Hi guys :
I understand the induced velocity equation parameters.
it says that it the velocity of the air downwards as result of air disturbance created by rotating blades.
what I don't understand how come this effect goes like this :
The smaller the rotor d the higher the IV
the higher the helicopter the higher the IV
The more the helicopter weighs, the higher the IV.
For the first 2 factors why it is not the opposite?
