Trade-off study results and the rationale for the final selection of an existing modern four-bladed rotor system that can be adapted for installation on the Rotor Systems Research Aircraft (RSRA) are reported. The results of the detailed integration studies, parameter change studies, and instrumentation studies and the recommended plan for development and qualification of the rotor system is also given. Its parameter variants, integration on the RSRA, and support of ground and flight test programs are also discussed.
The problems of airframe structural dynamic representation and effects of coupled rotor/airframe vibration are discussed. Several finite element computer programs (including NASTRAN) and methods for idealization and computation of airframe natural modes and frequencies and forced response are reviewed. Methods for obtaining a simultaneous rotor and fuselage vibratory response, determining effectiveness of vibration control devices, and energy methods for structural optimization are also discussed. Application of these methods is shown for the vibration prediction of the model 347 helicopter.
