The deflected geometry for each of five operating points have been analyzed using the rapid analysis method of Chapter 4. The results for the aluminum large hub and epoxy small hub rotors are presented in Figures 6.28 and 6.29, along with the experimental results, the original OVERFLOW-D results, and the original rapid analysis method performance predictions. There is minimal movement in the aluminum rotor case indicating that this is not the sole source of the typical 10% variation seen between the rapid analysis method and experiment. However, the torsional model clearly captures the large-scale performance loss of the small hub rotor, both in power and thrust.
