Kopter had three successful days at the 48^th edition of the European Rotorcraft Forum European Rotorcraft Forum (ERF) 2022 which took place this year for the first time in Switzerland, in the city of Winterthur from 6 to 8 September at the ZHAW (Zurich University of Applied Sciences), thanks to Leonardo.

This edition brought again the rotorcraft community together including manufacturers, research centers, academia, operators and regulatory agencies to discuss advances in research, development, design, manufacturing, testing and operations of rotorcraft.

Due to its strong presence in Switzerland, Kopter was the main sponsor of the event and benefited from a large visibility.

Several Kopter colleagues presented technical papers over the 3 days on:

• Pseudo-Inverse Simulation of Pull-Up Maneuvers at Low and High Speeds by Means of Optimization
• Rotorcraft Pitot-Static systems calibration process to reduce error in all flight regimes and all rotorcraft configurations
• Hybrid Propulsion Benefit in Optimal Power Off Landings of Light Multi-Role Helicopters
• Fully FEM-based simulation approach for advanced helicopter interior noise design using noise sources extracted from flight test data

Several presentations were also done by our Leonardo colleagues.
