Effect of Blade Tip Configurations on the Performance and Vibration of a Lift-Offset Coaxial Rotor
This present study investigates the effect of blade tip configurations, such as the sweepback angle and anhedral angle, on the performance and hub vibratory loads for the lift-offset coaxial rotor of a 30,000-pound-class high-speed long-range utility ...

Dynamic Modeling and Vibration Characteristics for a High-Speed Aero-Engine Rotor with Blade Off
Blade off that occurs during operation will generate a sudden imbalance excitation and make the rotor become inertially asymmetric, which leads to large instantaneous impact load and induces more complex rotor dynamic phenomena.

Abstract 3D scanning is rapidly becoming a key maintenance tool. Aerospace was a pioneer in adopting 3D scanning technology because aircraft manufacture and maintenance require precision. Monitoring deterioration, removing components for maintenance, and verifying covert operations are not practical or helpful without technology.

Effects of blade section on performance of butterfly wind turbines as double-blade VAWTs
A butterfly wind turbine (BWT) is a kind of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with closed-loop blades. These blades form a double-blade structure, which is expected to improve self-starting properties and reduce energy costs because of their simple ...

Influence of blade aerodynamic model on prediction of helicopter rotor aeroacoustic signatures [PDF]
Brown’s vorticity transport model has been used to investigate how the local blade aerodynamic model influences the quality of the prediction of the high-frequency airloads associated with blade–vortex interactions, and thus the accuracy with which the ...
