Introduction of the M-85 High-Speed Rotorcraft Concept Robert H
t NASA Technical Memorandum 102871 Introduction of the M-85 High-Speed Rotorcraft Concept Robert H. Stroub '-] ,t 0 January 1991 National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASATechnicalMemorandum102871 Introduction of the M-85 High-Speed Rotorcraft Concept Robert H. Stroub, Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California January 1991 NationalAeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center Moffett Field, California 94035-1000 ABSTRACT As a result of studying possible requirements for high-speed rotorcrafl and studying many high- speed concepts, a new high-speed rotorcraft concept, designated as M-85, has been derived. The M-85 is a helicopter that is reconfigured to a fixed-wing aircraft for high-speed cruise. The concept was derived as an approach to enable smooth, stable conversion between fixed-wing and rotary-wing while retaining hover and low-speed flight characteristics of a low disk loading helicopter. The name, M-85, reflects the high-speed goal of 0.85 Mach Number at high altitude. For a high-speed rotorcraft, it is expected that a viable concept must be a cruise-efficient, fixed-wing aircraft so it may be attractive for a multiplicity of missions. It is also expected that a viable high-speed rotorcraft con- cept must be cruise efficient first and secondly, efficient in hover. What makes the M-85 unique is the large circular hub fairing that is large enough to support the aircraft during conversion between rotary-wing and fixed-wing modes. With the aircraft supported by this hub fairing, the rotor blades can be unloaded during the 100% change in rotor rpm. With the blades unloaded, the potential for vibratory loads would be lessened. -
