Abstract

The helicopter initial design model was established by using the latest weight estimation equations based on the Tishchenko's methodology through the study existing initial design tools. The sequential decomposition method is used to reduce analysis time in the sizing. Empirical parameters of the weight estimation equation were also extracted from numerical and regression analysis for a helicopter database. Design input and output values were compared with the RISPECT design tool. Finally, comparison of the re-design resulting for several existing helicopters was presented and showed the good agreement within less than 5% in the weight estimation and main rotor sizing. Established initial design model was proved to be effectively used as initial design tool.

본 연구에서는 기존의 헬리콥터 초기 설계 도구를 분석하여 단점을 확인하였으며, 추정식을 유도하고 최신화하여 설계 모델을 정립해 초기 설계도구의 우세성과 용이성을 제고하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Tishchenko 방법론을 기반으로 최신 추정식을 유도하여 정립하였으며, 사이징에서는 순차분해법을 이용하여 충실도를 높이고 해석에 소요되는 시간을 줄이고자 하였다. 또한, 정립된 최신화된 경험식에 적용 가능한 경험적 파라미터를 헬기 데이터베이스를 이용한 회귀분석과 수치해석을 통해서 추출하여 설계 시 발생되는 오차를 줄이고 사용자가 어렵지 않게 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 이를 통해 도출한 연구 결과는 기존의 설계 도구인 RISPECT 개념 설계 도구와 비교하여 설계 모델이 타당함을 확인하였으며, 기존의 운용되고 있는 다양한 중량군의 헬리콥터를 재설계한 중량 및 형상 계산 결과가 평균 5%이하의 오차를 보임으로 초기 설계 도구로 효율적으로 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
