Abstract

In this study, a small-scaled test system for a tip jet rotor was developed to contribute to the research on unmanned compound rotorcraft. The performance and dynamic characteristics of the tip jet rotor were investigated using the test system. The diameter of the tip jet rotor was set to 2m in consideration of the size of the test site and the pneumatic supply capacity of the. The rotating speed of the rotor was controlled by the pressure of the compressed air. The thrust and forces during the rotor rotation were measured using a load measuring device. A hydraulic actuator was installed for the dynamic test and full-bridge strain gages were attached to the root of each blade to measure the flap, lag, and torsion-wise responses generated when the rotor is excited by the actuator. The performance and dynamic characteristic tests were conducted at various rotor speeds and blade pitches. In order to check the validity of the test results, the results were also compared with the CAMRAD II analysis.

본 연구에서는 무인복합형 회전익기 연구의 일환으로 축소형 Tip Jet 로터 시험장치를 개발하였으며, 이를 이용하여 Tip Jet 로터에 대한 성능 및 동특성 연구를 수행하였다. 축소로터는 시험장 여건 및 공압조건 등을 고려하여 2m급이 되도록 하였으며, 압축공기를 이용하여 구동된다. 축소로터의 회전속도는 압축공기의 압력을 이용하여 조절되며, 별도의 하중측정부를 두어 회전 시 발생하는 추력과 각 방향의 하중 데이터를 획득하게 된다. 동특성 시험을 위해 별도의 유압 가진기가 장착되어 있으며, 로터 가진 시 발생하는 블레이드의 flap, lag 및 torsion 방향에 대한 동적 응답을 확인하기 위해, 각 블레이드의 익근부에는 full-bridge strain gage를 부착하였다. 성능 및 동특성 시험은 로터 회전수 및 블레이드 피치각을 변경해가며 실시되었다. 아울러 시험 결과의 유효성을 확인하기 위해 CAMRAD II 해석 결과와 비교하였다.
