Abstract

In order to relieve limitation of flight operation under icing condition and verify its operation in adverse weather condition for Surion, military helicopter developed in Korea, airworthiness certification in icing condition is required. The process of Surion icing certification should be considered by implementation of four methods by step such as CFD analysis, simulated flight tests, artificial icing flight tests, and natural icing flight tests. For Surion icing flight tests, these are required 20~30 sorties and 20~23 hours in artificial icing condition; 20~30 sorties and 20~22 hours in natural icing condition. In addition, to proceed with efficient flight tests, it is necessary to implement artificial icing flight tests in LWC $0.5{\sim}1.0g/m^3;$ natural icing flight tests in less than LWC $0.5g/m^3$.

국내개발 헬기인 수리온의 악기상 시 운용능력을 입증하고 결빙하 운용 제한 사항을 해제하기 위하여 결빙 감항인증이 요구되고 있다. 군용헬기인 수리온의 결빙 감항인증 절차는 유사 무기체계인 UH-60과 AH-64의 사례와 S/W 기술의 성숙도를 보았을 때, 전산해석${\rightarrow}$모의결빙형상 비행시험${\rightarrow}$인공 결빙 비행시험${\rightarrow}$자연 결빙 비행시험의 4가지 방법에 의한 단계화된 추진이 고려되고 있다. 수리온의 최적 비행시험 소티와 비행시간은 인공 결빙 비행시험 20~30소티 및 20~23시간과 자연 결빙 비행시험 20~30소티 및 20~22시간이 요구되며, 효율적인 결빙 감항인증 비행시험을 위해서는 LWC $0.5{\sim}1.0g/m^3$범위의 대기온도 조건은 인공 결빙 비행시험을 추진하고, LWC $0.5g/m^3$이하의 대기온도 조건에서는 자연 결빙 비행시험이 필요하다.
