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

Interesting question. I recently went to the library but could not find a book I took out many years ago and I think the title was "The Principles Of Helicopter Engineering" by Jacob Shapiro, circa the 1950s. I have now ordered this book from a used book place on the internet and should have it in a few days and find out if it is the one I think it is. The book I am speaking of had many great diagrams of swash plates and control linkage and seemed to me to be a real treasure trove but it may be so old that libraries have thrown it out. I am paying $33 for this gamble and sure hope I am right. I'll try to remember to drop another note here in a few days with my results. 字串5

Hi jplot,
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.

I second the vote for Shapiro's book. I have a few others, but the illustrations in Shapiro put it a step above the other "reference texts". One place that may have it is "Alibris.com", but there are other used book sellers on the net that you could try.

I got my book and it is what I had hoped for. Four hundred and some pages of nothing but helicopter. It is the best book on helicopters that I have ever come across and I am delighted to have it on my shelf. A lot of math that I can not cope with but also a lot of diagrams of parts and they are excellant for copying or taking pictures of. I got this book from a firm on the internet named Alibris.com that apparently deals in older used books. 字串6
