This report deals with the technical activities of the FRIENDCOPTER subtask 5.1-1 concerning the "Integrated Design Study (Design, Aerodynamics, Actuator" within task T5.1 "Design Concept, Optimisation" pursued during the first 18 months. Due to a preliminary risk assessment all active blade concepts have been grouped in two classes videlicet high and low risk approaches. The low risk approaches (A1) comprise the dynamic active twist whose development is lead by DLR and the distributed actuation, i.e. the soft trailing edge concept whose development is lead by EADS-CRC; the high risk approaches (A2) deal with a static twist whose development is lead by CIRA and blade cross-section morphing by different types of active devices.

Abstract
This report deals with the technical activities of the FRIENDCOPTER subtask 5.1-1 concerning the "Integrated Design Study (Design, Aerodynamics, Actuator" within task T5.1 "Design Concept, Optimisation" pursued during the first 18 months. Due to a preliminary risk assessment all active blade concepts have been grouped in two classes videlicet high and low risk approaches. The low risk approaches (A1) comprise the dynamic active twist whose development is lead by DLR and the distributed actuation, i.e. the soft trailing edge concept whose development is lead by EADS-CRC; the high risk approaches (A2) deal with a static twist whose development is lead by CIRA and blade cross-section morphing by different types of active devices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
