Aeromechanics Analysis of a Compound Helicopter
A design and aeromechanics investigation was conducted for a 100,000-lb compound helicopter with a single main rotor, which is to cruise at 250 knots at 4000 ft/95 deg F condition. Performance, stability, and control analyses were conducted with the comprehensive rotorcraft analysis CAMRAD II. Wind tunnel test measurements of the performance of the H-34 and UH-1D rotors at high advance ratio we...
متن کاملManeuverability Assessment of a Compound Helicopter Configuration
The compound helicopter design could potentially satisfy the new emerging requirements placed on the next generation of rotorcraft. The main benefit of the compound helicopter is its ability to reach speeds that significantly surpass the conventional helicopter. However, it is possible that the compound helicopter design can provide additional benefits in terms of maneuverability. The paper fea...
متن کاملNew Design Approach of Compound Helicopter
Current trends in the design of helicopter have shown that in order to be economically viable and competitive it is necessary to investigate new design concept which may give an improvement in performance and operational flexibility goal and expanding the flight envelope of rotorcraft, but must be shown to be costeffective. The helicopter has carved a niche for itself as an efficient vertical t...
متن کاملA comparison of underwater helicopter-escape lights.
The effectiveness of two types of steady and flashing lights as escape hatch indicators for submerged helicopters was compared. Measurements were taken in moderately and highly turbid water. Response time was faster to the steady lights, and they were more accurately localized. Pairs of steady lights appeared to have some advantage over single lights, but this was not true for flashing lights. ...
متن کاملAeromechanics Analysis of a Heavy Lift Slowed-Rotor Compound Helicopter
A heavy lift slowed-rotor tandem compound helicopter was designed as a part of the NASA Heavy Lift Rotorcraft Systems Investigation. The vehicle is required to carry 120 passengers over a range of 1200 nautical miles and cruise at 350 knots at an altitude of 30,000 ft. The basic size of the helicopter was determined by the U.S. Army Aeroflightdynamics Directorate’s design code RC. Then performa...
