LostCosmonaut Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 That looks pretty neato. How are they planning on dealing with retreating blade stall? (assuming "twice the speed" isn't just marketing fluff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xlucine Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Is it as much of an issue with contra rotating rotors? There'll be no resultant torque applied, as each stalled rotor will roll you in an opposite direction to the other stalled rotor* * Assuming both rotors stall at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-L-M Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 1 hour ago, LostCosmonaut said: How are they planning on dealing with retreating blade stall With a single disk, the problem is balancing lift on both sides where one is advancing and the other retreating. The retreating has to have a higher AoA to compensate, and therefore stalls first. With contra disks, you can have a different swashplate for each rotor set. The retreating blades on each side can get a 0 AoA and therefore wont stall. Xlucine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
