A new version of the full-potential rotor code (FPR) is described. This revised version contains improvements in code structure, algorithm implementation, and input/output options over the earlier version. The FPR code is coupled to a rotor-wake and trim model and the resulting combined code is used to predict surface pressures for three experimentally tested helicopter rotors. Generally good agreement is seen between computed and experimental results.
