Airframe Component Improvement Program
Abstract
This funding supports airframe component improvement which includes development of new rotor blades that will result in significant performance improvement such as gaining an additional 1,500 - 2000 lbs of lift, improving erosion protection, and reducing retreating blade stall. Completes drivetrain improvement studies. Also funds the development of an advanced torque management system to enable more balanced torque split between the forward and aft rotor head.
