Hi guys:
What is the rule of thumb (if any)for main rotor solidity with given disk loading?
Assming i have a 2000 lb helicopter with disk loading of say 4 lb/ft2 (rotor disk area about 500 ft2),how much blades should the rotor have ?
Is there any formula or equation for such calculation?
Thank you in advance.
