I've sent a (probably too large) private email containing: NACA Technical Note 4357 - Lift and Profile-Drag Characteristics of an NACA 0012 Airfoil As Derived From Measured Helicopter-Rotor Hovering Performance. NACA report 824 - I think this is the big lift-drag overview of NACA airfoil sections. I think combining the data from this with that from TN4357 should give some ideas for what happens in hover versus movement in non-turbulent air. NASA Contracter Report 177476 - Minimum-Complexity Helicopter Simulation Math Model - this is the paper that *everyone* writing about helicopter simulation cites, even though it's from July 1987. I haven't gone through the code, it's in Fortran or somesuch, but just a cursory skim gae me some good things to think about.
