Abstract

This Interim Report describes work conducted to address specifically two items of concern highlighted at the Phase 1 Progress Meeting: the overestimate of rotorspeed obtained with the engineering models; and the degree of instability predicted by the RASCAL model. Both characteristics are not reflected in the existing limited flight test experience. Although this additional work is limited in scope, it is felt that the results are significant enough to justify an Interim Report.
