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.[1]

By studying the forces in helicopter flight, improved helicopter designs can be made. In 2013, stereophotogrammetry was used to measure the dynamics of a Robinson R44 helicopter during the hover.[2]
