A study of vehicle concepts for High Speed Rotorcraft applications has been undertaken at Ames Research Center in cooperation with NASA Lewis and Langley Centers, with the objective of defining their technology needs. The design guidelines include a low downwash velocity in hover, good low speed maneuver capabilities and cruise speeds up to 450 knots. Four contractors and a systems analysis effort within NASA have defined promising configurations which may be capable of meeting these goals. This paper addresses challenging problems associated with some of the configurations in the areas of aerodynamics, propulsion, weights and aeroelastic stability.
