FASTrescue deliverable D3.3c: PAVE database

Kurzfassung

This document describes the results obtained during the PAVE measurement campaign in 2004 with DLR’s BO105 helicopter. The dataset contains measurements from the main rotor system, including blade pressures,blade bending moments, blade pitch angles and rotorshaft bending moments. Further it contains measurements of various onboard data, such as GPS position, velocity, acceleration, rotor RPM, attitude angles and its time derivatives and time synchronised acoustic measurement on the ground. The availability of blade pressure data makes this data very useful for the validation of CFD codes and the time synchronised acoustic data on the ground makes it very suitable for the development and validation of aeroacoustic tools. Examples of the data are presented together with post processing techniques. A method for the separation of the acoustic time signal into main and tail rotor components in described and demonstrated.
