Journal Article
Lumba, R., Chi, C., Datta, A., Koning, W., Perez, N. P., & Cummings, H. (2023). Structural design and aeromechanical analysis of unconventional blades for future mars rotorcraft. Journal of the American Helicopter Society, 68(4), 42003-42018. https://doi.org/10.4050/JAHS.68.042003

The structural design of rotor blades with ultra-thin, unconventional airfoils is conducted in support of the NASA Rotor Optimization for the Advancement of Mars eXploration (ROAMX) project. The outer mold line was provided by NASA, and the internal... Read More about Structural design and aeromechanical analysis of unconventional blades for future mars rotorcraft.

Vacuum and hover tests of a dihedral–anhedral tip composite rotor (2023)
Journal Article
Chi, C., Datta, A., & Panda, B. (2023). Vacuum and hover tests of a dihedral–anhedral tip composite rotor. Journal of Aircraft, 60(5), 1700-1711. https://doi.org/10.2514/1.c037321

This paper presents test data from vacuum and hover tests of a 2.8-ft-radius dihedral–anhedral tip composite rotor. The paper describes the blades, their fabrication, properties, instrumentation, the test conditions, and the data acquired. The blades...
