  • The Fairey Rotodyne
    THE FAIREY ROTODYNE The Rotodyne represents an entirely new approach to air transport, and its amazing performance is a triumph for the British Au.i4.ii Industry. It is the first true vertical take-off airliner, and is capable of carrying a full load of passengers or freight, operating from airlicUU no larger than two tennis courts. Unlike the conventional helicopter the Rotodyne is economical to operate, and also capable of much hijr.lin speeds and greater range. The prototype Rotodyne, built under a Ministry of Supply contract, first flew on 6th November, 1957, and achieved its first transition to complete autorotative flight in April, 1958. This prototype, the subject of this model, is capable of carrying 48 passengers or five tun» of freight; the eventual production version will be larger, carrying up to 70 passengers or 8 tons of freight, and will be powered by the more powerful Rolls-Royce Tyne engines in place of the present Elands. A striking demonstration of the Rotodyne's performance was given in January, 1959, when it set up a record 191 m.p.h. on a 100 kin closed circuit. This exceeds the previous record by 49 m.p.h.j and is even 29 m.p.h. faster than the previous absolute speed record for heli- copters. This speed, together with the range of 450 miles, to be increased to 650 miles in the developed version, and of course the weighi lifting and vertical take-off performance, puts the Fairey Rotodyne into a class of its own. Already three airline operators have indicated their intention of buying the Rotodyne, and great interest is being shown by civilian and military operators throughout Europe and America.

  • Thrust Control of Vtol Aircraft – Part Deux Daniel C. Dugan
    THRUST CONTROL OF VTOL AIRCRAFT – PART DEUX DANIEL C. DUGAN [email protected] Aero Engineer/Research Pilot´‡ NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, California ABSTRACT Thrust control of Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) aircraft has always been a debatable issue. In most cases, it comes down to the fundamental question of throttle versus collective. Some aircraft used throttle(s), with a fore and aft longitudinal motion, some had collectives, some have used Thrust Levers where the protocol is still “Up is Up and Down is Down,” and some have incorporated both throttles and collectives when designers did not want to deal with the Human Factors issues. There have even been combinations of throttles that incorporated an arc that have been met with varying degrees of success. A previous review was made of nineteen designs without attempting to judge the merits of the controller. Included in this paper are twelve designs entered in competition for the 1961 Tri-Service VTOL transport. Entries were from a Bell/Lockheed tiltduct, a North American tiltwing, a Vanguard liftfan, and even a Sikorsky tiltwing. Additional designs were submitted from Boeing Wichita (direct lift), Ling-Temco-Vought with its XC-142 tiltwing, Boeing Vertol’s tiltwing, Mcdonnell’s compound and tiltwing, and the Douglas turboduct and turboprop designs. A private party submitted a re-design of the Breguet 941 as a VTOL transport. It is important to document these 53 year-old designs to preserve a part of this country’s aviation heritage. INTRODUCTION During the design phase of an aircraft, the control of Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) aircraft, thrust should be a straightforward process.

  • Aerodynamic Concept of the Uav in the Gyrodyne Configuration
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE INSTITUTE OF AVIATION 1 (250) 2018, pp. 49–66 DOI: 10.2478/tar-2018-0005 © Copyright by Wydawnictwa Naukowe Instytutu Lotnictwa AERODYNAMIC CONCEPT OF THE UAV IN THE GYRODYNE CONFIGURATION Jan Muchowski*, Marek Szumski*, Andrzej Krzysiak** *Department of Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics, Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, Rzeszow University of Technology, al. Powstańców Warszawy 8, 35-959 Rzeszow **Aerodynamics Department, Institute of Aviation, Al. Krakowska 110/114, 02-256 Warsaw [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], Abstract The article presents an aerodynamic concept of UAV in the gyrodyne configuration, as a more efficient one than the currently used UAV airframe configuration applied for monitoring tasks of pow- er lines and railway infrastructure. A sample task which is realised by conceptual gyrodyne based on monitoring aerial power lines was characterised and described . The assumed idea of UAV was shown in comparison to the currently used aircraft configuration presented in the introduction. Referring to momentum theory, hover efficiency of the multicopter and the helicopter was evaluated. In relation to the helicopter, an initial draft of the airframe conception accompanied by a description of advan- tages of the gyrodyne configuration was exposed. Problems related to the gyrodyne configuration were emphasised in the summary. Keywords: aerodynamic concept, UAV, VTOL, gyrodyne, airframe configuration 1. INTRODUCTION In recent years a dynamic growth of the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) usage in civil and mili- tary missions can be observed . Economic aspects are the main reasons of that increase, i.e. the purchas- ing cost of the UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) varies from 40% up to 80% of the manned system cost.

