Abstract

Process of helicopter development is divided in design, manufacture and test & evaluation phase. Test & evaluation is performed step by step in order of component test, rig test, system ground test and flight test. After completing ground test and before first flight, US military specification requires 50hrs-PFAT in order to assure flight safety. PFAT is the test which requires tie-down and severe load imposition and it needs special ground test vehicle which is similar to helicopter prototype as well as much cost and period. In case of KUH, we have performed tailored PFAT considering KUH development environment. In this paper, we propose a proper way to perform the PFAT in accordance with development environment by giving KHU PFAT procedure and result.

헬기의 개발 과정은 설계, 제작 및 시험평가로 구분될 수 있으며, 시험평가는 구성품 시험, Rig 시험, 체계 지상시험 및 비행시험의 순서로 단계적으로 수행된다. 지상시험이 종료되고 최초 비행에 앞서, 비행 안전성을 담보하기 위해 미군사규격은 50시간 비행전 수락시험을 요구하고 있다. 비행전 수락시험은 헬기를 지상결박하여 가혹한 하중을 부과하는 시험으로서, 이의 수행을 위해서는 헬기 시제기와 유사한 별도의 지상 시험 시제기가 필요하며, 많은 비용과 기간이 소요되는 시험이다. KUH의 경우 국내 개발 환경을 고려하여 미군사규격의 요구도를 변형 후 수행하였으며, 본 논문은 KUH 비행전 수락시험의 절차 및 결과를 통하여 헬기 개발 환경에 따른 적절한 비행전 수락시험 수행 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
