- Content
-
The aerodynamic design requirements for tilt rotor blades are reviewed and the selection of the distribution of chord, twist, and airfoil to maximize the rotor performance characteristics are discussed. The design procedure is illustrated by the development of the definition of the replacement blades for the XV-15 tilt rotor aircraft.
