A comprehensive experimental investigation of a helicopter blunt fuselage model was
carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of active flow control (AFC) systems in reducing …

The fuselage can be responsible for around 50 to 70% of the total drag of a helicopter. In the
particular case of large transport helicopters with a large flat aft loading ramp, two flow …

The performance of large helicopter transport has been investigated with the aim of reducing
the fuselage drag and increasing the performance. The fuselage drag is responsible of a …

Scope of the work was investigating both experimentally and numerically the flow
characteristics in the wake region of a simplified helicopter fuselage model featuring a rear …

A comprehensive experimental investigation of helicopter blunt fuselage drag reduction
using active flow control is being carried out within the European Clean Sky program. The …
