To expand the cruise speed of a compound helicopter, alleviating the compressibility effects on the advancing side with reduced rotor RPM is proved to be an effective design feature, which results in high advance ratio flight regime. To investigate the aerodynamic phenomena at high advance ratios and provide data for the validation of analytical tools, a series of wind tunnel tests were conducted progressively in the Glenn L. Martin Wind Tunnel with a 33.5-inch radius fourbladed articulated rotor. In a recent wind tunnel test, the rotor blades were instrumented with pressure sensors and strain gauges at 30% radius, and pressure data were acquired to calculate the sectional airloads by surface integration up to an advance ratio of 0.8. The experimental results of rotor performance, control angles, blade airloads, and structural loads were compared with the predictions of comprehensive analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis coupled with computational structural dynamics (CSD) structural model. The paper focuses on the data correlation between experimental pressure, airload, and structural load data and the CFD/CSD predicted results at various collective and shaft tilt angles. Overall, the data correlation was found satisfactory, and the study provided some insights into the aerodynamic mechanisms that affect the rotor airload and performance, in particular the mechanisms of backward shaft tilt, the effect of hub/shaft wake, and the formation of dynamic stall in the reverse flow region.
