Basic book on helicopter theory
Basic book on helicopter theory
(OP)
Hello all,
Can someone tell me if there is any really basic book on helicopter theory ? I was trying to understand concepts like 2/rev, 4/rev vibratory load variation/response and all that. There was no clear introduction of small things like this in books of Leishman and even Johnson too. I am really in need of a basic book on all of this. Can someone suggest one ?
I have an OK background in structural dynamics and solid mechanics, BTW.
Thanks,
aeroaero

I will watch for your comments on that book. Surprisingly, very few books explain stuff figuratively while it is necessary for a complicated subject like helicopter theory. It's become simply hard to imagine many of those things having had no formal class in it.

Nice to know that you got the Shapiro's book. I think I will also order it from Alibris.com.
