Optimization of helicopter rotor blade performance by spline-based taper distribution using neural networks based on CFD solutions
The taper distribution along the span of a helicopter blade is defined using a novel method applied for the first time and considered as the main contribution of this work. This method uses cubic splines to generate modified blade shapes. The thrust and the torque values, computed by a 3-D Reynolds...
