A counter-rotating open rotor scale model was tested in the NASA Glenn Research Center 9-by 15-Foot Low-Speed Wind Tunnel (LSWT). This model used a historical baseline blade set with which modern blade designs will be compared against on an acoustic and aerodynamic performance basis. Different blade pitch angles simulating approach and takeoff conditions were tested, along with angle-ofattack configurations. A configuration was also tested in order to determine the acoustic effects of a pylon.
