Abstract
The present study investigates the deformation of propeller blades in the presence of a wing, specifically analysing the lift-induced upwash effects through experimental measurements conducted in a wind tunnel. The objective is to quantify the impact of non-uniform inflow on blade bending, with a particular focus on the aerodynamic interactions between the rotor and the wing. Image Pattern Correlation Technique (IPCT) was employed to measure blade deformation, leveraging high-resolution optical methods to capture structural response under varying flight conditions.
