An European collaborative programme for Interactional Aerodynamics study on helicopter configuration was started in 1990 in the BRITE/EURAM activities umer the name SCIA (Study and Computation of Interactional Aerodynamics). In this paper, the developnent and the current results of this research are presented. The major goal of the participants in the SCIA project is to improve existing methodologies for individual helicopter components (rotor, fuselage) and to develop algorithms for predicting the complex rotor/fuselage interaction problem. The efforts in this project are directed toward code/technology development for an industrial environment rather than pure research purposes. What follows is an overview of the activities performed by the collaborative group in the computational area adn also in the experimental field, the latter included in the program because a sound data base is an essential requirement for any programme involving the development and inprovement of theoretical algorithms; the partners agreed on setting up of experimental activities to obtain basic information on rotor/fuselage flow fields, not yet available or specific to the planned activities.
