Abstract

An APU(Auxiliary Power Unit) for helicopters has been developed in Korea and tested at the AETF(altitude engine test facility) in KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) for the purpose of the military qualification. A cell correlation test was performed before the official test, and the results are within the tolerance. The APU has the capability of supplying electric power as well as compressed air to the helicopters. It was tested at bleed extraction conditions, electric power extraction conditions, and maximum continuous concurrent power conditions within the entire helicopter flight envelop. Some special test equipments were implemented for the measurement of air flowrate, electric power and so on. The tests were successfully performed and their results satisfy the requirements of the helicopters.
