A Structural Design and Manufacture of Paddle type Small-scaled Composite Blade for Hingeless Rotor System of Helicopter

헬리콥터 힌지없는 로터 시스템용 패들형 축소 복합재료 블레이드 구조 설계 및 제작

This paper introduces the development procedure of paddle type small-scaled composite rotor blade for helicopter hingeless rotor system. Paddle type composite blade design was done by using CORDAS program developed by KARI and dynamic analysis for hingeless hub with blade is done by using FLIGHTLAB which is commercial software for helicopter comprehensive analysis. The procedure to manufacture complicated shape of paddle type blade tip was developed and composite blades were manufactured after establishing the effective curing method. Through this research, the development technology of composite rotor blade with complex aerodynamic shape were accumulated and these will be applied to the related research field, for example, full size composite blade development, etc.
