Abstract

In this paper, the practical design method of the maximum static thrust rotor based on the vortex method is described. After the vortex method is introduced, the simplified optimum rotor design method is presented. By analyzing the shape of the rotor wake, it was evident that the pitch of the vortices produced by the tip of the rotor is half that of the inboard vortices. The wake contraction rate parameter and axial vortex trajectory parameters are obtained from the tip vortices simulation. The accurate design method based on the vortex method with accurate wake model is then executed. The obtained maximum thrust rotor satisfies the conditions required on the Trefftz plane, which is not unfulfilled achieved by the simplified design method.
