The use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is gaining momentum within the aeronautical community. A relatively small segment of this community is applying CFD technology in the prediction of VSTOL aircraft performance. An even smaller group of engineers are refining and applying fluid dynamics solvers to the problem of predicting hover performance of helicopter rotors and proprotors designed by rotorcraft advocates. This small group of CFD engineers who are attacking the hover performance problem have, today, been using a quite limited experimental data base upon which to demonstrate their progress. This is because their concentration has been on only two successful tiltrotor flying; namely the XV-15 and the MV-22B. No attention appears (as yet) to be directed at the CL-84 or the XC-142A. The purpose of this report is to expand the experimental data base of both proprotors and propellers so that comparisons of test and various theories can be made to several more configurations of these propulsive devices used by VSTOL aircraft.
