ENGINE AND WHIRL TESTS, XV-9A HOT CYCLE RESEARCH AIRCRAFT

Abstract

A summary of engine and whirl testing of the rotor and power module portion of the XV-9A is presented. The results of engine testing include operation of two gas generators into a common exhaust duct with transient power conditions. Rotor whirl test results of the hot cycle rotor used on the XV-9A are reported and include functional check-out, performance evaluation and structural evaluation. Results of testing of a jet-reaction yaw control valve are included.
