Experimental and numerical investigations on the aerodynamics of a simplified helicopter fuselage

Depending on helicopter weight class, fuselage parasite drag contributes up to 70 percent of total helicopter drag. One source of the parasite drag is the flow separation behind a helicopter fuselage. During the long cruising flight operation, this could lead to higher fuel consumption, more air p...
