Surface pressure measurements at two tips of a model helicopter rotor in hover [PDF]
Surface pressures were measured near the tip of a hovering single-bladed model helicopter rotor with two tip shapes. The rotor had a constant-chord, untwisted blade with a square, flat tip which could be modified to a body-of-revolution tip.

Dynamic analysis of a pre-and-post ice impacted blade [PDF]
The dynamic characteristics of an engine blade are evaluated under pre-and-post ice impact conditions using the NASA in-house computer code BLASIM. The ice impacts the leading edge of the blade causing severe local damage.
