In the present study, the parametric study was performed to analyze the effect of the tab on the aerodynamic performance and characteristics of rotor blades. Also, the tab shape was designed to improve the aerodynamic performance of rotor blades. A computational fluid dynamics solver based on three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equation using an unstructured mesh was used for the parametric study and the tab design. For airfoils, the effect of length and angle of a tab was studied on the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils. In addition, including those parameters, the effect of a span of a tab was studied for rotor blades in hovering flight. The results of the parametric study were analyzed in terms of change of the aerodynamic performance and characteristics to understand the effect of a tab. Considering the analysis, the design of tab shape was conducted to improve the aerodynamic performance of rotor blades. The simply attached tab to trailing edge of the rotor blades increases the thrust of the rotor blades without significant changing of aerodynamic characteristics of the rotor blades in hovering and forward flight. © 2018, The Korean Society for Aeronautical & Space Sciences and Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
