Conclusions from high-speed rotorcraft studiesUnder the tutelage of NASA-Ames, evaluations have been made of the technology required for high-speed rotorcraft flight with a view to the performance potential and development risks of several candidate configurations. Configurational performance limitations were associated with rotor performance at high Mach numbers and advance ratios, nacelle interference effects on rotor flow, and wing/rotor aeroelastic stability requirements. Attention is given to tiltwing, tilt-for-VTOL/fold-for-cruise rotor, and conventional tiltrotor configurations capable of carrying 30 passengers for the intercity commuter market.
