Lift produced ata hover must be equal the
total weightof the helicopter. Angle of
attackis the same OGE and IGE.

2 OGE: HIGHER VELOCITY, GREATER
INDUCED FLOW, LARGER TIP
VORTICIES, MORE POWER. THEANGLE
OF ATTACK REMAINS THE SAME FOR
IGE / OGE. THE ANGLE OF INCIDENCE
IS GREATER IN OGETO OFFSET MORE
INDUCED FLOW.
Using the upward flow of air past the
rotors to turn the rotor system,
‘The phenomenon ofthe advancing blade

‘The tendency for single rotor helicopters to
driftin the direction of tail rotor thrust,
‘The unequal lift aeross the rotor ise that
occurs in forward light due tothe
difference in airflow over the advancing

Lateral-rolling tendency that requires a
pivot point, rolling motion, and exceeding

A stall that begins ator near the tip of the
blade and works inboard.
- Condition in which helicopter descends
into its own downwash, Induced flow at the
inner portion of the blade begins to move
upward, causing a vortex ring state to
develop.

lower surfaces of the airfoil combined with
