slowrotor,

Wow. Not an easy question.

This is the list of books.
__________________________

'Machinery's Handbook' is an obvious one, which you probably have.

'Helicopter Theory' by Wayne Johnson has over 1,000 pages of mathematics and it is very economically priced.

A Preview of an Analytical Guide to Helicopter Transmission Design ~ 56 page paper by Kaman,1972 ~ was available on the Internet.

'Mechanical Design and Description ~ Rotary Wing Aircraft Handbooks and History '~ Vol, 8 ~ Dated 1954 from the United States Department of Commerce - Office of Technical Services ~ is a good simple book but is possibly not available.

I found that the greatest problem was trying to determine what the life and safety factors should be for rotorcraft. When working on the SynchroLite, I even partially reverse-engineered the transmissions of the Mini-500 and the Ultrasport.

The little SynchroLite was taken to the point of building the craft. You should be able to dig a reasonable amount of information out of its web pages, but remember that they are my, unqualifed, calculations.
