The present conference on helicopter technologies discusses a 3D analysis of a rotor in forward flight, V-22 flight-test aerodynamics, the identification of higher-order helicopter dynamics using linear modeling methods, the evaluation of novel statistical methods for safe-life reliability, a full-scale airframe high cycle fatigue test methodology, and practical robustness testing for helicopter flight control systems. Also discussed are the mechanics of a curved-fiber composite, expanding Marine Corps roles for the AH-1W helicopter, rotorcraft maneuverability/agility-survivability sensitivity analysis, the prototype development of the helicopter air-to-air value-driven engagement model, V-22 effectiveness in land combat operations-support, the design manufacture of an advanced thermoplastic horizontal stabilator, a full-mission simulation data system, stress analysis of composite rotor systems, and an NDT assessment of the V-22.
