This ebook, written by helicopter expert RW Prouty, offers a comprehensive and advanced understanding of helicopter aerodynamics beyond what is typically taught in basic private pilot programs. It is a curated collection of Prouty's thought-provoking columns from 1992 to 2004 in Rotor & Wing and American Helicopter Society's Vertiflite magazines. With extensive experience in the industry, Prouty has been a valuable contributor to the field through his publications, lectures, and global teaching. He has been recognized for his notable achievements in rotary wing aeronautics, receiving the prestigious Alexander Klemin Award in 2000 from the American Helicopter Association. Prouty's impressive career spans decades and includes top positions at Hughes Tool Co.'s Aircraft Division, Sikorsky Aircraft, Bell Helicopter, Lockheed Aircraft, and Hughes Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Co.). He holds a Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Washington.
