Abstract
A history of development of various cycloidal rotors used as aircraft propellers is presented. The operating principle of a cycloidal rotor with a swinging blade is described. Differentpapers on this issue are reviewed, quantitative data are summarized and analyzed, and the most important parameters affecting the characteristics of a cycloidal rotor with a swinging blade are identified. Optimal values of the main parameters for improving the characteristics of a CR with a swinging blade are obtained. A method for the engineering evaluation of the thrustof a cycloidal rotor with a swinging blade is proposed
