Scaled Blade Design and Rotor Progress Updates

This series of images showcases the stress analysis, extreme loads testing, loft and tooling progress, and hub design updates for a scaled blade design project. The stress analysis includes considerations for torque, thrust, and safety factors, with images detailing the results and adjustments made. Loft and tooling progress images highlight advancements in manufacturing ease and alignment, while the hub design progress focuses on accommodating necessary components. All information is labeled as company confidential and proprietary.
