A wide range of aerodynamic phenomena contribute to the airloads on rotorcraft, and the accurate prediction of these loads represents a major challenge to the helicopter technical community. This Specialists' Meeting was organized for the purpose of identifying and assessing recent developments in this field. The primary theme of the meeting was the prediction and experimental verification of the steady and unsteady aerodynamic forces on the rotor blades of modern helicopters and related devices, such as wind turbines. The Meeting consisted of four main sessions that addressed recent advances in rotor airloads prediction methods, including the evolution to the present state of the art, the capabilities and limitations of the current methodology, and the specific areas that need further effort. Nineteen invited papers were presented on the following four sessions: Rotor-Blade Aerodynamic Characteristics; Wakes and Aerodynamic Interference Effects of Rotorcraft and Wind Turbines; Rotor Airloads-Prediction Programs; and Experimental Correlations and Verifications.
