Braunschweig/Göttingen

Investigation of Rotor Blades
Titelbild Fluglärmprognose Bild1
Aircraft Noise Research
The department Helicopters develops solutions for the fluid mechanical optimization of helicopters, and contributes significantly to the reduction of traffic noise by the development and application of noise prediction tools.

Activities of the department

  • Flow Analysis and Performance Assessment for Pitching Rotor Blade Airfoils
  • Dynamic Stall on Rotor Blades
  • Investigation of the Rotor Tip Vortices
  • Flow Control on Helicopter Rotor Blade Airfoils
        
  • Prediction of Noise Immission
