The airloads-inflow model presented is ideally suited for rotor aeroelasticity and control analysis, especially where eigenvalues are sought. The model, which is derived from thin-airfoil theory with an extension that allows for other airfoil effects, is of hierarchical-lift type and may be simplified to any degree desired; the inflow is also expanded in shape functions which may be truncated to any desired texture. Both models are written in closed-form, state-variable equations without hidden states and without integrals over the wake.
