I• INTRODUCTION

A. GENERAL

The helicopter design process, the subject of numerous

articles and studies is an evolving discipline that borders

on being an art. A successful design must balance the

user's needs and desires against practical capabilities.

With the introduction of composite materials and new

technologies, principally in rotor and engine performance,

significant advances have been made in helicopter capabil-

ities. In some instances, the performances of hybrid

helicopter designs rivals that of a similarly sized conven-

tional aircraft. For example, the YVX, a joint Boeing-Bellventure, will have the hover and low speed capabilities

of a helicopter while being able to cruise at 300 knots.

Viable commercial and military helicopter designs are

V only thirty years old. The first major use of helicopters

occurred during the Korean conflict. To put this in

perspective, the first large scale use of conventional type

aircraft was in World War I.

Helicopter design can proceed on a number of different

levels, ranging from comprehensive computer design programs

to preliminary analysis using simplifications of the basic

* performance equations. Each has its merit and place.

Computer-aided design provides a great deal of data.

10

Page 12: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

Generally, these programs integrate aircraft configuration

sizing, performance and weight calculations in an iterative

process. An example of a computer design program for heli-

copters is the Helicopter Sizing and Performance Computer

Program [HESCOMP], orginally developed by Boeing-Vertol

. for NASA. This program is currently used as a wide number

of institutions conducting studies in helicopter design.

On the opposite end of the spectrum would be sensitivity

design studies using the performance cquations. Surprisingly

v. accurate simplications of these equations can be made. This

provides the designer with an excellent method for doing

first cut preliminary helicopter sizing at a low cost.

B. OBJECTIVE

This report is an investigation of several of themethods employed in the preliminary design of a helicopter.

Conceptually, the report can be divided into three parts.

In the first section, a sensitivity analysis of the basic

performance equations is performed. The purpose here is to

ascertain where reasonable simplications can be made

that do not seriously degrade the accuracy of the result.

In the second section a graphical method of doing

parametric de&ign studies, known as Carpet Plots, is

developed. This method allows the user to formulate a

graphical solution matrix to meet the design criteria

specified for the helicopter. Carpet Plots are

11

particularly instructive since they give visual insightinto the interplay of the various design parameters.

In the last section, an overview of HESCOMP is given.

Programs are developed which enable a person to access

HESCOMP on the Naval Postgraduate School Main Frame IBM

C.i system.

II. SENSITIVITY ANALYSES OF BASIC HELICOPTER EQUATIONS

A. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM

In preliminary helicopter design, there Pre a number of

instances where a quick first cut analysis would be

extremely helpful. This is especially true in determining

the preliminary size of the helicopter required to meet

the specifications.

Historically, there are a number of variables in the

performance equations of helicopters which may be treated'UI

as constants. This may allow for significant simplifica-

tions and aid in the preliminary design process.

in this section, a sensitivity analysis of the per-

formance equations is done. In a sensitivity analysis,

each parameter [or variable] is varied in order to deter-

mine its effect on the equation. Variables which are

shown to have little effect may be treated as constants and

4. the equation simplified accordingly.

B. SOLIDITY"Solidity, a , is the fraction of the disk area that is

composed of blades. It is a function of b , the number

of blades, of a constant cord, c , at a radius, R:

In a hover, thrust equals weight; this allows us to

rewrite the power loading for the hover condition as

in

E,. COEFFICIENT OF THRUST AND POWER

The coefficient of thrust, CT , is a non-dimensional

coefficient which facilitates computations and comparisons:

CT a T T (2.S)

Similarly, a coefficient of power, C , has been

I established as:

No significant simplifications can be made to either of

these coefficients. However, it should be observed that

the coefficient of thrust is inversely proportional to the

square of the rotor tip velocity, while the coefficient of

power is inversely proportional to the cube.

Assuming all other factors being equal, increasing the

rotor tip velocity from 600 fps to 700 fps (an increase of

16.7 percent] will have the following result on these

coefficients.

F. HOVER POWER

The total power in a hover is made up of two terms,

profile power, Po , and induced power, Pi .

