Propulsion_Aeromechanics_Integration @SRW

DFRC waves:
~ dynamic and aerodynamic integration of rotorcraft
~ rotors operating at different speeds in hover and cruise
~ variable speed transmission/engine
~ on-blade active rotor control
~ flow control for hub, blades, or engine inlet

Fundamental research waves:
~ the disciplines of propulsion, aeromechanics and acoustics are emphasized
~ the integration of transmission and engine technologies for slowed rotor concepts
~ the ability to predict aeromechanics and acoustics parameters for such a configuration
~ close collaboration between analytical work and experimental methods before, during, and after the wind tunnel experiment
~ the experiment will be designed to acquire data that is required for validation of the prediction of
~ ~ rotor forces,
~ ~ power,
~ ~ rotor blade loads,
~ ~ rotor blade pressures,
~ ~ blade motion,
~ ~ drive system loads and
~ ~ speed change dynamics,
~ ~ engine inlet flow,
~ ~ rotor wake-induced flow and
~ ~ far-field external acoustics
