Hueyman Posted December 21, 2022 Posted December 21, 2022 Awesome release guys ! But come on ED ! You forgot the blade twist on the Ka-50 as you did in the Hind ... you did a great job on the Apache though. Must be pretty easy to fix Thanks 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] CPL(A)IR ME/SEP/MEP/SET - CPL(H)
AeriaGloria Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Do we know how much twist it’s supposed to have? Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
Hueyman Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 I don't know the exact value, but any blade always have to have a twist, except some smaller tail rotors as they needto provide thrust in both directions. But sure they have the maintenance and technical manuals where they can get the info. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] CPL(A)IR ME/SEP/MEP/SET - CPL(H)

orbiter28 Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 In the instrument of the ka-50 in the cookpit, you have the rotor blade angle. Can it help ?

That is rotor pitch, not wash out/twist where the pitch of the blade changes along its length Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

Can it help ? twist in a rotor blade or a propeller blade is the entire blade twisting along its axis via the shank due to drag created from the created thrust. the leading edge of the blade tends to thrust up or forward (or aft if it has thrust reversers) increasing the blades angle of attack in and of itself.

This is not why rotor blades have a twist. Like an airplane's wings, rotor blades produce lift across the entire length of the airfoil; however unlike the wings on airplanes, the relative airspeed across the length of the rotor blade is not uniform due to the different rotational circumference. The outer tips produce more lift since they are operating in higher airflow velocities than the inboard portions near the rotor blade root. This is why rotor blades are designed with a blade twist. This creates a higher angle of incidence for the inner portions of the airfoil, allowing the inboard portions to generate more lift. This twist distributes the lifting force more uniformly across the rotor blade span, reduces internal blade stress, and increases the blade loading near the inboard section of the blade. 1 1 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.
