This test on the Lockheed designed 25 foot diameter X-Wing rotor had four purposes: (1) to expand the operating envelope to tip speeds of 700 ft/sec. and CT/o of .20; (2) to investigate track and balance sensitivities; (3) to evaluate the control system response characteristics at the higher disc loading; (4) to correlate CCHAP and CRUISE 4 analytical predictions with test data; and (5) to evaluate downwash on the close proximity fuselage.
