Hi all,
I'm in the process of building composite rotor blades for an existing helicopter. I know all the aircraft particulars (gross weight, engine hp etc) and know about the existing metal rotor blades but I'm in need of assistance and insight into the conversion from metal to composite. Obviously, the
composite blades will weigh much less and I'm at a loss as to how I can get the weight right, center of gravity, center of pressure etc. to work out. Any help would be appreciated.
