A simple approach for robust design of a small-scale unmanned helicopter main rotor using Taguchi method is presented. Multiple parameters of the main rotor such as, blade length, blade planform variation, blade pre-Twist and rotor speed are considered with the objective of improving the hover performance of the helicopter. The value of each design parameter is considered at three distinct levels. A numerical scheme based on blade element momentum theory is used for performance analysis of the helicopter. The Taguchi method is used to obtain the optimal combination of design parameter values that result in a helicopter design with improved hover performance. Robustness of the design is facilitated by using practical tolerance values for the design variables as noise factors. The resulting robust design displays improved hover efficiency of the helicopter, with minimum variability in presence of reasonable variations in design parameters.h
