  • Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Incorporates Many Significant Technological Enhancements Derived from Predecessor Development Programs
    AIAA AVIATION Forum 10.2514/6.2018-3368 June 25-29, 2018, Atlanta, Georgia 2018 Aviation Technology, Integration, and Operations Conference F-35 Air Vehicle Technology Overview Chris Wiegand,1 Bruce A. Bullick,2 Jeffrey A. Catt,3 Jeffrey W. Hamstra,4 Greg P. Walker,5 and Steve Wurth6 Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, Fort Worth, TX, 76109, United States of America The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II incorporates many significant technological enhancements derived from predecessor development programs. The X-35 concept demonstrator program incorporated some that were deemed critical to establish the technical credibility and readiness to enter the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) program. Key among them were the elements of the F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing propulsion system using the revolutionary shaft-driven LiftFan® system. However, due to X- 35 schedule constraints and technical risks, the incorporation of some technologies was deferred to the SDD program. This paper provides insight into several of the key air vehicle and propulsion systems technologies selected for incorporation into the F-35. It describes the transition from several highly successful technology development projects to their incorporation into the production aircraft. I. Introduction HE F-35 Lightning II is a true 5th Generation trivariant, multiservice air system. It provides outstanding fighter T class aerodynamic performance, supersonic speed, all-aspect stealth with weapons, and highly integrated and networked avionics. The F-35 aircraft

  • Alternative to High-Speed Helicopters Or Tilt-Rotor Aircraft
    The Moller Skycar: An Simple, Low-cost Alternative to High-Speed Helicopters or Tilt-rotor Aircraft Why are all the major helicopter companies trying to build faster helicopters? Obviously the short answer is money. A representative from Piasecki says "The military will spend $40 billion over the next 20 years recapitalizing its (helicopter) fleet." Helicopters Historically, vertical flight has required a compromise between hover performance and forward speed. Low disk loading aircraft, such as helicopters, fall on the left of the graph below, along with their desirable attributes (hover efficiency, low speed controllability, low downwash, and hover endurance). Higher disk loading aircraft, such as Harriers and the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), trade off decreased hovering capabilities for speed and increased operating costs. Enablers for advances in helicopter technology are primarily in aircraft engineering and control systems. Now, rotor vibrations can be reduced using “active control”, which consists of placing sensors around the helicopter to detect the onset of vibration and then using force generators on various parts of the frame to vibrate in such a way that they cancel out the original tremors. Advanced computer modeling has also made it possible to design more efficient rotors. Additional propellers provide additional forward thrust and increase speed and/or assist with braking. Computerized “fly-by-wire” controls allow these new helicopters to be flown relatively easily. For example, the Sikorsky X2 incorporates several new technologies and has successfully demonstrated them in a flight environment. These technologies include an integrated fly-by-wire system that allows the engine/rotor/propulsor system to operate efficiently, with full control of rotor rpm throughout the flight envelope, high lift-to-drag rigid blades, low drag hub fairings, and Active Vibration Control.

The Cardinal is a Super Short Takeoff and Landing (SSTOL) aircraft which attempts to fill this gap. The major goal of this airplane design is to fulfill the desire for center-city to center-city travel by utilizing river “barges” for short takeoffs and landings to avoid construction of new runways or heliports.

Postfach 510645, D-5000 K8ln, Germany TILT ROTOR V/STOL AIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGY L. Kingston, Director of Research J. DeTore, Group Engineer, Advanced V/STOL Bell Helicopter Textron 1.0 Abstract This paper summarizes current tilt rotor technology and discusses the operation­ al concept of this class aircraft. The basis for selecting the tilt rotor from a spectrum of V/STOL aircraft options spanning the subsonic speed range is presented. The development of tilt rotor technology starting with the XV-3 Convertiplane pro­ gram is reviewed resulting in a summary of the rationale behind the configuration of the XV-15. Descriptions of the XV-15 aircraft and its present program are in­ cluded. Future applications are discussed and the role of an operational demon­ strator aircraft is identified. Conclusions are presented concerning projected tilt rotor productivity, current tilt rotor technology status, and future steps. An extensive list of reference~ is provided. 2.0 Introduction Bell Helicopter Textron is currently preparing the XV-15 Tilt Rotor Research Aircraft, Figure 1, for its first flight. The effort is the culmination of a period of development of tilt rotor technology begun in the 1950 1 s with the XV-3 Converti­ plane. The tilt rotor aircraft is the one of several V/STOL aircraft options which promises the greatest improvement in productivity over the helicopter.

  • Proposed Special Condition for Small-Category VTOL Aircraft
    SPECIAL CONDITION Doc. No: SC-VTOL-01 Issue: 1 (proposed) Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Date: 15 October 2018 Aircraft Proposed Special Condition for small-category VTOL aircraft Introductory note The following Special Condition has been classified as an important Special Condition and as such shall be subject to public consultation, in accordance with EASA Management Board decision 12/2007 dated 11 September 2007, Article 3 (2.) of which states: "2. Deviations from the applicable airworthiness codes, environmental protection certification specifications and/or acceptable means of compliance with Part 21, as well as important special conditions and equivalent safety findings, shall be submitted to the panel of experts and be subject to a public consultation of at least 3 weeks, except if they have been previously agreed and published in the Official Publication of the Agency. The final decision shall be published in the Official Publication of the Agency." Statement of Issue The Agency has received a number of requests for the type certification of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, which differ from conventional rotorcraft or fixed-wing aircraft. In the absence of certification specifications for the type certification of this type of product, a complete set of dedicated technical specifications in the form of a special condition for VTOL aircraft has been developed. This special condition addresses the unique characteristics of these products and prescribes airworthiness standards for the issuance of the type certificate, and changes to this type certificate, for a person- carrying VTOL aircraft in the small category, with lift/thrust units used to generate powered lift and control.
