Figure 11-4. Induced power factor for rotor in hover.<br />

(CT /σ)Dmin corresponds to the minimum drag and Δsep = |CT /σ| −(CT /σ)sep. Values of the basic<br />

drag equation are specified for helicopter (hover and edgewise) and propeller (axial climb and cruise)<br />

operation:<br />

cdh = d0hel + d1helΔ+d2helΔ 2 + dsepΔ Xsep<br />

sep<br />

cdp = d0prop + d1propΔ+d2propΔ 2 + dsepΔ Xsep<br />

sep<br />

The separation term is present only if Δsep > 0. The helicopter and propeller values are interpolated as<br />

a function of μz:<br />

cdbasic = cdh +(cdp − cdh) 2<br />

π tan−1 (|μz|/λh)<br />

so |μz|/λh =1is the midpoint of the transition.<br />

The stall drag increment represents the rise of profile power caused by the occurrence of significant<br />

stall on the rotor disk. Let Δs = |CT /σ| −(fs/foff)(CT /σ)s (fs is an input factor). The function<br />

foff =1− do1(1 − e −do2ox ) accounts for the influence of lift offset, ox = rMx/T R =(Khub/T R)βs. Then<br />

cdstall = ds1Δ Xs1<br />

s<br />

+ ds2Δ Xs2<br />

s<br />

(zero if Δs ≤ 0). The blade loading at which the stall affects the entire rotor<br />

power, (CT /σ)s, is an input function of the velocity ratio V = μ 2 + μ 2 z.<br />

The compressibility drag increment depends on the advancing tip Mach number Mat, and the tip<br />

airfoil thickness-to-chord ratio τ. The following models are implemented:<br />

a) Drag divergence model: Let ΔM = Mat − Mdd, where Mdd is the drag divergence Mach number of<br />

the tip section. Then the compressibility increment in the mean drag coefficient is<br />

cdcomp = dm1ΔM + dm2ΔM Xm<br />

(ref. 9). Mdd is a function of the advancing tip lift coefficient, c ℓ(1,90). The advancing tip lift is estimated<br />

from α (1,90) =(θ.75 +0.25θL + θs − (λ − βc)/(1 + μ)) ∼ = 1.6(1 − 2.97μ +2.21μ 2 )(6CT /σa)+0.25θtw (zero<br />

above μ =0.6). Then the Korn expression (ref. 10) gives Mdd for small lift coefficient:<br />

Mdd = κA − κ|cℓ|−τ = Mdd0 − κ|cℓ|
