The objective of the project was the assessment, by means of wind tunnel testing, of the effectiveness of the optimization carried out by GRC2 consortium on the internal duct shape of the ERICA tilt-rotor air intake. The tests was carried out on a rather high scale and quite complex model of the nacelle, including a part of the tilting wing and a rotating hub with the blade stubs. Beside the classical pressure and flow measurements, also some internal PIV surveys were carried out to get details of the flow field.
