A description of the Rotor Systems Research Aircraft (RSRA) was presented, with particular emphasis on the unique systems that provide the potential for good flight/ground test facility correlation. These flight research vehicles are designed specifically with the capabilities necessary for the effective and efficient in-flight test and verification of promising new rotor concepts and supporting technology developments. The research mission and unique features of the RSRA will provide the capability to measure and separate the flight loads of the airframe and rotor, thereby allowing direct flight/ground test facility correlation of rotors as well as correlation with analytical models.
