Abstract
An extensive quantity of airload measurements was obtained for a pressure-instrumented model of the BO-105 main rotor for a large number of higher harmonic control settings at Duits-Nederlandse Wind Tunnel. The wake geometry, vortex strength, and vortex core size were also measured through a laser light sheet technique and laser Doppler velocimetry. These results are used to verify the blade-vortex interaction (BVI) airload prediction methodologies developed by Army Aeroflightdynamics Directorate, Deutsche Forschungsanstalt fur Luft-und Raumfahrt, NASA Langley Research Center, and the Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aerospatiales. The comparisons show that an accurate prediction of the blade motion and the wake geometry is the most important aspect of the BVI airload predictions
