Contribution to Analysis of Rotor Hub Drag Reduction (CARD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

"A major source of helicopter drag, about 30% of the total, is from the rotor hub. It is important that the drag generated by a helicopter, and hence emissions, is reduced. This research programme is to be undertaken to investigate this subject and investigate potential techniques to achieve reductions in hub drag. A wind tunnel test programme is to be carried out to provide a large, high-quali ...

Industrialisation of High-Order Methods – A Top-Down Approach (IDIHOM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"The proposed IDIHOM project is motivated by the increasing demand of the European aerospace industries to advance their CFD-aided design procedure and analysis by using accurate and fast numerical methods, so-called high-order methods. They will be assessed and improved in a top-down approach by utilising industrially relevant complex test cases, so-called application challenges in the general ar ...

Control and Alleviation of Loads in Advanced Regional Turbo Fan Configurations (CLAReT)

Start date: Jan 28, 2012, End date: Sep 27, 2013,

A novel adaptive winglet concept will be developed to enable controlled cant angle orientation and twist throughout the flight envelope whilst also providing a passive gust loads alleviation capability. A CFD based aerodynamic design of the device applied on a baseline Turbo-Fan Aircraft configuration model will be undertaken, followed by a preliminary lay-out definition of the structure and actu ...

INNOVATIVE DESIGN OF HUBS AND PROPELLERS (IDOHAP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"The IDOHAP proposal is for the detailed design of two CROR models to be installed on an existing wind tunnel test rig. Each model to comprise a pair of hubs and associated propeller blades. This work will be achieved using design engineers experienced in the design of complex wind tunnel models and associated test rigs, using the Catia V5 (V16) software package. These model designs are required f ...
