Safety Topics: Helicopter Flight Safety

Abstract

THE problems peculiar to the operation of rotating wing aircraft have always posed additional tasks related to control, vibration and the difficulties of ensuring adequate load paths in the event of a failure. Issues related to these topics in both the civil and military field were addressed at a recent Royal Aeronautical Society Conference which outlined the various factors in helicopter flight safety together with progress in the last few years and the outlook for the future.
