The U.S. Army is moving ahead with research on potential new component-level technologies for future rotorcraft.
A team from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory completed the first-ever
live-fire test of a rotor blade with individual blade control technology
in mid-January.
Researchers fired three shots representative of typical ground fire on a
7-foot span, 10-inch chord rotor blade section with a 4-foot long
Continuous Trailing Edge Flap, or CTEF, at ARL's Survivability and
Lethality Analysis Directorate's Airbase Experimental Facility 6 and 7.
