The development of EHPIC (Evaluation of Hover Performance using Influence Coefficients), a hover performance analysis code incorporating a new free wake analysis method based on the use of influence coefficients, is discussed. The technical principles underlying the EHPIC code are examined with emphasis on the extension of single-filament wake models to a multi-bladed multifilament wake suitable for realistic hover performance predictions. The coupling of the wake model to a lifting surface loads analysis is described, and sample problems are solved to demonstrate the robustness of the method.
