Outline |
|
The basic functions of the helicopter are understood in connection with the rotor blade mechanism principle, aerodynamic theory, and flight principle such as hovering. Students will also learn about basic equipment and power system overview, operational issues including noise and flight safety, and mechanisms of abnormal events that occur during operation such as settling with power and loss of tail rotor function.
In this course, you will gain the knowledge necessary to understand the on-site issues related to DP1.

Objectives |
|
The goal of this lecture is to understand the flight characteristics of a helicopter with a unique shape and system, and to know the various devices that make up the helicopter, based on basic knowledge such as aerodynamics related to aircraft.
(1) Explain basic principles of aerodynamic theory, flight principles, stability, and maneuverability of helicopters
(2) Explain outline of mechanical device for flying
(3) Understand and explain the characteristics of the structure, landing gear, etc. that have a different aspect from the fixed wing aircraft

Grading Policy |
|
The result is evaluated based on the regular examination. (100%)
Test results will be returned to each student and the necessary feedback will be given.

| ４． |
Textbook and Reference |
|
There is no textbooks in particular. Materials will be distributed for each lecture.
As a reference book, the following is appropriate:
"Helicopter (New Aviation Engineering Course) (3rd edition)", Y. Sato et al., Japan Aviation Technology Association, ISBN 978-4901215312
In addition, the following two books are recommended to gain an introductory knowledge of general helicopters.
"Illustrated helicopter", H. Suzuki, Kodansha Blue Backs, ISBN 978-4062573467
"The Latest Knowledge of Helicopters", A. Tsubota, Science Eye New Book, ISBN 978-4797353341

| ５． |
Requirements (Assignments) |
|
This lecture has many parts in common with the flight dynamics of fixed wing aircraft. Students who learned “Introduction to Aeronautical Engineering,” and/or “Introduction to Flight Dynamics” are encouraged to refer to or review them.
Please prepare with the materials used in this lecture that will be uploaded on the LMS. (Half an hour)
Depending on the content of the lecture, some task will be asked to submit. Please follow the instructions and submit. (1 hour)
