Course detail: Fundamentals of V/STOL Rotorcraft - ONLINE
Description
This course will present key aspects of vertical flight and rotorcraft challenges through a review of their historical evolution, basic principles and enabling technologies. It will cover the fundamental principles underlying rotorcraft flight, flight performance, rotor limitations, configurations and conceptual design. Emphasis is placed on relating rotorcraft aerodynamics to airplane aerodynamics for those making the transition.
Highlights
When this course is offered online for open enrollment delivery, it meets for 9 live-online sessions held 2 times per week (Mondays and Wednesdays) for 3 hours. All live sessions are recorded and made available online the following day.
For in-house training, contact us at professionalprograms@ku.edu for your custom scheduling needs.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for engineers, engineering managers, pilots, administrators and educators who are involved in rotary wing design, testing, evaluation or other technical aspects. The course is also suitable for entry- through intermediate-level students, engineers and pilots who are new to the industry.

Highlights
- Practical understanding of how rotorcraft evolved and differences with fixed-wing
- The technologies that were needed to bring the industry to its current level, and those needed for continued evolution and growth
- Basic procedures to estimate rotorcraft flight performance, and understand rotor limitations
- Vertical/ Short Takeoff & Landing (V/STOL) configurations, attributes and limitations
- Overview of the design process and introduction to conceptual design, with case studies to illustrate how different configurations compare
