Along with serving as a warning system, though, the setup could also be used simply to study the behaviour of rotor blades, helping in the design of longer-lasting, better-performing models. Although ...

UAVOS announced that it had completed flight tests of its advanced bearing-less rotor system installed on the UVH 25EL unmanned helicopter. Torsion bar is aimed to provide an effective damping action ...

In very cold climate zones, the wind can blow with tremendous force. But wind turbines have rarely been built in these regions up to now. The risk of ice formation on the rotor blades is just too high ...

Helicopters are indispensable in many areas, from emergency rescue operations to security and transport missions. However, ...

The first tests have taken place at DLR's Wind Energy Research Farm in Krummendeich to setup and train the sensors on two wind turbines. To do this, the test team pulled on the rotor blades at various ...

Hughes Network Systems said that it has successfully demonstrated high-throughput video and data transmission over Satcom links on a variety of rotary wing platforms. Employing an advanced waveform ...

DLR energy researchers have manufactured the first innovative rotor blade (Smartblade) that adapts to wind conditions using bending torsion coupling In the coming weeks, the rotor blade will undergo ...

Offshore wind turbines are becoming ever larger, and the transportation, installation, disassembly and disposal of their gigantic rotor blades are presenting operators with new challenges. Now ...

GE Aviation and NASA will run a wind tunnel test program over the northern summer to evaluate and test counter-rotating fan-blade systems for open-rotor jet engine designs. The newly improved rig for ...

A number of companies shy away from building wind-powered systems in northern regions, even though the wind blows with great power there. To begin with, weather conditions represent a Herculean ...
