By adopting the three-section variable pitch axis distribution, the pitching moment of the blade can be reduced, the operation load is reduced, and the stability of the rotor wing is better.
The function of the chord length distribution is: C/C max ＝-1.0×(r/R) 2 +0.6 (R/R) +0.1, where 0.3. Ltoreq. R/R. Ltoreq.1.0 max For maximum chord, see FIG. 3 in particular, the maximum chord is at 0.3R/R and the minimum chord is at 1.0R/R. Theoretically, analysis shows that the chord length is larger as being closer to the blade root for providing efficiency, the maximum chord length is positioned at 0.3R/R by considering the existing blade processing technology, and therefore the blade processing technology can be met while the pneumatic efficiency is high.
The function of the twist profile is: alpha/alpha max ＝-1.0×(r/R) 2 +0.5 (R/R) +0.9375 where R/R is 0.25. Ltoreq. R/R.ltoreq.1.0, alpha is the local twist max For the maximum torsion, particularly shown in FIG. 4, the maximum torsion is at 0.25R/R, and the minimum torsion is at 1.0R/R, and the torsion distribution can enable the whole blade ring volume to be basically consistent, so that the hovering aerodynamic efficiency of the blade is improved.
