Aeromechanics and Aeroelasticity of Future Air Vehicle Platforms
Abstract
Establish improved experimentally validated modeling tools and methodologies that can be used to understand the physics of aeroelastic stability and design in next generation rotorcraft platform configurations for FVL platforms. This involves the development of an experimental capability, (TRAST), which will be used to generate novel experimental data. This data will be used to increase fundamental understanding of the whirl flutter instability, which currently limits the high speed performance of tiltrotor rotorcraft. This effort will inform FVL requirement definition and technology maturation. This effort also establishes low noise rotor concepts and investigates the intersection of artificial intelligence and classical mechanics to enable novel mechanics and new approaches in structural dynamics for FVL applications to enable higher Operating Tempo (OPTEMPO) operations.
