Liles Research Associate Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division Christopher Bolkcom Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Military Helicopter Modernization: Background and Issues for Congress Summary Recent military operations, particularly those in Afghanistan and Iraq, have brought to the fore a number of outstanding questions concerning helicopters in the U.S. armed forces, including deployability, safety, survivability, affordability, and operational effectiveness. These concerns are especially relevant, and made more complicated, in an age of “military transformation,” the “global war on terrorism,” and increasing pressure to rein in funding for the military, all of which provide contradictory pressures with regard to DOD’s large, and often complicated, military helicopter modernization efforts. Despite these questions, the military use of helicopters is likely to hold even, if not grow. This report includes a discussion of the evolving role of helicopters in military transformation. The Department of Defense (DOD) fields 10 different types of helicopters, which are largely of 1960s and 1970s design. This inventory numbers approximately 5,500 rotary-wing aircraft, not including an additional 144 belonging to the Coast Guard, and ranges from simple “utility” platforms such as the ubiquitous UH-1 “Huey” to highly-advanced, “multi-mission” platforms such as the Air Force’s MH- 53J “Pave Low” special operations helicopter and the still-developmental MV-22B “Osprey” tilt-rotor aircraft. Three general approaches can be taken to modernize DOD’s helicopter forces: upgrading current platforms, rebuilding current helicopter models (often called recapitalization), or procuring new models.

  • Aerodynamic Design of Helicopter Rotors for Reduced Brownout Glen R
    Aerodynamic Design of Helicopter Rotors for Reduced Brownout Glen R. Whitehouse, Daniel A. Wachspress and Todd R. Quackenbush [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] Continuum Dynamics, Inc. Ewing, New Jersey, 08618 ABSTRACT Rotorcraft brownout is caused by the entrainment of dust and ground debris by the rotorwash during take-off and landing, and is a critical operational problem. Brownout affects safe operations due to the reduction of visibility, in addition to damaging engine components and rotor blades. Recent experience gained from operations in brownout with a variety of rotorcraft configurations, dynamically scaled test facilities as well as ongoing work with validated analyses at Continuum Dynamics, Inc. (CDI), indicates that aerodynamic modifications to the aircraft may offer a complementary approach to sensor-based brownout solutions. This paper reviews the underlying brownout flow-physics, with particular emphasis on the critical connection between wake dynamics and tip vortex properties, and the development of a strategy to best exploit fluid- dynamic mechanisms to reduce brownout without adversely affecting the aerodynamic performance of the rotor system. Particular emphasis will be placed on explaining why basic rotor scaling parameters have little influence on brownout and why the AW101/EH101/US101, and the Sea King with advanced blades, might offer improved brownout performance. Practical methods are presented for implementing modifications in a retrofittable manner that do not degrade the aerodynamic performance of the helicopter and are commensurate with current procurement systems. NOMENCLATURE * INTRODUCTION CD drag coefficient Brownout - the entrainment and circulation of particles, dust and debris from the ground during rotorcraft take-off and CT thrust coefficient landing over unprepared fields - represents a serious D drag problem for rotorcraft operations (see Figure 1).

Barakos1,†, and R. Steijl1,‡ 1CFD Laboratory School of Engineering, University of Glasgow Abstract. In this work computational fluid dynamics is used to validate experimental results for a two-bladed small rotor In Ground Effect conditions. The paper focuses on the evaluation and prediction of the rotor outwash generated in ground effect. Time-averaged outflow velocities are compared with experimental results, and the simulated flow field is used for safety studies using the PAXman model and particle tracking methods. The aircraft weights have been studied, evaluating scaling factors to define how helicopter weight can affect the outflow forces and the particle paths. Results show how the wake generated by heavier helicopters can lead to stronger forces on ground personnel and push the particles farther away from the rotor.

Roche, the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) established the Air Force Center for Systems Engineering (AF CSE) at its Wright Patterson AFB campus in 2003. With academic oversight by a subcommittee on Systems Engineering (SE), chaired by then-Air Force Chief Scientist Dr. Alex Levis, the AF CSE was tasked to develop case studies of SE implementation during concept definition, acquisition, and sustainment. The committee drafted an initial case outline and learning objectives, and suggested the use of the Friedman-Sage Framework to guide overall analysis.
