Flapping to Equality
During the movement of a helicopter rotating blade, the speed of airflow over the advancing blade is more than the retreating blade, resulting in the production of an unequal amount of lift. This is called a dissymmetry of lift. To correct this aerodynamic imbalance, the blades are allowed to perform a series of controlled movements to produce equal amounts of lift. This process of equalization is called flapping to equality.

Simple helicopter simulation to explain the phenomenon of Flapping to Equality.
Press the up or down arrow to increase or decrease the velocity of the helicopter.
The Helicopter on the top right has dissymmetry of lift due to lack of flapping and has a rolling moment.
However, the helicopter on the bottom right has the symmetry of lift due to flapping and has no rolling moment.

Nice Job Done.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteThank you! We are still trying to improve the codes as we speak. Feel free to view the other phenomena as well.
