Abstract

This paper describes the test carried out on an experimental study of fuselage drag and stability characteristics of a helicopter configuration and the test techniques developed for the testing and the lessons learned in the Agency for Defense Development Low Speed Wind Tunnel(ADD-LSWT). The main objective of this test is to determine the drag and stability characteristics of helicopter configurations according to the various configuration changes. The fuselage model with a highly modular structure is a representation of 1:8 scale of the external contour of the conceptual design helicopter configuration with rotating main rotor hub including blade stubs capable of rotating up to 500 rpm. The test results are compared with the available similar data and fair to good agreement is obtained.

국방과학연구소 풍동실험실에서는 회전익 항공기 개발에 소요되는 관련 풍동시험 기법의 확립과 형상연구 관련 시험자료의 확보를 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구는 회전익 항공기 동체구성품의 형상조합에 따른 항력증분과 안정성 평가를 위한 공기역학적 특성의 추출을 목적으로 하였으며, 풍동시험에는 모듈화된 1:8 축척의 회전익 항공기 동체형상과 500 rpm으로 회전하는 로터허브의 부분모형이 사용되었다. 시험결과들을 기존의 유사 항공기 시험결과들과 비교하였으며, 기존 연구결과들과 잘 부합됨을 확인하였다.
