Technology. Comrotag: One step closer to the smart helicopter

Brussels, Belgium - Under examination systems of flaps of Gurney deployed in the rotor blades, with the promise of higher speeds and lower noise

CORDIS (Community Research and Development Information Service) reported today a Polish study on the active-flow-control systems in rotor blades of a helicopter and on how these can adapt their aerodynamic properties to air flow conditions. EU-funded researchers have developed a computational method for implementing such innovative systems, promising higher speed and lower noise. The COMROTAG (Development...
