This report summarizesthe theoretical and experimental investigations that were conducted to evaluate the potential of aeroelastic and mass-elastic couplings in an aeroelastic conformable rotor (ACR) that will improve the performance and vibratory charactersitics of helicopter rotor systems without creating instabilities. ACR parameters were identified and a baseline rotor system was selected. An ACR blade concept was investigated by altering the characteristics of the base-line and using automated analysis techniques. (DePo)
