ROTOR LOADS
In the pitch link load surraary curve (Figure 32), all the data fall
within a load band about 20 pounds In width. From Figure 6 it could be
Inferred that 10 pounds of this band could be data scatter. In light
of the above situation, It can oal> be concluded that:
3. All data fall within a fairly constant width band and there-
fore none of the configuration variations caused gross charges in the
basic pitch link load trend with velocity.
In both the FST and TOT t^sts, the second flap bending frequencies of
the rotor blades which were tested were near 3P« This proximity in a
three-blade rotor system is certain to result in higher vibration
levels than would have bee., measured had this characteristic been
designed out of the rotor system. Plots of the uncoupled blade bending
freiuencios versus rotor r.p.m. ax« given on pages h6 and li7. However,
since vibration in a helicopter body is singly the body response to the
oscillating loads generated by the rotor, it can be assumed that reduc-
tions In the oscillating loads generated by the rotor should yield am
iiig>rovement in helicopter vibration levels. It is believed, therefore,
that the substantial reduction in oscillating chord loads demonstrated
by the matched blade rotor configurations represents a potential
ijq>rovement in helicopter vibration levels.
STABILITY
This program has shown that the matched blade or possibly reduced chord
stiffness type of rigid rotor has substantially lower gyro size and
much lower oscillating chordwlse loads than the coupled (or chord-stiff)
type of rigid rotor. The matched rotor configurations tested vere not
optimum or even near optimum designs for two reasons. First, the
reiulrement for many types of geometry and stiffness variation required
rather unusual hub and blade designs. Second, the high solidity per
blade resulted in large blade chords and therefore very large aero-
dynamic control forces, A practical helicopter of such high solidity
would undoubtedly utilize a larger number of blades of smaller chord.
Lowering the chord quickly reduces the level of blade stiffness far
below those tested in this program.
The fuselage, control gyro, and rotor disc make up a convenient concep-
tual!- atlon of the system. The fuselage provl ies a means of describing
the displacements emd ^.^-ular motions of the helicopter and in partic-
ular, for the case of static behavior, the an^le of attack of the hell-
copter. The control gyro and the rotor disc provide convenient concep-
tuallzatlors of the feathering motion and the flapping and In-plane
elastic defornetlons of the rotor blades, respectively. Cyclic flapping
of the blades depicts the pitch and roll of the rotor disc, while
collective flapping describes the vertical translation. Blade motions
In the plane of the rotor disc are consistent with collective and cyclic
in-plane motions.
It is postulated that moment inputs into the control gyro result from
feathering and elastic doforratlon of the blades. F\ vhernore, the
linkage between the blades and the control gyro is such that rooraents
about the blade feathering axis arc reacted by the control gyro. All
other moments developed in the blade system are reacted by the rotor
mast. The linkage which transmits the moment into the control gyro is
described in terms of the cant angle, defined aa the arlnut* angle
between the blade fentherlng axis and its attachment point to the
control gyro; and Jie gear ratio, defined as the ratio of blade feather-
ing angle to control gyro angle. nubsetuent discussion of the control
gyro eiuilibrlum ejuation is divided into (l) raoner.ts resulting fron
blade feathering notion and (. ) gyro raoments resulting from elastic
deformation of the blades.

(B) STATIC gTABILITY OF THE WHO TUNNEL NDDEL
The static stability of a wind tunnel model Is not the same as the
stability of the full scale vehicle since the model Is restrained in
several degrees of freedom. While an unrestrained helicopter can be
very stable in forward flight, a wind tunnel model can be unstable.
Destabilizing are:
The relatively light model support springs that vere used gave suffi-
cient pitch stiffness to provide static stability < ven with the control
gyro locked out. ,—<--=-
22
correction or autonatlc control will provide a large deBtabllltlng
contribution to the longitudinal stability of the helicopter. The
remaining contributions to static longitudinal stability will result
from rotor thrust variation with angle of attack (with the e.g. aft of
the thrust axis), rotor drag variation with angle of attack (with the
rotor above the e.g.), moment contributions of the fuselage, horizontal
tall forces producing body pitching oanents, and reaction forces from
the support system In the case of our model (see page ♦5).
The analysis made on a simple flve-degree-of-freedan dec.ilptlon for the
gyro-free ca«e shoned that the model was statically stable for the con-
figuration analyzed. These solutions, carried only to 100 miles per hour,
are not presented since more significant results can be obtained
directly from the test data.
