Designing High‐Performance, Manufacturing‐Friendly Rotor Blades for Micro Wind Turbines via Cambered Plate Airfoil Optimization

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Conventional methods for manufacturing rotor blades, such as composite construction and die casting, are hindered by high costs due to expensive molds, while 3D printing often results in poor quality or high production costs with unfavorable cost‐per‐part scaling.

Wind Tunnel Test of Counter‐Rotating Dual Rotor Wind Turbine With Double Rotational Armature Design

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the performance of a counter‐rotating dual rotor wind turbine (CR‐DRWT) with 2 m2 rotor radius equipped with a double rotational armature in an open jet wind tunnel. With only one similar‐sized design previously assessed in a wind tunnel, this study offers valuable validation material for the literature.

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

Helicopter far-field acoustic levels as a function of reduced main-rotor advancing blade-tip Mach number [PDF]

open access: yes
During the design of a helicopter, the weight, engine, rotor speed, and rotor geometry are given significant attention when considering the specific operations for which the helicopter will be used. However, the noise radiated from the helicopter and its

Aerodynamic Performance Investigation of a Biomimetic‐Based Small‐Scale Horizontal‐Axis Wind Turbine: An Experimental Analysis

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT As the demand for power increases, installing small‐scale wind turbines can be an alternative solution. However, the main challenge for their implementation is the aerodynamic noise. With a view to minimizing noise, this study focuses on the performance investigation of a small‐scale horizontal‐axis wind turbine with NACA 4412 blades inspired ...

CAA Modeling of Helicopter Main Rotor in Hover [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this work rotor aeroacoustics in hover is considered. Farfield observers are used and the nearfield flow parameters are obtained using the in house HMB and commercial Fluent CFD codes (identical hexa-grids are used for both solvers). Farfield noise at
