    Description: The purpose of this Note is to present results from an analytic/experimental study that investigated the potential for passively changing blade twist through the use of extension-twist coupling. A set of composite model rotor blades was manufactured from existing blade molds for a low-twist metal helicopter rotor blade, with a view toward establishing a preliminary proof concept for extension-twist-coupled rotor blades. Data were obtained in hover for both a ballasted and unballasted blade configuration in sea-level atmospheric conditions. Test data were compared with results obtained from a geometrically nonlinear analysis of a detailed finite element model of the rotor blade developed in MSC/NASTRAN.

    Description: This study demonstrated the feasibility of passive blade twist control for composite rotor blades. Hover testing of the set of blades produced maximum twist changes of 2.54 degrees for the unballasted blade configuration and 5.24 degrees for the ballasted blade configuration. These results compared well with those obtained from a detailed finite element analysis model of the rotor blade, which yielded maximum twists of 3.02 and 5.61 degrees for the unballasted and ballasted blade configurations, respectively.

    Description: The feasibility of passive blade twist control using an extension-twist-coupled composite rotor blade design has been demonstrated. A set of low-twist model-scale helicopter rotor blades has been manufactured from existing molds with the objective of demonstrating this control concept. Hover testing of the set of blades demonstrated maximum twist changes of 5.24 deg for the ballasted blade configuration, and 2.54 deg for the unballasted configurations in the atmospheric test condition. These results compared well with those obtained from a detailed FEM analysis of the rotor blade. Aerodynamic-induced effects on the blade elastic twist were found to be minimal.
