reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA284093 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Documentation, a program listing, and a users guide are provided for version 2.1 of the FORTRAN 77-based ROTWASH computer program in report appendices. An extensive bibliography of rotorwash related technical documents is also provided. This listing is subdivided into different rotorwash topics. A companion report, entitled Evaluation of Rotorwash Characterisitics for Tiltrotor and Tiltwing Aircraft in Hovering Flight, DOTFAA.RD-9016, evaluates rotorwash characteristics of 11 different types of tiltrotor and tiltwing aircraft for comparison purposes. Another companion report, entitiled Analysis of Rotorwash Effects in Helicopter Mishaps, DOTFAARD-9017, presents an analysis of several of the more common types of rotorwash related helicopter mishaps. Much of the information provided in this second companion report is updated by this report. A third report, DOTFAARD-9025, Rotorwash Computer Model - Users Guide, is replaced by this more comprehensive report and its updated version of the ROTWASH computer program.