The test result» show that all configurations tested In the full-scale
tunnel tests with the control gyro locked or free were statically
stable. Since the spring rate iT the codel support was known to be U6U
In-lb s/degree, a measure of the static stability of these configurations
has been obtained.
Transonic dynamics tunnel tests were made with the gyro control fnte with
the saae support spring rate of h6k ln-lbs/degree for C durations A
through L. Model support springs were changed for Con. juratlon M to
larger values as shown In Figure 13, page £5, to reduce observed response
amplitudes of the model. While testing Configuration M at a simulated
speed of 2kO miles per hour, the electrcnechanlcal actuator used to
position the model pitching attitude parted, thus leaving the model
coarpletely free in pitJi (see page 65). The model began to pitch nose
up very slowly, which subsequently led to failure of the model support.
This test result shows that this configuration was slightly statically
unstable at this speed in the absence of sooe pitch stiffness fron the
model support.
In sumiary, the static stability of the test coaTigu rat ions was not a
serious problem area. It is possible to mechanically support the model
with limit «tops which unload the rotor when contacted. Such a support
was utilized In the TDT tests; however, warning lights indicated that
the stops had not contacted during the test runs.

(j DYNAMIC OTABILITY ANALYSIS, HOVTyiyG
The basic data used in the analysis are presented in Reference 3* For
convenience, the results of the analysis with connents are suonarized in
Table 2. As cam be seen from it, the test configurations are stable for
the entire test program except for the very low to marginally damped
26
In-plane bending modes, which essentially are due to the exclusion of
the structural damping involved in the in-plane bending modes and the
undamped body roll response mode in the hard hub, hard drag link,
and low gyro Inertia configuration. The latter configuration was not
tested.

*♦. Tunnel velocity - except In the low-epeed txmnsltlon region.
The eensltirity to changes in tunnel "q" we.« very low.
Control o'' the model was exercised by one or tvo "model operators" in
addition to one man who controlled the model motor settings and mon-
i to^ed rotor TM, and another person who controlled the wind tunnel
"q". The "model ooerator" controlled the model pitchmp attitude,
collective oitch, and model oitch and roll trim in addition to moni-
toring thrust, drar, and pyro pitch and roll attitudes. The
operational procedure was as follows:
1. Bring the rotor up to operating speed.
2. Bring the tunnel up to the desired speed.
3. Adjust the aodel attitu*« and collective pitch to give the thrust
and drag desired (noraally 1 "g" lift and zero drag).
5. Record the 1 "g" data fro» the balance and the aodel
ins truaentat 1 on.
6. Without changing collective pitch, decrease aodel attitude until
lift is .5 "g", drag Is not tero, and tria pitch and roll are
tero. Record the .5 "g" data.
7. Again without changing collective pitch, increase the
attitude until lift is 1.3 V and record the data.
8. Repeat for 2.0 "g"; then repeat steps 2. through 7« for the next
higher tunnel speed.
At each data point recorded in the ?3T, oscillograph data records were
taken with the gyro both locked and unlocked. Since locking appeared to
aake no appreciable difference in the data, only gyro-unlocked data were
taken in the TOT.
The trisaed gyro-locked condition is equivalent to a conventional swaah-
plat«, which suggests that this reported data is applicable to a non-
gyro-controlled rigid-rotor helicopter. When exsaining helicopter char-
acteristics which involve deforaatien of the rotor syste», this conclu-
sion appears to be valid.
However, the aodel was tested while being supported through * systea of
springs which allowed only lialted travel of the fueelags rigid body
degrees of freedoa. These restrictions and the fact that Froude nafeer
was not «etched by the present scaling do not allow a coe^arison of
55
frt«-fllght vehicle eharacterlatlci to be made between the «wMhplet«
and gyro-controlled helicopter from these test results. Section V
discusses the aodel properties and •laailatlc-.
56
B. TEST WE3ULTS AND DISCUSSION
As a result of the above coos ide rat ions, the vibration data offer a basis
for ccmrparison of relative merits of configurations rather than supplying
actual vibration levels.
In order that data may be presented more reliably vith respect to load
factors, cross plots of data versus model attitude vere made (Figures 35
through kk and 6l through 69), and values of data at desired load factors
vere determined through faired curves dravn through rav data.

