Rotorwash Analysis Handbook. Volume 2. Appendixes

Abstract

Documentation, a program listing, and a user's guide are provided for version 2.1 of the FORTRAN 77-based ROTWASH computer program in report appendices. An extensive bibliography of rotorwash related technical documents is also provided. This listing is subdivided into different rotorwash topics. A companion report, entitled Evaluation of Rotorwash Characterisitics for Tiltrotor and Tiltwing Aircraft in Hovering Flight, DOT/FAA.RD-90/16, evaluates rotorwash characteristics of 11 different types of tiltrotor and tiltwing aircraft for comparison purposes. Another companion report, entitiled Analysis of Rotorwash Effects in Helicopter Mishaps, DOT/FAA/RD-90/17, presents an analysis of several of the more common types of rotorwash related helicopter mishaps. Much of the information provided in this second companion report is updated by this report. A third report, DOT/FAA/RD-90/25, Rotorwash Computer Model - User's Guide, is replaced by this more comprehensive report and its updated version of the ROTWASH computer program.
