This work presents aerodynamic and aeroelastic models used to investigate the behavior of a cycloidal rotor scaled for personal transportation applications. Three different models are considered. The impact of solidity on performance is evaluated using a two-dimensional RANS viscous flow model with the boundary layer fully resolved. An aeroelastic multibody model is used to further evaluate the effects of aeroelasticity on the performance of the rotor.

This work presents aerodynamic and aeroelastic models used to investigate the behavior of a cycloidal rotor scaled for personal transportation applications. Three different models are considered. The impact of solidity on performance is evaluated using a two-dimensional RANS viscous flow model with the boundary layer fully resolved.
