Numerical and Experimental Investigation into the Aerodynamic Benefits of Rotorcraft Formation Flight

Abstract: The use of formation flight to achieve aerodynamic benefit applied to rotorcraft has, unlike its fixed-wing counterpart, received little attention in the literature. This document presents a proof-of-concept of rotorcraft formation flight from two independent investigations: a numerical study of a fully articulated helicopter influenced by an upstream helicopter wake and a wind-tunnel experiment featuring two small-scale helicopter models with fixed-pitch blades. Both cases feature a representation of two heli… Show more
