Wind Tunnel Testing of a Full Scale Helicopter Blade Section with an Upstream Active Gurney Flap
Wind tunnel tests were performed on an aerofoil section comparable to that of a full scale helicopter blade section with an upstream active Gurney flap in the framework of the European project CleanSky ITD Green RotorCraft. A modified NACA0012 profile was used, with 23 Kulite pressure transducers embedded in the profile’s surface and with an integrated actuator system for the Gurney flap. The G...
متن کاملNonlinear Modeling and Control Design of Active Helicopter Blades
The paper presents the theoretical basis for the simulation of active helicopter blades. The analysis of active helicopter blades is based on models for the structure, aerodynamics, actuation and sensing. For simulation and analysis purposes, the blade structural model is discretized in space using a Galerkin approach. The effect of the integral actuation enters the beam model via an active bea...
متن کاملUltrasonic Shear Wave Anti-Icing System for Helicopter Rotor Blades
A new conceptual non-thermal anti-icing system for helicopter rotor blades is introduced. Theoretical calculations predict that certain ultrasonic modes generated by horizontal shear waves produce sufficient interface stresses between a host structure and ice to remove the accreted ice layer. Experimentally obtained ultrasonic shear dispersion curves are compared to theoretical predictions for ...
متن کاملActive Helicopter Rotor Control Using Blade-Mounted Actuators
An aeroelastic model of a smart rotor system (which incorporates blade-mounted trailing-edge flap actuators and conventional root pitch actuation) is presented in linear time invariant state space form. The servo-flap deflections are modeled as producing incremental lift and moment variations, so that any linear aerodynamic actuator can be evaluated. This smart rotor model is used to conduct pa...
متن کاملCoupled Flap-Lag-Torsional Vibration Analysis of Pre-twisted Non-uniform Helicopter Blades
An approximate numerical mthod is presented for analysis and determination of modal characteristics in straight, pretwisted non-unifom helicopter blades. The analysis considers the coupled flapwise bending (out of plane), chordwise bending (in plane), and torsion vibration of both rotating and non-rotating blades. The proposed method is based on the integral expansion of Green functions (struct...
