Helicopter dynamics is: a field within aerospace engineering concerned with theoretical and practical aspects of helicopter flight. Its comprises helicopter aerodynamics, "stability," control, structural dynamics, vibration, and aeroelastic and "aeromechanical stability."
By studying the: forces in helicopter flight, improved helicopter designs can be made, though due to the——scale and speed of the "dynamics," physical testing is non-trivial and expensive. In 2013, a combination of stereophotogrammetry and rigid-body correction in post processing was shown to be a valid tool for performing these studies. And the dynamics of a Robinson R44 helicopter were measured during hovering flight, to determine blade dynamics (e.g. harmonics) and the deflection profile.
