Structural optimization of composite helicopter rotor blades

open access: yes, 2020
Structural optimization of a helicopter rotor blade with uniform aerodynamic surface and twist at the functional region is performed for weight minimization subject to various constraints relevant to helicopter rotor blades. The genetic algorithm based optimization is performed only for the functional region of the blade.

Model helicopter rotor high-speed impulsive noise: Measured acoustics and blade pressures [PDF]

open access: yes
A 1/17-scale research model of the AH-1 series helicopter main rotor was tested. Model-rotor acoustic and simultaneous blade pressure data were recorded at high speeds where full-scale helicopter high-speed impulsive noise levels are known to be dominant.
