The vision driving the work reported herein is to investigate the fluid-structure interac-tion (FSI) effects of the flexible laminated blades for tilt-body micro-air-vehicles (MAV)proprotors in hover and forward flight configurations. This is in order to exploit the po-tential of flexible-bladed proprotor over the rigid-bladed proprotor in the enhancementof proprotor performance during hovering and cruising at a target forward speed. Forthat, the FSI model taking into account the specific problems devoted to MAV-sizedproprotor made of laminate composite was developed. The FSI model combines aerody-namic model adapting Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory and structural modeladapting Anisotropic Finite Element Beam (AFEM) theory. The aerodyna...