Drag llrvk and pitch link loads versufl model velocity for various load
factors are Riven for Configurations A through H In Figures 2U through 3^
Although these oscillating loads vere principally first haraonlc, the
pea o pea va^gg y^y^ been plotted vilch represent the total oscil-
lating loads.
Drag link loads vary linearly with load factor and are approxiamtely zero
at zero load factor. Figure 33 reports TDT drag link load data where
good correlation with FGT data Is observed.
Pitch link load« appear to be independent of blade sweep and hub flap
stiffness (Figure Ug) and drag link stiffness (Figure U-'). With the
exception of the fiberglass blade, which showed higher loads at 25 miles
per hour, all the configurationß show very close to the same pitch link
loads at r5 miles per hour and are within jl5 per cent at 10'' miles per
hour (Figures U5, kj, and W). Approxinmte linear variation of pitch
link loads vlth load factors is exhibited In Figures 50 and 51.
Pitch link load data for Configurations L and M in the TDT were reduced
using the calibration of 7 ^y, since the 13 Nfey calibration appears to
be in error. To account for the difference in blade ©TO ratios between
TDT and FST data, the TDT pitch link loads were multiplied b. 1.23
'Figure 33). ^ood correlation with FST data is al»o shown for pitch link
load data in this figure.
In order to obtain data for a compound helicopter, the model was tested
at 0.5g In the TDT at high speeds (Figure 33). The highest slmilated
speed achieved was ?Uo miles per hour. These tests were terminated
because of model mount failure. The model has now been repaired and a
follow-on study Is In progress.
During the wind tunnel testing, four Incidents occurred which caused
varying degrees of daamge to the model.
62
pitching moment Indicator continued *o show near-zero pitching moment
while the model was actually pitching nose up. This Incident emphasizes
the Importance of maintaining pitch and roll trim of the model and thus
the dependence of this type of testing on the morasnt readout system.
After this occarence s second, adjustable, nose-up stop was Installed in
the model with a warning light to show If the model was near or on the
stop. This provided a redundant indication of gross pitching raonent.
The location of the new stop was well forward of the center of lift of
the roto~. Thus, when the model pitches up and rontacta tm» stop, the
Inrrease in thrust that accompanies the Increased angle of attack will
rotate the model nose down about the pitch stop.
Damage in this Incident, shown In Figure 22, was confined to the tail
cone, blade tips, and the removable doubler plates used to vary- hub flap-
ping stiffness. The hub Itself was not damaged.
Z. Glass Blade Failure - After all of the basic fiberglass blade Conflg-
uratlon E tests were completed, an attempt was made to use these blades
for the "soft hub" configuration tests. Shortly after the tunnel was
started, the ^3 blade failed at Station 22 and separated from the model.
The cause of this failure was poor design of the blade in that a large
change in chordwlse stiffness and, therefore, a stress concentration
existed at the point of failure. This weakness was aggravated by opera-
tion for sereral minutes at the blade first chord natural frequency while
in the process of determining blade frequencies. The fiberglass "D" spar
failed progressively toward the leading ed^e starting at the forward end
of the first inh aard trailing edge slot. This threw the chon* load into
the steel "I" spar, which was never Intended to be able to carry an appr»
clable chord load. The "I" spar fatigue failed In bending and departed
radially, shredding the fiberglass "D" spar and trailing edge as it left.
The blade stub is shown in Figure 23« The resulting 5000-pound rotating
unbalance resulted in considerable minor damage to the body shell and
Instrumentation as well as bending one spindle of the hub. The hub was
straightened, magnafluxed and uced through the remainder of the program.
3. Model Power Loss - While Configuration K was being run in the TDT at
"4" of hO p.s.f. in a 1.0 "g" drag triamed (nose down) condition, the
power supply to the rotor drive motors failed. The rotor decelerated to
less than one-half noraal RPM almost instantly. The model pitched
nose down and rolled left bard against the stop. Tunnel " 1" was cut, the
model collective pitch was reduced and the model was nosed up in attitude.
However, the mode} was badly out of trim In roll; and as the rotor con-
tinued to slow down, the upper surface of the *3 blade buckled due to
excessive up-bending loads between Station 19 and Station 25. This
Incident emphasizes the danger inherent in any sudden change which
affects pitch and roll trim beyond the capability of the operator to
retrim. No other damage was found as a result of this incident.
