RotorcraftAerodynamic#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.aviator.RotorcraftAerodynamic#

Class defining the aerodynamic options for a rotorcraft.

Overview#

rotor_count

Get or set the number of rotors.

rotor_diameter

Get or set the diameter of the rotor.

blades_per_rotor

Get or set the number of blades on each rotor.

blade_chord

Get or set the chord length of the blade.

rotor_tip_mach

Get or set the Mach number of the advancing blade tip.

fuselage_flat_plate_area

Get or set the flat plate area for the fuselage.

tail_rotor_offset

Get or set the offset of the tail rotor.

tail_rotor_diameter

Get or set the diameter of the tail rotor.

blade_profile_drag_cd0

Get or set the drag coefficient when the rotor disc does not generate any lift.

blade_profile_drag_k

Get or set the induced drag coefficient, which accounts for how lift generation impacts drag.

induced_power_correction_factor

Get or set the slop factor that accounts for losses.
