Abstract

The HART II test of 2001 provided a significant and comprehensive database of rotor loads, blade motion, blade pressure distribution, acoustic signature and flow field data. A sub-set of these were released for public access worldwide and an International HART II Workshop was established in 2005. This Workshop, open to the international rotorcraft community, has been held since then at both the AHS Annual Forum as well as the European Rotorcraft Forum. Following the requests of participants, the HART II International Workshop database has been undergoing continuous development. This paper describes the current content and status of the data and the documentation material provided within the workshop database.
