HART II International Workshop

The HART II test of 2001 provided a significant and comprehensive database of rotor loads, blade motion, blade pressure distribution, acoustic signature and flow field data. A sub-set of these were released for public access worldwide and an International HART II Workshop, open to the international rotorcraft community, was established in 2005 and ended in 2012. This Workshop has been held at both the AHS Annual Forum as well as the European Rotorcraft Forum. Its purpose was to provide most comprehensive and unique data for code validation of an actively controlled rotor. The data still are used as benchmark test for rotorcraft simulation capability.
