Abstract
A rotor blade for a reaction drive type helicopter is provided. The rotor blade includes a main duct extending from a proximal end, couplable to and for fluid communication with a rotor hub, to a distal end for ducting a first air/gas stream from the rotor hub to the distal end. A nozzle is attached to an outlet of the main duct at the distal end for receiving the first air/gas stream from the main duct and releasing the first air/gas stream to propel the rotor blade. A circulation control is carried at a trailing edge of the blade. A trailing edge duct is carried intermediate the trailing edge and the main duct and is in fluid communication with the main duct by a partition with a plurality of orifices formed therein to bleed air from the main duct and generate a second air/gas stream therein with a pressure less than the pressure of the first air/gas stream. The trailing edge duct supplies the second air/gas stream to the circulation control.
