Variable-speed tail rotors for helicopters with variable-speed main rotors [PDF]
ABSTRACTVariable tail rotor speed is investigated as a method for reducing tail rotor power, and improving helicopter performance. A helicopter model able to predict the main rotor and tail rotor powers is presented, and the flight test data of the UH-60A helicopter is used for validation. The predictions of the main and tail rotor powers are generally

Aeroacoustic analysis of main rotor and tail rotor interaction [PDF]
The increased restrictions placed on helicopter noise levels over recent decades have encouraged\ud manufacturers to better understand tail rotor noise and its aerodynamic sources. A\ud generic single main rotor and tail rotor helicopter has been simulated in high speed forward,\ud and quartering, flight using the Vorticity Transport Model.

CAA modeling of helicopter main rotor in hover [PDF]
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

Application of pressure head theory to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of the helicopter main rotor [PDF]
A method is proposed for calculating main aerodynamic characteristics of the main rotor of the Mi-26 helicopter: a lift, a reactive moment, a required power of the propulsion system, a speed of the inductive air flow, a throttle response coefficient, a ...
