At the recent Vertical Flight Society’s 81st Annual Forum (VFS81), we presented our work on the optimization of rotor blade structures, supported by a VLRCOE task. Aiming to expand the existing capabilities and practices in rotor blade optimization, we explore how manufacturability of the composite struture may be incorporated into the optimization problem.
The work is done jointly with Dr. Edward Smith from Aerospace and Dr. R. B. Haehnel from Army ERDC.
