Hello gentlemen, i'm shure you can help a poor worm like me.
What would be, on your opinion, the ideal blade design for :
- ultralight helicopter
- gyro capabilities
- tip jet capabilities
- 3 bladed semirigid rotor.
some basics : non linear twist, evolutive airfoil.
- root chord : 18 cm chord airfoil : S1020 , twisted 10 deg
- at 10 % : airfoil : VR7 , twisted 4 deg (CORRECTED)
- at 90 % : 16 cm chord airfoil VR9 , twisted 2 deg
- tip airfoil : super critical 0 deg twist.
tip shape : a mix of swept back and BERP tip, 2 % down dihedral, 30 degrees swept back.
weight expected : 3.5 kg (7lbs)
what would be on your opinions the limitations in a gyro mode use, a tip jet use, a classical powered use.
thank you
