Helicopter noise prediction is an essential process for developing low noise helicopter technology. In this paper, the noise prediction method is developed using the helicopter integrated performance analysis program CAMRAD-II and in-house noise analysis code. In addition, the analytical technique was verified by analyzing blade-vortex interaction noise, which is the biggest cause of helicopter noise. In order to predict the actual helicopter noise, the noise analysis was performed for the flyover and approach condition, which is the standard measurement condition of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Finally, we confirmed the suitability of the analytical method through comparison and analysis with the flight test results.

헬리콥터는 이착륙이 쉬운 점과 단거리 기동성, 그리고 광범위한 용도에 쓰이는등의 이점 때문에 세계시장에서 그 수요가 늘고 있는 항공 수송수단의 일종인 것은 누구나 안다. 다만 헬리콥터는 비행중의 소음이 심한 결점이 있었는데 이 방면의 개선에 의해 소음이 획기적으로 줄고 있어 ''''조용한 헬리콥터''''의 현재와 미래에 대하여 알아 보기로 했다.

The vibration and noise reduction issue is very important in helicopter since the thrust and flight control force of helicopter are generated by rotating drive system. In past, there was a passive method to reduce vibration and noise to focus on specified frequency. Now, there are various active method to reduce vibration and noise due to technology development. This paper describes the worldwide technology trend of vibration and noise active control in helicopter. At introduction, generalmethod of vibration and noise reduction.

헬리콥터, 팬, 프로펠러, 터이빈같이 회전익에서 유체역학적 소음이 발생하는 장치의 설계에 있어서는 공기 역학적 성능 분석과 함께 소음에 대한 해석이 절대적으로 필요하다. 근래에 들어와서 소음에 대한 관심이 급격히 증가하고 공항 주변에서의 국제적인 규약들은 낮은 소음 수준(low noise level)을 규정하고 있으며, 이에 따라서 소음을 감소시키려는 연구가 매우 활발히 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 더욱이 컴퓨터의 냉각 팬을 비롯한 공조기기 및 산업기기에 사용되는 회전기계에서 발생되는 소음의 저감은 보다 더 쾌적한 환경을 요구하는 사회적 요구에 부합하면서 공력소음의 연구 분야가 더 넓어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 소음예측 방법중의 하나인 음향상사(acoustic analogy)를 주파수 영역 방법(frequency domain method)을 이용하여 헬리콥터 블레이드의 고속 충격소음(High Speed Impulsive Noise)을 해석한다. 고속 충격소음은 블레이드-와류 상호작용 소음과 더불어 헬리콥터의 지배적인 소음원으로서 깃끝 속도가 큰 전진 수평비행(forward level flight)또는 제자리 비행(hovering flight)시 발생하는 소음으로 블레이드의 깃끝 마하수(critical Mach number)보다 크거나 비슷할 경우 충격파의 교란에 의해서 일어나는 충격적인 소음을 말한다. 고속 충격소음은 고주파수 스펙트럼 성분과 큰 소음강도를 가지고 있기 때문에 날카로운 금속성의 소리를 내며 먼 거리까지 전파되는 특징을 가지고 있다.

The thickness, loading, and broadband noise generated from the trailing edge of the UH-1H main rotor are numerically compared each other. The Kocureck and Tangler's prescribed wake model is adopted to represent the wake geometry during the hovering motion. Three tip Mach numbers of $M_{T}$ = 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8, are selected to analyze the effects of different tip Mach numbers. At $M_{T}$ = 0.8, in considering the A-weighting and audible frequency band, the random noise is smaller than the tonal noises such as the thickness and the loading noise which have the low frequency characteristics. Especially most of the random noise frequency spread on the ultrasound region. On the other hand, below $M_{T}$ = 0.4, the band of random noise moves to the audible frequency region, and the random noise becomes larger than the tonal noise. It turns out that the random noise analysis of the rotor should be necessary at low speed operating condition.

In this paper the aeroacoustic characteristics of a helicopter main rotor system is measured by using a pair of scaled rotor blades. A low noise rotor test jig is developed for noise measurement and the rotational speed, thrust and torque are measured simultaneously in order to match the aerodynamic conditions with the full scale rotor. The accuracy of the force measurement device was checked through a calibration procedure. The measured thurst and torque with a 1.2m rotor are compared to the results of analytical prediction and showed that the thrust data at various rotational speed followed the prediction relatively well, but the torque data considered less accurate. It is also found that the background noise level of the test rig is sufficiently low, and the measured noise level from the rotor can be scaled with rotor tip speed. However, the Mach number dependancy and the directivity changes depend on the noise source characteristics.

This paper described the Performance test and sound characteristics of helicopter 'Tail-Fan' anti-torque system. In this research, Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) developed 'Tail-Fan' anti-torque system for a helicopter and carried out performance and sound capturing tests of even and uneven tail fans. The performance test is carried out and the noise signals which are generated during the test are saved with microphones at the same time. The performance test's results meet the design requirements. Tone-corrected perceived noise level is reduced by replacing the even product with the uneven one.
