The Rotorcraft Research Group at Carleton University integrates research efforts in the field of rotorcraft aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, aeroacoustics, blade dynamics and smart structures. The group is lead by 2 full-time faculty members and employs about 15 research students and staff. Our main research program is based around the SHARCS project, which aims to prove the concept of an actively controlled helicopter "smart" rotor for the reduction of vibration and noise experimentally.
The Rotorcraft Research Group's unique feature is its interdisciplinary character, enhancing the development of application-oriented research expertise.
