The resulting airfoils were then analyzed using a Navier-Stokes CFD code, and compared to the design code and the test data. The resulting airfoils were wind tunnel tested and provided validation for the method showing its strengths and weaknesses. The use of a multi-point design optimization method was coupled with a traditional conformal mapping technique. A newly emerging method of using a variable camber distribution is described.

These limitations must be appreciated to avoid costly design mistakes.ĪB - This paper describes the design of two series of rotorcraft airfoils for a heavy lift helicopter and a heavy lift tiltrotor. The results of this work demonstrate a method for design of heavy lift rotorcraft and the limitations of computational models to capture trailing edge separation.
