Abstract
The traditional Lock number for lifting rotors is recast in terms of a different set of parameters. This new formulation, while not changing the basic definition of the Lock number, gives additional physical insight into the design variables that influence this number. The new formulation
enables one to better understand why Lock numbers fall into the range they do. The fundamental basis of the Lock number is studied for 33 rotors, ranging in size from the main rotor of the CH-53E (with seven blades and a diameter of 79 ft) down to the tail rotor of the Robinson R22 Beta (with
two blades and a diameter of 3.5 ft).
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Helicopter Society is a peer-reviewed technical journal published quarterly (January, April, July and October) by AHS — The Vertical Flight Society. It is the world''s only scientific journal dedicated to vertical flight technology and is available in print and online.
The Journal publishes original technical papers dealing with theory and practice of vertical flight. The Journal seeks to foster the exchange of significant new ideas and information about helicopters and V/STOL aircraft. The scope of the Journal covers the full range of research, analysis, design, manufacturing, test, operations, and support. A constantly growing list of specialty areas is included within that scope. These range from the classical specialties like aerodynamic, dynamics and structures to more recent priorities such as acoustics, materials and signature reduction and to operational issues such as design criteria, safety and reliability. (Note: semi- and nontechnical articles of more general interest reporting current events or experiences should be sent to the VFS magazine
