Abstract

Equations and procedures are presented for numerically determining the aerodynamic characteristics of lifting rotors. The equations are general and can account for stall and compressibility effects, as well as variations in hub and blade configurations, that are normally omitted from conventional analytical rotor treatments. The application of the method to solution by automatic computing machines is discussed.
