WEIGHT
Normally, weight is thought of as being a known, fixed value, such as the weight of the helicopter, fuel, and occupants. To lift the helicopter off the ground vertically, the rotor system must generate enough lift to overcome or offset the total weight of the helicopter and its occupants. This is accomplished by increasing the pitch angle of the main rotor blades.
The weight of the helicopter can also be influenced by aerodynamic loads. When you bank a helicopter while maintaining a constant altitude, the “G” load or load factor increases. Load factor is the ratio of the load supported by the main rotor system to the actual weight of the helicopter and its contents. In steady-state flight, the helicopter has a load factor of one, which means the main rotor system is supporting the actual total weight of the helicopter. If you increase the bank angle to 60°, while still maintaining a constant altitude, the load factor increases to two. In this case, the main rotor system has to support twice the weight of the helicopter and its contents. [Figure 2-11]
Disc loading of a helicopter is the ratio of weight to the total main rotor disc area, and is determined by dividing the total helicopter weight by the rotor disc area, which is the area swept by the blades of a rotor. Disc area can be found by using the span of one rotor blade as the radius of a circle and then determining the area the blades encompass during a complete rotation. As the helicopter is maneuvered, disc loading changes. The higher the loading, the more power you need to maintain rotor speed.

Steady-State Flight—A condition when an aircraft is in straight-and-level, unaccelerated flight, and all forces are in balance.

THRUST
Thrust, like lift, is generated by the rotation of the main rotor system. In a helicopter, thrust can be forward, rearward, sideward, or vertical. The resultant of lift and thrust determines the direction of movement of the helicopter.
The solidity ratio is the ratio of the total rotor blade area, which is the combined area of all the main rotor blades, to the total rotor disc area. This ratio provides a means to measure the potential for a rotor system to provide thrust.
The tail rotor also produces thrust. The amount of thrust is variable through the use of the antitorque pedals and is used to control the helicopter’s yaw.

DRAG
The force that resists the movement of a helicopter through the air and is produced when lift is developed is called drag. Drag always acts parallel to the relative wind. Total drag is composed of three types of drag: profile, induced, and parasite.
PROFILE DRAG
Profile drag develops from the frictional resistance of the blades passing through the air. It does not change significantly with the airfoil’s angle of attack, but increases moderately when airspeed increases. Profile drag is composed of form drag and skin friction.
