A study was conducted to identify the optimum blade tip planform for a model-scale active twist rotor. The analysis identified blade tip design traits which simultaneously reduce rotor power of an unactuated rotor while leveraging aeromechanical coup

Publikováno v: Journal of the American Helicopter Society. 57:1-12

An analytical study was conducted examining the feasibility of a swashplateless rotor controlled through two trailing-edge flaps (TEFs), where the cyclic and collective controls were provided by separate TEFs. This analysis included a parametric stud

Acoustic Aspects of Active-Twist Rotor Control

Autor: Matthew L. Wilbur, Earl R. Booth

Publikováno v: Journal of the American Helicopter Society. 49:3-10

The use of an Active Twist Rotor system to provide both vibration reduction and performance enhancement has been explored in recent analytical and experimental studies. Effects of active-twist control on rotor noise, however, had not been determined.
