A new, advanced type of active control for helicopters and its application to the solution of rotor aerodynamic and aeroelastic problems is described. Each blade is individually controlled in the rotating frame over a wide range of frequencies up to the sixth harmonic of rotor speed. The paper describes the design of a system controlling retreating blade stall, and the testing of the system on a model rotor in the wind tunnel. The control inputs considered are higher harmonic blade pitch changes at 2P and 3P, of amplitude and phase such that rotor loading is increased in the fore and aft portions of the rotor disk while rotor loading is reduced on the lateral portions. In this manner retreating blade stall may be alleviated, with corresponding reduction in rotor power requirements and vibration.
