Dynamics of DiskRotor Aircraft

1

• Dynamics of Disk/Rotor Aircraft
• Team Members Samantha LaPlante
• Chris Mesrobian
• Advisor Demetri Telionis, Ph.D.
• The goal of this project is to asses the
  feasibility of a disk/ rotor aircraft through
  research, experimentation and design.

Asses the feasibility of the aircraft by -PIV
testing to investigate the flow patterns during
take off and landing -Examining the interactions
between the disk and fuselage -Define dynamics
during flight and hover -Suggesting tail
placement and design to facilitate control and
stability of aircraft
