It shows the main aspects of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Element in Time (FET) used for the analysis of Smart helicopter rotors aeroelasticity. The main theoretical aspects dealing with the trim condition for both forward flight and hovering are presented. Numerically, such approach is applied to a BO-105 helicopter type. In addition, a theoretical model for a Smart blade aimed at achieving an anhedral configuration is presented and applied for the same type of helicopter in hover. The role played by the main components of the Smart actuator is discussed. This report represents the 'ACADEMIA' Project Deliverable WP-6300.2.

The main theoretical aspects dealing with the trim condition for both forward flight and hovering are presented. Numerically, such approach is applied to a BO-105 helicopter type.
