Optimal Active Twist Deployment Schedule of a Rotor for Performance Improvement and Vibration Reduction

Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 72nd Annual Forum, 2016
In this paper, the best actuation schedules exploiting various waveform types are sought taking advantage of the global search algorithm for the reduction of the power required and/or hub vibration of a rotor in high speed forward flight.

Standardization of Rotorcraft Guidelines for Quantitative Risk Assessment

Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 72nd Annual Forum, 2016
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) uses Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) to accurately predict future risk by first analyzing the risk without corrective action (uncorrected risk), and then analyzing the risk with specific mitigating actions ...

Development of an Active Spinal Support System for Reducing Lumbar Loading from Body Borne Equipment

Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 72nd Annual Forum, 2016
The weight of equipment bearing on the upper torso of soldiers and aviators has increased substantially over the past several decades. This increased weight of torso-supported equipment can significantly increase the chances of acute injuries during ...
