Study and Evaluation of Directed Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic Helicopter Tail Rotor Assembly

Abstract

The results of study and evaluation of a new design concept for helicopter tail rotors are reported. The evaluation was conducted by means of a whirl test which included separate runs at full pitch (19 deg), overspeed to 110% rpm, and simulated forward flight to 105 knots.
