14.56 Helicopter Aerodynamic Theory
14.56.2 Explain how induced drag varies depending on:
(a) angle of attack of the rotor blade;
- Induced drag increases with angle of attack
- At higher angle of attack:
- Rotor produces more lift
- Requires greater downwash and induced flow
- This increases induced drag
