Interactional aerodynamics and acoustics of a hingeless coaxial helicopter with an auxiliary propeller in forward flight [PDF]
The aerodynamics and acoustics of a generic coaxial helicopter with a stiff main rotor system and a tail- mounted propulsor are investigated using Brown's Vorticity Transport Model.

Numerical study of the unsteady aerodynamics of helicopter rotor aerofoils
A two-dimensional model of the aerodynamics of rotor blades in forward flight is proposed in which the motion of the blade is represented by periodical variations of the freestrearn velocity and incidence. A novel implicit methodology for the solution

Experimental and numerical research of the influence of thrust vector control on the missile aerodynamics by cold and hot jet simulations [PDF]
The flow field phenomena that occur as a result of thrust vector control (TVC) system activity on a missile with lateral jets are very complex and influence all other components of the missile.

Unsteady flow behaviour of multi-rotors in ground proximity
The unsteady flow behaviour of two side-by-side rotors in ground proximity is experimentally investigated. The rotors induce a velocity distribution interacting with the ground causing the radial expansion of the rotor wakes.

On the use of load-transformation matrices when working with internal wind tunnel balances [PDF]
Internal wind tunnel balances are often classified by the design as 'force', 'moment' or 'direct-read' balances. Only the direct-read balances can immediately yield the total loads; with other designs, balance-type-specific transformations of actually ...

An experimental study of unsteady vehicle aerodynamics [PDF]
The transient response of a vehicle to a wind disturbance is of importance to car drivers since low level inputs can result in poor vehicle refinement, and extreme effects can result in path deviation. This paper investigates the use of an oscillating aerofoil gust generator to simulate the transient aerodynamic effects produced on
