What to expect
Helicopter development embraces transformative concepts like compact unmanned Vertical Take-Offs (VTOLs) and electric propulsion, redefining flight for efficient transportation, especially in critical areas like medical supply delivery. Electric propulsion marks a greener era in urban mobility and aerial transportation.
Engineers face challenges testing these systems, including assessing rotor factors like elongation, vibrations, balancing, and angle of attack. Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) systems add complexity with lightweight structures and swivel-mounted propellers.
Comprehensive testing, utilising sensors like strain gauges and thermocouples, is crucial for helicopter system reliability and performance. Understanding the angle of attack is critical for lift, stability, and control, with modern techniques addressing signal transmission challenges through digitalisation and wireless telemetry systems.
