The Technology of Vertical Flight: Twice as Fast, Twice as Far

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Vertical Flight Society

invites you to

The Technology of Vertical Flight:

Twice as Fast, Twice as Far

a talk by

Dr. Albert Brand

Senior Technical Fellow for Flight Technology
Bell Flight

About the Talk
Rotorcraft engineers must resolve daunting challenges in Performance, Stability and Control, Aerodynamics, and Rotor/Airframe dynamics - all while managing weight, cost, and system requirements.  With multiple rotorcraft currently in development, Bell is the world leader in rotary wing technology, serving both military and commercial customers.  We make the world’s fastest rotorcraft and our commercial operations serve a world-wide fleet on all continents.

About the Speaker
Dr. Brand is Bell’s Sr Technical Fellow for Flight Technology and a Technical Fellow of the Vertical Flight Society.  He will discuss the science and technology of vertical lift and show what the future holds at Bell. His lecture is intended to expose engineers to fundamental principles of rotorcraft design and will explore some of the unique challenges faced in rotary wing aircraft developmen
