ABSTRACT:
A helicoper rotor blade includes at its outer end a tip vane having a mean chord length greater than fifty percent of a chord length of a blade central portion and a span length greater than fifty percent of the blade chord which in operation generates two approximately equal strength tip vortices to reduce an acoustic impulse and a resulting noise known as blade slap.
