摘要:
共轴刚性旋翼直升机前飞状态的纵向动稳定性特征受旋翼设计参数影响较大。针对刚性旋翼主要设计参数进行计算分析。采用CAMRAD Ⅱ建立XH-59A共轴高速直升机模型,探讨旋翼桨叶挥舞频率、变距-挥舞、桨叶质量分布、桨叶重心-气动中心(CG-AC)位置、扭转刚度等对共轴刚性旋翼直升机纵向长周期模态的影响,计算结果表明:刚性桨叶的挥舞频率越高,旋翼迎角不稳定性越强,且随前飞速度增强;正的变距-挥舞耦合、较大挥舞惯性距、桨叶剖面重心(CG)位于气动中心(AC)之前等有效降低迎角不稳定性,可有效改善共轴刚性旋翼直升机纵向动稳定性;较大的扭转刚度会抑制桨叶扭转模态,从而抑制桨叶重心-气动中心对纵向长周期模态的影响。
Abstract:The longitudinal dynamic stability characteristics of a coaxial rigid rotor helicopter in forward flight are greatly affected by the rotor design parameters. The main design parameters of advancing blade concept rotor were calculated and analyzed. CAMRAD Ⅱ was used to establish XH-59A coaxial high speed helicopter model. The effects of rotor blade flapping frequency, pitch-flapping, blade mass distribution, the position between blade center of gravity-aerodynamic center (CG-AC) and torsional stiffness on the longitudinal long period modes of coaxial helicopter were analyzed. The results showed that: the higher flapping frequency of a rigid blade indicated the stronger rotor angle-of-attack instability and increased with forward flight speed. Positive pitch-flap coupling, large flapping inertia moment and center of gravity (CG) located in front of aerodynamic center (AC) effectively reduced angle of attack instability for rigid rotor and improved the longitudinal dynamic stability of the helicopter; the large torsional stiffness suppressed the blade torsional modes, thus suppressing the influence of the blade CG-AC on the longitudinal long-period modes.
