Abstract
In this study, flight tests were conducted to measure vibrations transferred from the helicopter's bomb rack to the external store. Hovering, S-turns, accelerating, decelerating, ascending, descending, and straight flight were performed according to the flight envelope. Vibration data was measured with 3-axial accelerometers mounted on the external store and converted into PSD(Power Spectral Density) using commercial data software. To identify the vibration level, GRMS values were calculated for all flight conditions. The results confirmed that the measured vibration levels were significantly lower than the MIL-STD-810G vibration profile. Finally, a new vibration test specification was proposed using the VRS(Vibration Response Spectrum) method, which is expected to aid in the development of an optimized design for the external store.
