Smart Blade Count Selection to Align Modal Propagation Angle with Stator Stagger Angle for Low-Noise Ducted Fan Designs

open access: yesAerospace
The rotor–stator interaction noise is a major source of fan noise. Especially for low-speed fan stages, the tonal component is typically a dominant noise source.

Results of the noise measurement program on a standard and modified OH-6A helicopter [PDF]

open access: yes
A field noise measurement program has been conducted on a standard OH-6A helicopter and one that had been modified by reducing the rotor speed, altering rotor tip shape, and treating the engine exhaust and inlet to reduce the external noise levels.

Output‐Feedback H∞$$ {H}_{\infty } $$ Detector‐Based Control of Continuous‐Time Markov Jump Lur'e Systems With Sector‐Bound Optimization

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the problem of dynamic output‐feedback H∞$$ {H}_{\infty } $$ detector‐based control for continuous‐time Markov Jump Lur'e Systems with uncertain transition rate matrices. In contrast to conventional approaches, the proposed synthesis conditions are derived using Finsler's lemma, introducing additional slack variables to ...

Blade planform for a quiet helicopter [PDF]

open access: yes
The effects of blade planform and tip speed on noise and performance for a Hughes 500 C rotor system were studied. A cursory examination of the effects of such planform shapes as regular, inverse, and no taper on the noise and performance of the rotor ...

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

A Quiet Helicopter for Air Taxi Operations [PDF]

open access: yes
NASA is exploring rotorcraft designs for VTOL air taxi operations, also known as urban air mobility (UAM) or on-demand mobility (ODM) applications. Several concept vehicles have been developed, intended to focus and guide NASA research activities in ...

Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...

Evaluation of the annoyance due to helicopter rotor noise [PDF]

open access: yes
A program was conducted in which 25 test subjects adjusted the levels of various helicopter rotor spectra until the combination of the harmonic noise and a broadband background noise was judged equally annoying as a higher level of the same broadband ...
