See Sokol, that's why you should read Prouty ... and some NACA papers ...
Well, thanks fo that advice. As my mayor is in turbofan engines I couldīnt think of reading about it.

However: Thanks for literature recommendation.

I don't really see a problem with wind tunnels.
The problem occurs simply in scale....

At the same downwash speed, the heavier ship will fall faster into or through VRS. Is it that what you mean?
The thing is only the point and time you are referring to. The downwash referred to the environment is higher on the heavier helo after an infinitessimal short time period after inducing the same controls on both helos.

In that case, that would be obvious.
Not for a man that only refers to the environment 3 times during layout. And thought (honestly) first about an magnetofluid like behavior.

Blade load or disc load is more or less the same thing.
Interesting. If I do build an helo with 2 Blades and an helo with 5 Blades of the same shape as the 2 bladed one, that changes nothing.

Who knows, if this brings us any further.
Thanks for that document. I have to read firstly through it, looks a bit like a bernoulli-based calculation, well I think Navier stokes would be more appropriate since the lift isīnt equal over the diameter.
