ASA Principles Of Helicopter Flight

ASA Principles of Helicopter Flight is a Second Edition softcover textbook by Walter J. Wagtendonk, written to explain helicopter aerodynamics and operational principles in a clear, structured format.

The book covers the aerodynamic factors associated with rotor stalls, mast bumping and wind effects, together with manoeuvring flight including hovering, forward flight, flare and autorotation. It also addresses helicopter design and components, performance, weight and balance, take-offs and landings, sloping-surface operations, sling operations, mountain flying and helicopter icing.

This edition includes additional discussion of NOTAR systems, strakes, airspeed and high-altitude operations. Chapter quizzes and a multiple-choice practice examination support review of helicopter aerodynamics and operational knowledge.
