Helicopter Aerodynamics #1

For helicopter pilots wanting a more advanced understanding of helicopter flight than what is typically taught in basic private pilot programs.

This is a collection of Ray Prouty’s columns from Rotor and Wing magazine from 1979 to 1992 dealing with advanced helicopter skills and advanced helicopter designs.

Ray W. Prouty is a Grand Elder of the helicopter industry. For many years, Ray brought the black art of helicopter aerodynamics into a refreshing new light for the readers of Rotor & Wing International magazine.
