Tiltrotors permit aircrafts to operate vertically with lift, yet convert to ordinary forward flight with thrust. The challenge is to design a tiltrotor blade yielding maximum lift and thrust that converts smoothly without losing integrity or efficiency. ...

The accurate prediction of helicopter rotor aerodynamics and aeroacoustics using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques still remains a challenge, as the over-dissipation of numerical schemes results in a higher diffusive rate of rotor wake and vo...

The numerical assessment of T-tail flutter requires a nonlinear description of the structural deformations when the unsteady aerodynamic forces comprise terms from lifting surface roll motion. For linear flutter, a linear deformation description of the v...

In stator?rotor interaction studies on axial turbines, the attention is commonly focused on the unsteady rotor aerodynamics resulting from the periodic perturbations induced by the stator flow structures. Conversely, less interest has been historically a...

Integrating a fan with a boundary layer ingestion (BLI) configuration into an aircraft fuselage can improve propulsion efficiency by utilizing the lower momentum airflow in the boundary layer developed due to the surface drag of the fuselage. As a conseq...
