| 1. | RHILP [ News ] | | | In WP2 the partners have analyzed the specific phenomena of a tilt-rotor (wing down-load, fountain flow effect, ground effect...). Simplified modelling of these phenomena has been developed for off-line and real time simulations.... | | | | 2. | RHILP [ tbd ] | | | Simplified models have been developed for both off line and real time calculations concerning the interaction phenomena between the rotors and the wing of a Tiltrotor in hover and low speed flight :The direct impact of the rotor flow on the wing which is the main cause of the wing download ,. The fountain flow effect due to the spanwise flow over the wing that increases both the wing download and the rotor induced velocity ,. | | | | 3. | RHILP [ tbd ] | | | The tests have been conducted, using a powered model for three different configurations : an isolated rotor, used to measure performance characteristics with zero and non-zero forward speeds ; a half-span model (starboard side) with one rotor, a nacelle, a half-span wing and a half-fuselage set on an image plane : this configuration has been used for hover and forward flight tests ; a rotor + wing model with one rotor, a nacelle and a half-span wing, used to investigate the effect of the fountain flow phenomena on rotor performance and on wing download (through comparison with half-span tests).... | | | | 4. | RHILP [ tbd ] | | | The more interesting results concern the wing download.... | | |
