Applying Pressure Sensitive Paint Technology to Rotor Blades

Watkins, A. Neal / Leighty, Bradley D. / Lipford, William E. / Goodman, Kyle Z. / Crafton, Jim / Gregory, James W.

This report will present details of a Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) system for measuring global surface pressures on rotorcrtaft blades in simulated forward flight at the 14- by 22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel at the NASA Langley Research Center. The basics of the PSP method will be discussed and the modifications that were needed to extend this technology for use on rotor blades. Results from a series of tests will also be presented as well as several areas of improvement that have been identified and are currently being developed for future testing.
