Abstract

The aerodynamic design and analysis on advanced propeller with blade sweep was performed for recent turboprop aircraft. HS1 airfoil series are selected as a advanced propeller blade airfoil. Adkins method is used for aerodynamic design and performance analysis with respect to the design point. Adkins method is based on the vortex-blade element theory which design the propeller to satisfy the condition for minimum energy loss. Propeller geometry is generated by varying chord length and pitch angle at design point of target aircraft. Advanced propeller is designed by apply the modified chord length, the tip sweep which is based on the geometry of conventional propeller. The aerodynamic characteristics of the designed Advanced propeller were verified by CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic) and evaluated to be properly designed.

깃끝단 후퇴각을 가지는 최신 터보프롭 항공기의 프로펠러 블레이드에 대한 공력설계 및 해석을 수행하였다. 프로펠러 형상 설계를 위한 익형은 HS1 계열을 적용하였다. 와류-깃요소 이론(Vortex-Blade element theory)을 기반으로 하고 최소에너지 손실 조건을 만족하는 Adkins의 방법을 적용하여 Conventional 프로펠러 블레이드에 대한 공력설계 및 성능해석을 하였다. 목표 항공기의 설계점에서 코드 길이와 피치각을 변경해 가며 프로펠러 형상을 생성하였다. Conventional 프로펠러 블레이드 형상 정보를 기반으로 코드 길이, 깃끝단 후퇴각을 수정 적용하여 최신 프로펠러를 설계하였다. 전산유체역학을 이용한 설계된 최신 프로펠러 공력특성 분석을 통하여 최신 프로펠러가 적절하게 설계되었음을 확인하였다.
