BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NACA PEEW ON ROTATING-WING AIRCRAFT

JULY 1948

By Alfred Gessow

A bibliography of NACA papers on rotating-wing a lqraf t Issued up t o ~ ~ l y 1948 is presented. me list of papers 18 subdivides f o r r e a w reference under appropriate subject headings, and t h e t i t l e s are l i s t e d chronologically within each subject. >.

Direct contact with designere and research workers in the rotating- w i n g f i e l d has indicated the need for the conplete dfssemination of the available technical l i terature. Accordingly, aa an aid in obtaining such material and in order to acquaint the rotating-wing industry and the various government agencies charged x i t h the design, evaluation, and procurement of helicopters with the work done by the NACA in the f ie ld of rotating-wing a i rc raf t , a bibliography of NACA papers issued in that f i e l d is presented herein.

The l ist of papers is subdivided f o r ready reference under a$pro- priate subject headings, and the papers are l isted in reverse chrono- logical order within each subject so that the latest information published by the NACA on that subject can be readily ascertained. In general, each t i t l e is l i s t e d only once under the subject heading that is mst direct ly - applicable. In aome cases, however, a t i t l e is listed more than once, if its interest is important in another f ield.

The papers are l isted under the following subject headinge:

I Aerodynamics of Hovering and Vertical Flight

11 AeroQnmica of Forward Flight

I11 Rotor-Blade Motion and Stall Studies

N Airfoi ls

V Vibration
