We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft. -

R&T Activities on Composite Structures
PUBLIC RELEASE R&T activities on composite structures for existing and future military A/C platforms at Airbus DS, Military Aircraft Mircea Calomfirescu, Rainer Neumaier, Thomas Körwien, Kay Dittrich Airbus Defence and Space GmbH Rechliner Str. 1 85077 Manching GERMANY [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper gives a short overview on the state of the art in composite aerostructures for civil and military aircraft. Major challenges are highlighted in this context and the requirements from military aircraft point of view are illustrated, derived from existing and future military aircraft perspectives. The main objective of the paper is to present the R&T activities in the aerostructure research program called FFS, advanced aerostructures. The activities range here from structural bonding, advanced radomes, new thermoplastic composite technologies and new materials and structures for low observability purposes. A brief insight is given to each of the topic highlighting the challenges and approaches, finishing with a summary of future trends and emerging technologies. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Composites offer several advantages over metallic aerostructures in civil as well as in military aircraft industry including reduced weight, less maintenance effort and costs due to “corrosion-free” composites and a superior fatigue behaviour compared to aluminium. The thermal expansion is much less and the material waste (“buy to fly ratio”) is more advantageous compared to aluminium structures. However, these advantages come along with higher material and manufacturing costs. For the prepreg technology for example the material has to be stored at -18°C, energy and investment intensive autoclaves are necessary and for quality assurance 100% non-destructive testing (NDT) is required in contrast to aluminium structures. -

C. 20591 14.Sponsoring Agency Code 15.Supplementary Notes I6.Abstract Flight 366, a Boeing 720B, on a proficiency check flight, yawed and rolled out of control, and crashed while in the process of executing a 3-engine missed- approach from a simulated engine-out ILS instrument approach. The five crew- members and only occupants died in the crash. The weather conditions at Ontario were 600 feet overcast, with 3/4-mile visibility in fog, haze, and smoke. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the aircraft rudder hydraulic actuator support fitting. The failure of the fitting resulted in the inapparent loss Of left rudder control which, under the conditions of this flight, precluded the pilotk ability to maintain directional control during a simlated engine-out missed- approach.
