Optimal Segment Control of Active Twist Rotor for Power Reduction in Forward Flight

The segment control of active twist rotor is investigated to evaluate the effectiveness in rotor power reduction. A numerical model for predicting the isolated rotor power and loads in steady level flights is deployed and validated. A parametric sweep of the amplitude and phase angle for uniform sin...
