A Mach-scaled model rotor with an active twist capability is in preparation for a wind tunnel test in the large low-speed facility of the German-Dutch wind tunnel (DNW) with international participation by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation & Missile Center, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, French Aerospace Lab (ONERA), Korea Aerospace Research Institute, Konkuk University, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Glasgow University, and DNW. To get the maximum benefit from the test and the most valuable data within the available test time, the tentative test matrix was covered by predictions of the partners, active twist benefits were evaluated, and support was provided to the test team to focus on the key operational conditions.
