Description:
Several problems related to the aeroelastic/aerodynamic optimization of a high speed helicopter compound rotor are discussed. The helicopter fuselage vibration problem, the effects of fuselage vibrations, the source of external and periodic air loads, typical airfoil environments and configurations, rotor dynamics, vibration reduction, and requirements for the rotor design optimization analysis are among the topics covered.
