Rotor blade wing / Mohd. Mozehan Zainal and Denni Pusin

Human power helicopter has been researched for a long time. Many have taken up the challenge of achieving flight in a human powered helicopter. The past failures and victories give us some ideas to researching deeply on how to increase its performance by analyzing the mechanical design. In this project, one section of rotor blade wing of Human Powered Helicopter known as DAE-11 has been selected. The scope of the project is to fabricate a section of the rotor blade wing from scratch. This includes fabrication of airfoil, spar and styrene foam trimming besides assembling them to make a wing. In addition, properties of the wing such as weight, center of gravity and mass moment of inertia was calculated. The basic engineering elements needed in the design phase ranges from the knowledge of aircraft structure, static, fluid mechanic and aerodynamic. The plans and the drawing are sketched using AutoCAD software while calculations was performed using Microsoft Excel.
