OTHER: Helicopters - Rotor Disk & Horsepower Specifications:

Hover Flight for single rotor applications is working. Calculations for multiple rotors have some errors.

Vertical Flight and Forward Flight have some errors also

Input for people to obtain calculated data on their own proposed helicopter design specifications.

Output of calculated values for existing helicopters and for previous input on a proposed helicopter design.

These calculations are from 'Momentum Theory' and 'Combined Momentum and Blade Element Theory with Empirical Corrections' from chapter 1 of Helicopter Performance, Stability and Control by Raymond W. Prouty. Additions have been made for helicopters with multiple rotors.

These pages are in support of the Homebuilt helicopter community. If anyone wishes to correct an input value on an existing helicopter (some of which have had to be assumed) or question a calculated value, please e-mail me so these pages can be made as accurate as possible.

~ The data on the above helicopters contains errors. ~

The latest additions contains horsepower calculation errors in;

Momentum Forward Flight, and

Blade Element when used with multiple rotors

Earlier helicopters have even more errors.
