Abstract
This work describes the development of a test bench that allows for a complete assessment of the aerodynamic characteristics and the acoustic emissions of a rotor in flight-like operating conditions. The rotor is named TUC-TUC, after the TU delft Characterization model for roTor aeroacoUstiCs. Its design is driven by the ability of precisely control its configuration and load distribution while facilitating a holistic set of aeroacoustic measurement techniques to take place. The design rationale, technical developments, experimental plans, estimated performance and noise emissions are shown in this study.
