• The goal of this project is to validate the
  theory that multiple DiscRotor aircraft will
  outperform single DiscRotor and traditional
  rotorcraft.

• Key Features
• Our group will test two and three disc
  configurations in a wind tunnel environment. We
  will then compare lift and drag data to that of a
  single disc from previous experiments. Our
  results will also be evaluated against
  traditional fixed wing and hover aircraft. Wind
  tunnel testing of Reverse Velocity Rotors (RVRs)
  will also be done in order to analyze more
  aspects of the DiscRotor concept. We will then
  compare our RVR data to that of the Computational
  Fluid Dynamics group.