  • Performance Analysis of the Slowed-Rotor Compound Helicopter Configuration
    Performance Analysis of the Slowed-Rotor Compound Helicopter Configuration Matthew W. Floros Wayne Johnson Raytheon ITSS Army/NASA Rotorcraft Division Moffett Field, California NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, California The calculated performance of a slowed-rotor compound aircraft, particularly at high flight speeds, is exam- ined. Correlation of calculated and measured performance is presented for a NASA Langley high advance ratio test and the McDonnell XV-1 demonstrator to establish the capability to model rotors in such flight conditions. The predicted performance of a slowed-rotor vehicle model based on the CarterCopter Technology Demonstra- tor is examined in detail. An isolated rotor model and a model of a rotor and wing are considered. Three tip speeds and a range of collective pitch settings are investigated. A tip Mach number of 0.2 and zero collective pitch are found to be the optimum condition to minimize rotor drag. Performance is examined for both sea level and cruise altitude conditions. Nomenclature Much work has been focused on tilt rotor aircraft; both military and civilian tilt rotors are currently in development. But other configurations may provide comparable benefits to CT thrust coefficient tilt rotors in terms of range and speed. Two such configura- CQ torque coefficient tions are the compound helicopter and the autogyro. These CH longitudinal inplane force coefficient configurations provide STOL or VTOL capability, but are ca- D drag pable of higher speeds than a conventional helicopter because L lift the rotor does not provide the propulsive force or at high MTIP tip Mach number speed, the vehicle lift. The drawback is that redundant lift VT tip speed and/or propulsion add weight and drag which must be com- q dynamic pressure pensated for in some other way.

Ph. D. Thesis Department of Aerospace Engineering University of Glasgow July 2009 Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Engineering in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy c J. Trchalík, 2009 Abstract The gyroplane represents the first successful rotorcraft design and it paved the way for the development of the helicopter during the 1940s. Gyroplane rotors are not powered in flight and work in autorotative regime and hence the characteristics of a helicopter rotor during powered flight and a rotor in autorotation differ sig- nificantly. Gyroplanes in the UK have been involved in number of fatal accidents during the last two decades. Despite several research projects focused on gyroplane flight dynamics, the cause of some of gyroplane accidents still remains unclear. The aeroelastic behaviour of autorotating rotors is a relatively unexplored problem and it has not yet been investigated as possible cause of the accidents.

Extensive research into the market requirements and history of the autogiro are presented as justification for the implementation of such a design. The design criteria and mission profile are selected in order to compete with inter-city commuting in the range of 20 to 30 statute miles or with longer range travel at roughly 100 miles. Cost estimations are also made in order to gauge the feasibility of this design from an economic standpoint. Achieving the design criteria and desired mission profile are done through numerical integration and analysis through CFD to optimize the initial design detailed below.

    Obituary prepared for the Royal Aeronautical Society by David Gibbings ROGERS, Victor Alfred Baden - CBE MSc FREng FRAeS FIMechE CEng 1926 - 2015 Vic Rogers, retired, formerly Group & Technical Director of Westland plc, died on 23 January aged 88 years. Vic joined Fairey Aviation’s inspection department as a shop boy at the age of 15 becoming a Junior Inspector before transitioning through craft apprentice to the graduate stream as an Aeronautical Engineering Apprentice. In 1946 he was awarded an SBAC scholarship to attend the newly formed College of Aeronautics at Cranfield, gaining a Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering (DCAe) with Distinction in Aircraft Design. Returning to Fairey in 1948, Vic joined the new Helicopter section playing a key role within the Stress Office. He was instrumental in establishing a sound analytical approach to stress and dynamic analysis and other technical challenges within the emerging field of helicopter design with specific responsibility for stress and dynamics development throughout the Fairey Rotodyne programme. During the 1960s, in line with British government policy, the early work undertaken by Fairey, Bristol & Saunders-Roe was consolidated into Westland Aircraft Ltd. Vic moved to Westland Helicopters in Yeovil as Deputy Chief Designer in 1963 and was appointed Chief Designer in 1966. Responsible for the initial development and flight programme for the Westland Lynx, Vic was appointed Technical Director in 1972. He joined the Westland board in 1980 and retained responsibility for technical issues until he retired in 1988. Vic also served on multiple industry boards and committees associated with design and airworthiness standards. Joining the Royal Aeronautical Society in 1944, Vic was elected a Fellow in 1963.
