Abstract This chapter describes the possible application of Rod Vortex Generators (RVGs) on helicopter rotor blades. Two different flight conditions are considered: hover and forward flight. The numerical model is validated with the available experimental data of the Caradonna–Tung model helicopter rotor blade (hover conditions) and the AH-1G helicopter (forward flight conditions). The application of RVGs on both rotor blades leads to an increment of the thrust coefficient with a power consumption penalty
