Transfer of the CONSOL-OPTCAD Rotorcraft Design Tool to IndustrySignificant progress was made. Initial results on the improvement of the user-friendliness and useability of GIFCORCODE led to the decision to provide GIFCORCODE with a menu-driven user interface. In collaboration with staff at Moffett field and students from Cal Poly this objective has been largely met. GIFCORCODE is now menu-driven and very much easier to use. Complete designs for stability and control augmentation systems for the UH-60A ADOCS/RASCAL rotorcraft in both hover and 80 knots forward flight have been completed and documented. The originally planned presentations to industry were deferred so the new user interface for GIFCORCODE could be completed. The industry presentations are now planned for the next year. Similarly, the work on preparing a short course on the use of GIFCORCODE was deferred. The details of the original goals for this contract are presented in this report. The modifications to these goals and the reasons for them are also described. This is followed by a section containing the results of work on this contract. A final section, conclusions, contains suggestions for future work on this project.
