recruiting participants. Second,conducting pilot studies can help researchers develop and iterate the questions included in aninterview protocol [2, 14].To develop a consensus on how many participants we wanted to use for this study, we utilizedMalterud et al.’s concept of information power (see Figure 1) [15]. Information power helped usanalyze the sample pool from which we had to develop this study methodologically. Accordingto Malterud et al., information power explains that fewer participants are needed if the sampleholds more information important to the study [15]. Five aspects are important to determiningthe information power of a specific sample: study aim, sample specificity, established theory,dialogue quality, and analysis strategy. More

The tests andsolution will be based on the coefficient influence method. Similar to a “real” rotor test rig,constrains must be addressed when the solution is implemented.
