This research investigates ways to reduce drag from helicopter rotor hubs, which significantly contributes to overall drag and emissions. It involves designing a scale model for wind tunnel testing to gather data on aerodynamic characteristics and identify drag reduction techniques.
A major source of helicopter drag, about 30% of the total, is from the rotor hub.
It is important that the drag generated by a helicopter, and hence emissions, is reduced.
This research programme is to be undertaken to investigate this subject and investigate potential techniques to achieve reductions in hub drag. A wind tunnel test programme is to be carried out to provide a large, high-quality experimental data set. A 5 bladed scale helicopter model is to be designed and manufactured.
