Stokkermans, T.C.A. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author), Soemarwoto, Bambang (author), Fukari, Raphaël (author), Eglin, Paul (author)Auxiliary lift and/or thrust on a compound helicopter can introduce complex aerodynamic interactions between the auxiliary lift and thrust components and the main rotor. In this study high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics analyses were performed to capture the various aerodynamic interactions which are occurring for the Airbus RACER...journal article 2020

Stokkermans, T.C.A. (author), Soemarwoto, Bambang (author), Voskuijl, M. (author), Fukari, Raphaël (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author), Eglin, Paul (author)Installation effects of the lateral rotors for a compound helicopter were investigated by means of unsteady CFD simulations. The helicopter featured a box-wing design for additional lift in cruise and wingtip-mounted lateral rotors in pusher configuration for additional thrust in cruise and counter-torque in hover. It was found that propeller...journal article 2018
