Abstract
In Europe and USA, new programs called GRC(Green Rotorcraft) and SRW (Subsonic Rotary Wing program) respectively, have been currently underway for developing the next generation rotorcraft. The final goal is to develope fuel-efficient/environmental-friendly tilt-rotor civilian rotorcraft, which can partly replace short-range regional aircrafts. Also for safe operation, the new rotorcraft technology is cooperated with the new air transport management(ATM) system, called SESAR(Single European Sky ATM Research) and NextGen(Next Generation Air Transport System) in Europe and USA. In addition to achieve the final goal, the tilt-rotor aircraft, they are trying to improve the performance of conventional helicopters by adopting more efficient propulsion system, active rotor system, and reducing internal and external noise. Especially in GRC program of Europe, the environmental factors such as noise, fuel efficiency, reduction of emission gas(CO2, NOx), are focused for the new technologies.
