Induced Power

Hi oggers,

Is this what you are searching for?

"Induced Power
Induced Power is that portion of the power required to produce lift. It is the power required to overcome the portion of rotor drag which is caused by the induced flow tilting the total reaction rearwards.
Induced power is the force required to move a mass of air through the disk at the induced velocity.
If T is the rotor thrust (in a hover equal to weight (Mass * G)), which is a force, and this force moves the air at a velocity Vi , Pi = TVi .

Helicopter Power Required
