Abstract:

The ADST ARWA Study Comparing Approaches to Modeling the ARWA Main Rotor provides details of technical approaches for both a Blade Element Model and a Rotor Disk Model to simulate the flying qualities of the ARWA Simulation System. A background of aeromodelling and discussion of the technical and cost merits for both approaches is provided.
