Abstract: 
Rotor blades of helicopters must be stiff and strong enough to maintain structural loads within working limits. The rotating cycles change the aerodynamic and structural stresses created by the blade revolution. In this project, you will discover the structural stresses of the blades as well as the vibration frequencies studied using the Ansys programme, taking into consideration environmental consequences. This material was tested utilising Kevlar 49, carbon-epoxy, and advanced carbon fibre composite materials and found to be a lightweight, high-strength, and long-lasting material. Solidworks software was used to create the design.
