Helicopter Blade Material: What Are Helicopter Blades Made Of?

The engineering behind helicopter rotor blades represents one of aviation’s most demanding material science challenges. These components must withstand tremendous centrifugal forces, constant vibration, and fatigue cycles that would destroy most conventional materials within hours. Understanding what goes into modern…
