  • Abstract Effect of Interactional
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: EFFECT OF INTERACTIONAL AERODYNAMICS ON COMPUTATIONAL AEROACOUSTICS OF SIKORSKY'S NOTIONAL X2 PLATFORM Ian Kevin Bahr Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering, 2020 Thesis directed by: Professor James Baeder A. James Clark School of Engineering Department of Aerospace Engineering An in-house acoustics code, ACUM, was used in conjunction with full vehicle CFD/CSD coupling to create a computational aeroacoustic framework to investigate the effect of aerodynamic interactions on the acoustic prediction of a compound coaxial helicopter. The full vehicle CFD/CSD was accomplished by using a high- fidelity computational fluid dynamics framework, HPCMP CREATETM-AV Helios, combined with an in-house computational structural dynamics solver to simulate the helicopter in steady forward flight. A notional X2TD helicopter consisting of a coaxial rotor, airframe and pusher propeller was used and split into three simulation cases: isolated coaxial and propeller, airframe and full helicopter configuration to investigate each component's affect on the others noise as well as the total noise. The primary impact on the acoustic prediction was the inclusion of the airframe in the CFD simulation as it affected both coaxial rotors as well as the propeller. It was found that the propeller and coaxial rotors had negligible impact on each other. EFFECT OF INTERACTIONAL AERODYNAMICS ON COMPUTATIONAL AEROACOUSTICS OF SIKORSKY'S NOTIONAL X2 PLATFORM by Ian Kevin Bahr Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science 2020 Advisory Committee: Dr. James Baeder, Chair/Advisor Dr.

  • Design and Performance of Lift-Offset Rotorcraft for Short-Haul Missions
    Design and Performance of Lift-Offset Rotorcraft for Short-Haul Missions Wayne Johnson Aeromechanics Branch National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California [email protected] Alex M. Moodie and Hyeonsoo Yeo Aeroflightdynamics Directorate (AMRDEC) U.S. Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The design and performance of compound helicopters utilizing lift-offset rotors are examined, in the context of short-haul, medium-size civil and military missions. The analysis tools used are the comprehensive analysis CAMRAD II and the sizing code NDARC. Following correlation of the comprehensive analysis with existing lift-offset aircraft flight test data, the rotor performance model for the sizing code was developed, and an initial estimate was made of the rotor size and key hover and cruise flight conditions. The rotor planform and twist were optimized for those conditions, and the sizing code rotor performance model updated. Two models for estimating the blade and hub weight of lift-offset rotors are discussed. The civil and military missions are described, along with the aircraft design assumptions. The aircraft are sized for 30 passengers or 6600 lb payload, with a range of 300 nm. Civil and military aircraft designs are described for each of the rotor weight models. Disk loading and blade loading were varied to optimize the designs, based on gross weight and fuel burn. The influence of technology is shown, in terms of rotor hub drag and rotor weight. and the rotor efficiency and lift capability steadily INTRODUCTION.

ABSTRACT This report is intended to assist the planning of intracity helicopter systems so that current operations can both provide an alternate airport access mede and promote future intercity operations. A major aspect of the included study was the development of an interurban helicopter cost model having the capability of selecting an efficient helicopter network for a given city in terms of service and total operating costs. This model is based upon the relationship between total and direct operating costs and the number of block hours of helicopter operation. The cost model is compiled in terms of a computer program which simulates the operation of an intracity helicopter fleet over a given network. When l applied to specific urban areas, the model produces results in terms of a break-even air passenger market penetration rate, which is the percent J of the air travelers in each of those areas that must patronize the 1 helicopter network to make it break even commercially.

  • New Rotary Wing Technologies Dr Carlo Kopp
    New rotary wing technologies Dr Carlo Kopp Rotary wing technology like most aerospace technologies has evolved slowly since the end of the Cold War. Without the imperative of a well identified threat there has been little political or bureaucratic interest in maintaining the technological advantage the West held over all nations in 1991. heli & uv pacific 2010 At the end of the Cold War, the United States held a commanding advantage in most conventional rotary wing areas, with the Europeans lagging but closely behind, and the Soviets behind in all areas other than heavy lift helicopters. At that time the US had two new programs in development, the V-22 Osprey, which was to herald a generation of new tiltrotor technology designs, and the RAH-66 Comanche Scout helicopter which was to have been the vehicle for new rotor technologies, and a very low signature or ‘stealth’ design. Two decades later the Comanche is ‘dead’ and the V-22, after a very painful and protracted development cycle, is only now achieving credible operational maturity. Most of the military helicopter types remaining in production in the US are derivatives or variants of Cold War era designs. Europe is faring better, as it has a generation of new rotary wing designs now in production, using composite structural materials extensively, but these vehicles are in aerodynamic and propulsion Sikorsky X2. terms just as conventional as their trans-atlantic siblings. Much the same can be said of the latest The principal impediment to faster helicopters has designs in Asia. been the retreating blade stall effect, inherent in In terms of mainstream production helicopter single rotor designs, and often the reason why designs it would be fair to describe the area as fast helicopters are also equipped with short span largely stagnant.
