摘要:
为分析旋翼转速变化对飞行品质的影响,建立耦合了发动机动态特性的直升机飞行动力学模型。首先,建立发动机气动热力学模型与旋翼飞行力学模型。在此基础上,建立包含发动机动态特性,直升机各部件气动力特性与部件间气动干扰的直升机飞行动力学模型。最后,以UH-60A直升机为样例直升机,研究发动机动力涡轮输出引起的旋翼转速变化对直升机飞行品质的影响。研究表明:旋翼转速降低后,直升机需用功率减少,同时旋翼反扭矩与总距杆量增加。扭矩特性、高度特性与总距偏航耦合飞行品质均随旋翼转速下降而恶化。直升机滚转、俯仰与偏航3个通道带宽随旋翼转速降低而增大。
Abstract:To analyze the impact of rotor speed changes on handling quality, a helicopter flight dynamics model coupled with engine dynamic characteristics was established. Then, an engine aerodynamic thermodynamic model and a rotor flight mechanics model were established. On this basis, a helicopter flight dynamics model includeing the dynamic characteristics of the engine, aerodynamic characteristics of various components of the helicopter, and aerodynamic interference between components was established. Taking the UH-60A helicopter as an example, the impact of rotor speed changes caused by engine power turbine output on helicopter handling quality was studied. Research showed that when the rotor speed decreased, the power required by the helicopter decreased, while the rotor counter torque and total pitch increased. The torque characteristics, altitude characteristics, and total pitch yaw coupled with the handling quality all deteriorated with the decrease of rotor speed. The bandwidth of the three channels of helicopter roll, pitch, and yaw increased as the rotor speed decreased.
