Book Effect on Helicopter Performance of Modifications in Profile drag Characteristics of Rotor blade Airfoil Sections

Download or read book Effect on Helicopter Performance of Modifications in Profile drag Characteristics of Rotor blade Airfoil Sections written by F. B. Gustafson and published by . This book was released on 1944 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: Performance calculations are presented for a typical helicopter rotor in which three types of airfoil section were successively used. The types represented are the rough conventional, the smooth conventional, and the laminar-flow or low-drag sections as developed for helicopter use. The performance items covered are rotor thrust for fixed power in hovering, range and endurance at cruising speed, and power required at a relatively high forward speed. Contours showing the conditions of operation encountered by the blade section and weighting curves showing the relative importance of the various section angles of attack for specified flight conditions are included as an aid in the interpretation of the results. The calculations indicated that the use of a smooth conventional section will result in marked performance gains throughout the flight range. Definite, though smaller, additional gains in take-off weight and in range and endurance may be realized by the use of a low-drag section. At high forward speeds or at moderate forward speeds and high loadings, however, losses are indicated for the low-drag sections in contrast with the smooth conventional sections. It is demonstrated that, if these losses are to be avoided, the low-drag sections must be designed to avoid the extreme rise in drag coefficient at the higher angles of attack which is characteristic of the low-drag sections now available for use in helicopters.

Book Wind Tunnel Evaluation of a Model Helicopter Main Rotor Blade With Slotted Airfoils at the Tip

Download or read book Wind Tunnel Evaluation of a Model Helicopter Main Rotor Blade With Slotted Airfoils at the Tip written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data for rotors using unconventional airfoils are of interest to permit an evaluation of this technology's capability to meet the U.S. Army's need for increased helicopter mission effectiveness and improved safety and survivability. Thus, an experimental investigation was conducted in the Langley Transonic Dynamics Tunnel (TDT) to evaluate the effect of using slotted airfoils in the rotor blade tip region (85 to 100 percent radius) on rotor aerodynamic performance and loads. Four rotor configurations were tested in forward flight at advance ratios from 0.15 to 0.45 and in hover in-ground effect. The hover tip Mach number was 0.627, which is representative of a design point of 4000-ft geometric altitude and a temperature of 95 degrees F. The baseline rotor configuration had a conventional single element airfoil in the tip region. A second rotor configuration had a forward-slotted airfoil with a -6 degrees slat, a third configuration had a forward-slotted airfoil with a -10 degrees slat, and a fourth configuration had an aft-slotted airfoil with a 3 degrees flap (trailing edge down). The results of this investigation indicate that the -6 degrees slat configuration offers some performance and loads benefits over the other three configurations.
