The prediction of the performance and loads of a full-scale isolated proprotor and the calculation of whirl flutter stability of the rotor installed in a wind tunnel are considered in this study. The comprehensive analysis CAMRAD II is used. The test article is a research proprotor based on the Bell 609 rotor and the wind tunnel test apparatus is the newly developed Tiltrotor Test Rig (TTR) installed in the USAF NFAC 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel. The performance and loads predictions and the stability calculations cover the following operating conditions: hover, cruise, conversion, and helicopter mode. These pre-test analytical results are being obtained to identify test operating limits, ensure a safe wind tunnel test and predict test results. Eventually, the goal is to perform a correlation study, identify shortfalls in the analytical model and introduce improvements to the analytical model. Performance and loads test results to date show that rotor torque (and yoke lag moment) may limit the test envelope. Shake test data based stability analysis shows that the TTR/609 is solidly stable within the test envelope.
