Precision Tracking with Helitune’s WhirlTrak™ System

Helitune’s WhirlTrak™ System empowers OEMs to replicate onboard monitoring system performance directly at the Rotor Tower. This advanced system is essential during rotor blade qualification, production, and maintenance phases.

Optimised blade performance

Whirl tower test stands, utilised by OEMs and maintenance centres, dynamically track rotor blades before aircraft installation. The precise tracking data obtained at these test stands informs adjustments to blade weight and tab settings, ensuring optimal performance and consistent tracking across all pitch configurations.

Enhanced efficiency and cost savings

By using a whirl tower test stand for dynamic blade balancing, the need for extensive rotor track and balance test flights on the aircraft is significantly reduced. This not only streamlines the operational process but also results in considerable cost savings in aircraft hours.
