At the 2:00 minute mark you misspoke concerning the horizontal flow on the forward half of the disc and the vertical flow on the aft half of the disc. You said the flow was horizontal on both halves of the disc. I know this is a little picky but might throw a newbie for a loop. I knew what you meant. Great series on helio basics.

@timothyparker98897 жыл бұрын
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding some concepts but my understanding is that a smaller AOA increases the lift. So, there is more lift from the aft rotors due to a smaller AOA than in the front. Induced flow and lift drops towards zero in the front of the rotor system and increases in the rear and causes AOA in the front to increase and decrease in the back. Wouldn't the increase in vertical, downward airflow explained around 2:00 cause more lift in the rear rotors? Could anyone explain where I'm becoming confused?
@helicopterlessonsin10minut107 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment timothy. I believe the confusion comes from your understanding of Angle of Attack. This angle is an arrow dynamic angle that forms between the Chord Line and the Resultant Relative Wind. This gets into the basics of how airfoils create lift using Bernoulli's principle, the Venturi effect, and Newtons 3 laws (which I plan on discussing in a later video). Simply put, is airflow is accelerated faster over the top of the airfoil than the bottom, a low-pressure area forms above the airfoil. This pressure differential combined with the action-reaction of the downwards deflection of air "lifts" the airfoil up. Therefore, the greater the Angle of Attack (a.k.a. the more pronounced effect these forces have), the greater the Lift. When you have a more vertical, downward airflow with no change to Angle of Incidence, your Angle of Attack will be reduced because of the greater Induced Flow. The reason the Angle of Attack is reduced is because the downward flow of air adjusts the Resultant Relative Wind (the wind that results from the Rotational Relative Wind and all upflow/downflow velocities). Simply put, less Angle of Attack means less lift on that specific portion of the airfoil.

Hi Jacob! What about the effects of blow back on the right roll tendency. Thanks for your time and effort. Great job !
@helicopterlessonsin10minut107 жыл бұрын
David Wallace. Although the initial onset of Blowback takes place at roughly the same time as Transverse Flow Effect, Blowback is actually caused by the flapping up of the advancing blade as the helicopter compensates for Dissymmetry of Lift. As the advancing blade flaps up, Gyroscopic Precession causes this to manifest 90 degrees later as a pitching up of the nose. I explain how how all these forces affect the takeoff in more detail in my video Aerodynamics of a Takeoff (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGTMhnptjNmnsJI). Thanks for watching!

I’ll add Vmin to the list. Short answer is that a helicopter could be operating at max gross weight or environmentally limited to the point where it can’t hover. But if it can roll down a runway for a takeoff it can still fly as long as it stays above VMin which is the minimum airspeed to maintain flight.

In the compensation for dissymetry of lift video you said at about 1.00 that the dissymetry will cause a left roll, and there you didnt consider the 90deg advancement effect due to precession which would cause a pitching up motion instead of left roll as you said). There I was wondering why you did that. In this video you have done it. I am confused.

I don't understand why the angle of the downwash would change if the rotor disk is all tilted at one single angle. Wouldn't the air more from horizontal to vertical at the same angle on the entire rotor disk, with the only difference being that the change in angle will occur later at the aft portion of the helicopter? (AKA the air hits the front before it hits the back, but the change in the angle of flow would still be the same.) What exactly is causing the air to dive more vertically at the aft portion of the helicopter compared to the front?
@helicopterlessonsin10minut105 жыл бұрын
Great question. The air over the aft portion of the disk has had more time to be influenced by downwash. At the front of the disk it’s clean, undisturbed air. But the further back you go, the air has had more time to be influenced and changed by downward flowing air.

If a larger angle of attack and lift in the front of the blade manifests 90 degrees later, then why isnt the same thing true for the collectiv inputs??? - Collective is doing the same thing of changing the angle of attack so the cyclic should be 90 degree off set, so in order to pitch forward I would have to increase lift on the left side so it will manifest in the back 90 after... (in a ccw rotating system)... ???????????

Is the front half getting a more horizantal airflow and the back half less due to cyclic feathering? I think of a disk and it being a flat plane, tilted it still exposes the surface of the disk at the same angle to the airflow. So the only thing I can think of is the due to coning and feathering the aft half is not in the same flat plane across the disk. Yay or Nay?
@helicopterlessonsin10minut106 жыл бұрын
T Phillips. The rear half is more vertical because there is more time/distance for induced flow to be pronounced. The airflow starts fairly horizontal and is pulled downwards through the disk as the helicopter moves forward. By the time the air gets to the back half of the disk the velocity of air is no longer horizontal. It's not a product of cyclic feathering but a product of change in Resultant Relative Wind on the airfoil as a result of increased induced flow. I hope this helps answer your question.

Yunsong Li. I'd have to disagree. During 10-20 knots there is a substantial difference in airflow on the front half and rear half of the rotor disk. This is the case even despite flapping. Because of gyroscopic Precession, this manifests as a right roll / drift when transitioning through these air speeds.

Yet another wrong diagram. The disc isn't flat. The rotors are coning up, and when this is tilted forward to fly, the front blade receives air that is more horizontal, and the rear blade receives more vertical (induced flow) air. Simple diagrams might help some people, but they perpetuate disinformation.
