Baumhauer, Dutch Single main rotor helicopter Collective pitch, cyclic pitch See-saw teetering rotor Main and tail rotors not connected difficult directional control Machine made several short semi-controlled hops off ground
30 Autogyro First Flight Juan de la Cierva, Spaniard Hinged Blades, standard fixed wing aircraft controls in rotor slipstream Low speed control difficult, lack of dynamic pressure Required about a 50 ft ground run
