Abstract
In this paper, the finite-state helicopter rotor inflow modes have been studied based on eigenanalysis. The inflow velocity mode shapes with node lines have been displayed with various skew angles. The eigenvalues are highly coupled especially for higher skew angles, and the mode shapes change significantly for different angles. The changing of eigenvalues with different harmonic numbers is also exhibited in the tables for axial flow of both the Peters-He and Morillo dynamic inflow models. An easy way to estimate the eigenvalues of the Peters-He inflow model is also established.
