Abstract

An enhanced performance rotorcraft rotor blade system and methods are presented. A rotor blade comprises an inboard blade portion, and at least one controllable surface coupled to the inboard blade portion. The at least one controllable surface is operable to improve a lift of the inboard blade portion by altering an angle of attack of the inboard blade portion independent of the rotor blade.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to flow over fluid dynamic surfaces. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to enhancing fluid dynamic properties of flow over a fluid dynamic surface. Background technique [0002] When the helicopter reaches its maximum forward speed, the helicopter has a forward speed limitation primarily due to the "backward blade stall" blades and this forward speed limitation further results in a "backward blade stall". If the retreating blade stalls and does not generate sufficient lift, non-optimal aerodynamic operating conditions for the helicopter may result. Contents of the invention [0003] The present invention discloses an enhanced performance rotorcraft rotor blade system and method. The rotor blade includes an inboard blade portion and at least one controllable surface coupled to the inboard blade portion. The controllable surface is operable to increase the lift of th...
