Design Studies and Model Tests of the Stowed Tilt Rotor Concept. Volume 8. Summary of Structural Design Criteria and Aerodynamic Prediction Techniques

Abstract

The report presents a summary of the technical data from four wind tunnel tests on tilt and stowed rotor performance and fully dynamic models. Blade loads, dynamic stability, performance, rotor/wing interactions, and stability and control data are presented. The impact of the tests on stowed rotor aircraft design are discussed and recommendations for further technical and design work are provided.
