    Hover predictions of tiltrotor aircraft are hampered by the lack of accurate and computationally efficient models for rotor/wing interactional aerodynamics. This paper summarizes the development of an approximate, potential flow solution for the rotor-on-rotor and wing-on-rotor interactions. This analysis is based on actuator disk and vortex theory and the method of images. The analysis is applicable for out-of-ground-effect predictions. The analysis is particularly suited for aircraft preliminary design studies. Flow field predictions from this simple analytical model are validated against experimental data from previous studies. The paper concludes with an analytical assessment of the influence of rotor-on-rotor and wing-on-rotor interactions. This assessment examines the effect of rotor-to-wing offset distance, wing sweep, wing span, and flaperon incidence angle on tiltrotor inflow and performance.Young, Larry A. and Derby, Michael R.Ames Research CenterFLOW DISTRIBUTION; MATHEMATICAL MODELS; ROTOR AERODYNAMICS; TILT ROTOR AIRCRAFT; INTERACTIONAL AERODYNAMICS; HOVERING; AIRCRAFT DESIGN; SWEPT WINGS; POTENTIAL FLOW; VORTICES; WING SPAN; FLAPERONS...
