A flow-generating rotor has been designed under NASA contract NAS3-7614 to enable three transonic stators to be tested. The stators were designed by NASA in conjunction with the Contractor. Design analyses were conducted and the results indicate that the rotor will produce the required inlet flow to the stators. Structural and vibration analyses indicate that resonances and critical speeds occur outside the operating range and that the component stresses will be well within the capabilities of the materials used. Design details of the flow generation rotor and the three transonic stators are presented.
