  • A flow field calculation model for scissors tail-rotor was established based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The nested grid method was used to simulate the blade motion, and the dual-time method was used for time propulsion. A high-efficiency trim strategy based on the “delta method” was adopted to trim the collective pitch for the scissors tail-rotor. On the basis, the aeroacoustic characteristics of the scissors tail-rotor were calculated by using Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) equation. This method was applied to the calculation of scissors tail-rotor (L configuration and U configuration) in different forward velocities. The effects of the scissors angle and vertical space on the aerodynamic force and noise of scissors tail-rotor were compared and analyzed. It was found that the scissors angle had an important effect on aerodynamic force and noise characteristics of the scissor tail rotor, while the vertical space had little effect on the tail rotor within a reasonable range. Compared with the conventional tail rotor, the noise directivity of the scissor tail rotor changed little in forward flight, but the noise amplitude changed significantly.
