Abstract

A method of adjusting a rotary blade includes receiving performance data for a rotary blade, receiving an adjustment constraint for the rotary blade, defining an adjustment space for alternative adjustment solutions for the rotary blade including a plurality of alternative adjustment solutions, and calculating expected performance for one of the plurality of alternative adjustment solutions. Based on the expected performance of the one of the plurality of alternative adjustment solutions, the method determines whether to calculate expected performance for another of the plurality of alternative adjustment solutions.
