A complex rotorcraft model system has been developed by the NASA Langley Research Center and the U.S. Army Air Mobility R&D Laboratory, Langley Directorate, for aerodynamic and acoustic experimental investigations in the NASA Langley V/STOL tunnel. This generalized rotor model system has a powered main rotor, tail rotor, and auxiliary engine capability. It may be configured to represent a variety of rotorcraft configurations. The first investigation was conducted to determine the performance, acoustic, stability and control characteristics of the NASA/Army Rotor Systems Research Aircraft with an articulated rotor. In a second investigation, a quarter-scale AH-1G configuration with a teetering rotor is being represented to determine if a V-tail will improve the directional characteristics. Future programs are planned to investigate advanced rotor blade airfoils for improved performance and acoustic characteristics.
