(41C) Horizontal-Axis Wind System rotor performance model comparison
An excerpt from Horizontal-Axis Wind System rotor performance model comparison - a compendium, February 1983, Rockwell International

Table of Contents … {compendium} pg. 12 0f 564

Front Cover … {green book} pg. 32 of 564

Table of Contents … pg. 34 of 564

Executive Summary … pg. 38 of 564
     This report covers the development of a prediction method (AERO) for horizontal axis turbines and the comparison of predictions with test data.
     The prediction scheme is programmed both for Hewlett-Packard 41-C hand-held calculators and for digital computers using FORTRAN. Theory, listings and examples are given.


          INTRODUCTION … pg. 41 of 564
     The objective of this report is to provide a comparison between performance prediction and test results for horizontal axis wind turbines. This report covers the AERO program in two versions (FORTRAN and Hewlett-Packard 41-C) and the comparison between predicted and measured performance of the ENERTECH 1500 and UTRC 1/3 scale wind turbines.

          APPENDIX B … pg. 71 of 564
     AIRFOIL SECTION AERODYNAMICS

     The following is the drag calculation sequence in the program. It begins at about line 600. … pg. 78 of 564

RE: (41C) Horizontal-Axis Wind System rotor performance model comparison
... I extracted the HP-41C program pages, cut them into strips and passed them through OCR and manually edited the conversion errors I could see.

I have not tested the resulting program - there may still be some typos or incorrect line numbering.
[Edit: 22-JUN-2024: several typos corrected and attachment updated]
