Rotor modeling is critical in designing and optimizing rotorcraft performance. Traditional methods, while foundational, often need updating to keep pace with advancements in simulation tools and computational capabilities. This webinar will explore the latest techniques in rotor modeling, including enhancements to legacy work, the integration of rotor simulations into aero databases, and the application of advanced simulation methods such as Blade Element Theory (BET) and time-accurate rotor simulations.

Through these advanced techniques, engineers can improve the accuracy of performance predictions, enhance the safety and efficiency of rotorcraft designs, and reduce the time and cost associated with physical testing. We will discuss how modern simulation tools and flexible rotor modeling techniques can provide a more comprehensive understanding of rotor dynamics and their impact on overall aircraft performance.
