The Journal of the American Helicopter Society

General Information

The AHS Journal, a peer-reviewed technical journal published quarterly (January, April, July and October) by the American Helicopter Society. Please see below for subscription information.

Scope

The Journal of the American Helicopter Society publishes original technical papers dealing with theory and practice of vertical flight. The Journal seeks to foster the exchange of significant new ideas and information about helicopters and V/STOL aircraft. The Scope of the Journal covers the full range of research, analysis, design, manufacturing, test, operations, and support. A constantly growing list of specialty areas is included within that scope. These range from the classical specialties like aerodynamic performance, dynamics and structures to more recent priorities such as acoustics, composite materials and signature reduction and to operational issues such as design criteria, safety and reliability. Semi- and nontechnical articles of more general interest reporting current events or experiences should be sent to the AHS magazine Vertiflite.

General Requirements for Journal Contributors

The editor welcomes manuscripts and papers presented at the AHS Annual Forum, AHS Specialists' Meetings, the European Rotorcraft Forum, and other conferences. Papers should report significant information and be written in a style appropriate for an archive publication. Acceptance will be judged on technical quality, relevance and importance of material, interest to reader, and timeliness. Papers must be prepared according to instructions for authors and will be submitted to a rigorous technical review by the appropriate AHS Technical Committee. Authors may be requested to make revisions in accordance with the reviewers' comments. Short manuscripts describing important new results of limited scope may be submitted for informal review by the editor for publication as technical notes. Comments on previous Journal articles as well as opinions on AHS technical or editorial policy are welcome and will be considered.

AHS LaTeX Templates AHS Word Templates This template is to be used for the Journal of the American Helicopter Society and should not be modified or changed for another purpose.

Templates are provided for authors in two formats: Microsoft Word and LaTeX. The style documents are called "ahs-sample.doc" (Word) and "ahs-sample.tex" (LaTeX). The LaTeX document uses the accompanying style file "ahs.cls". Authors should note that one of these templates MUST be used for final submission of manuscripts to the AHS Journal but only AFTER peer review, author revision, and editorial acceptance phases have been completed. The Associate Editor will inform the author when to provide the final manuscript in this form. The AHS also encourages the use of these templates for the initial submission of manuscripts to the Journal, but this is not a requirement. These style documents are written in a form that is consistent with the Manuscript Specification documents of the AHS Journal. Further details on manuscript formatting and styles can be found in the files "ahs-sample.pdf".
