This paper describes the analysis method about the dynamic characteristics and vibratory load through HDS(Helicopter Design Study). To analyze the dynamic characteristics of helicopter rotor blade, the natural frequencies and modes are calculated according to rotor operational speed(Ω). Generally the proximity of rotor natural frequency and N times of rotor operational speed is a dominant component to determine the helicopter vibration. Also we can predict the airframe vibration by calculating the airload of rotating blade exactly. We expect to establish the design procedure of rotor dynamics by describing the two major analysis methods necessary to rotor design.

This paper describes the design and analysis technology of composite flexure and composite paddle-type blade which are all key technologies on hingeless rotor system. Through replacing the existing metal or engineering plastic flexure part with composite part, Several required structural analysis were accomplished, which are static analysis by using NASTRAN and dynamic analysis by using FLIGHTLAB. The dynamic characteristics of composite hingeless hub attached with paddle-type blade was also investigated. Further more, small-scaled paddle-type blade was designed using froude scaled properties of existing full size blade. Through this design procedure of composite paddle-type blade, the structural design method was achieved. These results will be applied to accomplishing current project named as "the development of next-generation helicopter rotor system."
