Normal component of induced velocity for entire field of a uniformly loaded lifting rotor with highly swept wake as determined by electromagnetic analog (open access)

Normal component of induced velocity for entire field of a uniformly loaded lifting rotor with highly swept wake as determined by electromagnetic analog

Report presenting values of the nondimensional normal component of induced velocity throughout the flow field of a uniformly loaded lifting rotor operating in the upper half of the helicopter speed range in the form of graphs and tables. The results obtained should be useful for estimating the induced velocity distribution about lifting rotors in general and for synthesizing the distributions over the rotor disk for the case of any specified non-uniform loading.
