A Circulation Controlled Rotor Blade.

Abstract

A circulation controlled rotor blade is described which reduces rotor flutter by introducing a laminar flow over the trailing edge. A trailing edge structure has a deformable tube to control a spanwise slot formed by the juxtaposition of an upper trailing edge lip over the deformable tube. The laminar flow is created by compressed fluid directed through the rotor blade and through the slot.
