Description

Includes bibliographical references (p. 38).An investigation was conducted in the Langley full-scale tunnel to study the aerodynamics that produce directional-control problems for a helicopter with a tail rotor in low-speed rearward flight in ground effect. A helicopter model mounted close to the tunnel floor was tested in tail winds from 0 to 25 knots.
