Question 1
During forward flight in a single-rotor helicopter, what aerodynamic phenomenon causes the advancing blade to produce more lift than the retreating blade if uncompensated?
Correct Answer:
Dissymmetry of lift
Question 2
How does a semi-rigid teetering main rotor hub compensate for dissymmetry of lift in forward flight?
Correct Answer:
Teetering action allowing one blade to flap up while the opposite blade flaps down
Question 3
What is the phase angle delay between the point of maximum cyclic control input and the resulting maximum blade deflection in a typical main rotor system?
Correct Answer:
90 degrees
Question 4
Which vertical airflow regions exist across the main rotor disc during a steady state, autorotative descent?
Correct Answer:
Stall region, driving region, and driven (propeller) region
Question 5
What causes the Coriolis effect (conservation of angular momentum) on an articulated rotor blade when it flaps upward?
Correct Answer:
The blade's center of gravity moves closer to the axis of rotation, causing it to lead forward
