The purpose of this study is to to assess the improvement of the aerodynamic characteristics of tiltrotor engine installation, both in terms of a reduction of total pressure losses in the intake duct and a more uniform flow field at the engine Aerodynamic Interface Plane (AIP), and an increased efficiency of the by-pass duct. The results of this analysis will be used to to achieve important guidelines for future detailed design of the ERICA tiltrotor

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to to assess the improvement of the aerodynamic characteristics of tiltrotor engine installation, both in terms of a reduction of total pressure losses in the intake duct and a more uniform flow field at the engine Aerodynamic Interface Plane (AIP), and an increased efficiency of the by-pass duct. The results of this analysis will be used to to achieve important guidelines for future detailed design of the ERICA tiltrotor
