This textbook is a multi-disciplinary compendium that includes several aspects of rotorcraft technology. It introduces the reader to the aerodynamic aspects of rotary wings and presents experimental techniques for aerodynamics. The chapters also cover rotorcraft engines and rotorcraft steady-state flight performance and stability. It explores several aspects of the tiltrotor configuration and lists challenges in their design, modelling and simulation. The reader will also find an introductory overview of flight control systems for rotorcraft, as well as the conceptual and preliminary design concepts for a conventional helicopter. This textbook contains video recordings of computer simulations that can be used alongside the main text.

Antonio Filippone is a Professor at the School of Engineering, University of Manchester, working in aircraft and rotorcraft performance, environmental emissions, aircraft noise, and aero-engine propulsion. George Barakos is a Professor at the School of Engineering, Glasgow University, working in high-fidelity aerodynamics and aero-acoustics models, computational fluid dynamics, high-performance computing and rotorcraft engineering.
