Support to the aerodynamic analysis and design of propellers of a compound helicopter

Topic description

Scope:

The selected partner is asked to compute with CFD method the performance (power and thrust as function of pitch angle, airspeed and speed of rotation) and aerodynamic control loads of propellers of a compound helicopter. Local parameters (angles of attack, airspeed Mach number) as function of radius and chord will be analyzed.  Please refer for the full and formal topic description to Annex III of the Clean Sky 2 Work Plan 2014-2015 Amendment nr. 1  Version 3 (see under the tab "Topic Conditions and Documents")
