After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• understand and apply the aerodynamic and flight physics principles of rotor aircraft.
• characterise the structural conditions, flight behaviour, performance limits and possible uses of rotor aircraft and other hovering aircraft.

Overview over rotor dynamics and aerodynamics, power requirements; Power plants, power train, controls and fuselages of rotorcraft, rotor systems; stability, flight properties, development tendencies for rotor craft

Lecture by talking based to relevant features, combined with projected pictures, printed sheets and drawings.

Intense talking with students about relevant features that were explained during lectures.
