N2 - The exact formulation of flow below the rotor disk for the finite-state inflow equations (derived from potential flow theory by the Galerkin method) shows that flow below the rotor disk involves time delays and the existence of adjoint variables, time-marched backwards. Thus, when two rotors are coupled together, traditional Laplace Transform solutions are not applicable; and new dynamics are introduced that have not heretofore been studied. In this paper, we look at the nature of these types of solution in terms of blade and inflow dynamics of two co-axial lifting rotors revealing interesting behavior.
