Aeromechanics 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...

متن کاملAeromechanics 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 کاملRevitalising advanced rotorcraft research – and the compound helicopter
This paper briefly reviews the history and development of compounds, tiltrotors and hingeless rotors. Largely through a quirk of history, the compound has been neglected for over three decades. The mission performance potential of the compound is re-examined based on basic aerodynamic principles and by surveying recent NASA and Army mission design studies. A rational case can be made that the c...
متن کاملApplication of Climate Impact Metrics to Civil Tiltrotor Design
Multiple metrics are applied to the design of a large civil tiItrotor, integrating minimum cost and minimum environmental impact. The design mission is passenger transport with similar range and capacity to a regional jet. Separate aircraft designs are gener ated for minimum empty weight, fuel burn, and environmental impact. A metric specifically developed for the design of aircraft is employed...
