Cycloidal-rotor or Cyclocopter is a radical alternate concept to conventional helicopters that can revolutionize vertical flight. Cyclocopter research conducted in the University of Maryland by Dr. Moble Benedict and Prof. Inderjit Chopra included the most comprehensive experimental/computational study ever performed on this concept since its inception in the early 20th century. The experimental study included both performance and flow-field (Particle Image Velocimetry) studies. Above video includes the results from the detailed PIV studies performed on a 6 inch span and diameter cycloidal rotor at a rotational speed of 1300 rpm. This work was done in collaboration with Prof. Gordon Leishman and Dr. Manikandan Ramasamy of University of Maryland.
