Abstract

The early phase of helicopter development, until about the end of Second World War, was characterized by the technical realization of individual components (for example, rotor, flight control, engine), by developing theoretical fundamentals (such as aerodynamics, rotor dynamics), and by the search for suitable configurations of the new flying device. The rapid further developments during the following decades led to higher speeds, improved maneuverability, enhanced efficiency, and at the same time to numerous ideas of exploiting the versatile applicability of this flying device. It became more difficult for pilots to fly the mostly unstable helicopter since the desire for better flying qualities was often subordinated to the demands for higher flight performance and more complex missions. This was particularly evident during instrument flying under poor visual and adverse weather conditions.