Utilizing black element theory the profile power

required to hover can be expressed as:

Po = a rdo p A(QR) 3 (2.7)

The induced power predicted by momentum theory is:

Donald M. Layton in Helicopter Performance, [Ref. 1],

found that for the optimum hover power, the induced power

is equal to twice the profile power. The analysis was

performed in the following manner.

By assuming constant weight, density, solidity, and anaverage profile drag coefficient, as well as a fixed

rotational velocity, equation (2.10) reduces to

C1P +r- C2 R2 (2.11)

where C1 and C2 are constants.

As equation (2.12) shows, profile power increases as

the square of the blade radius while the induced power

decreases with increasing blade radius.

The optimum hover power with respect to rotor radius

can be determined by taking the differential and setting it

equal to zero.

G. HELICOPTER SIZING

A simplified relationship between the total power

required, gross weight and rotor radius can be developed in

the following manner.

The total power required to hover equation for the main

rotor was developed in the preceding section and is

repeated here for clarity.

PT " i + P0 (2.9)

T K + ar Cdo PIT Vtip 2 (2.0)

In a hover, thrust equals weight. Solving equation

(2.11) for weight one obtains:

W3/2 a [PT - 1a Cdo PT VT 3 R -2 (2.13)

This equation may be further simplified if it is

assumed that the density, average profile drag coefficient

and tip velocity are constants; these are reasonable assump-

tions. Historically, the average profile drag coefficient

of a helicopter has been approximately 0.01. The operating

environment of today's helicopters, especially military,

is below 5,000 feet agl. This allows for the use of the

standard sea level value for density with little error.

Primarily, due to tip mach effects, the upper limit on the

rotor tip velocity is in the range of 700 fps.

18

Kautuk
Highlight
Kautuk
Rectangle
Kautuk
Rectangle
Page 20: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

The resulting equation with these assumptions incor-

porated into a constant, X , is:

W a [47.527 PT R - K bc] 2 / 3 (2.13)

Equation (2.13) can be further reduced when the order

of magnitude of the two terms is considered.

47.527 PT R >> K1 bc

Thus,

W ( [47.527 PT RJ2/ 3 (2.14)

To determine how accurate this simplification is, the

equation is used to approximate the total weight of a

number of helicopters for which the parameters are available.

As Table 2.1 indicates, the weight approximation formula

yields values within six percent of the actual total weight

of these helicopters.

"H. FIGURE OF MERIT

A figure of merit, FM , has been defined for the

helicopter as the ratio of the ideal rotor induced power to

the actual power required-to hover, with non-uniform inducedV.,veoiy

velocity, tip losses and profile drag power.

Page 23: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

Previous studies have shown that a figure of merit

between 0.70 and 0.80 is considered average.[Ref. 3]

If the induced power is between 70 and 80 percent of the

total power, the figure of merit will be approximately 0.7S.

With the figure of merit limited to values between

0.70 and 0.80, the following simplification can be made,

assuming the hover condition of thrust equaling weight and

standard sea level conditions:

FM - 32(2.16)T

For Navy helicopter design, the rotor radius has been

limited by flight deck spotting constraints to less than

30 feet; the exception to this is the H-3, R - 31 feet and

the H-53, R - 36 to 38 feet [depending on the model].

However, these two helicopters work almost exclusively from

large air dedicated ships such as the LPH, LHA and CV.

If the small deck operating assumption is made,

equation (2.16) can be further simplified to (assuming

R = 28 feet]:

(2.17)

An FM of 0.80 will yield a P to W relationship of:

PT 3/2 (2.18)

,II22

Page 24: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

while an N1 of 0.70 yields a relationship

= _ w3/2-P 3 (2. 19)

If equation (2.17) is solved utilizing the approximate

weight relationship developed earlier of

W 3/ 2 - 47.S27 PTR (2.14)

a value for the figure of merit of 0.707 is obtained. Thisis within the historical range of values.

I. TAIL ROTOR SIZING

A historical analysis of typical helicopters [Ref. 3),

shows the following empirical relationship for the tail

rotor radius

RT c 1.3 [1 - 1 1/2 [ft] (2.20)

when comparing the results of this equation with actual

tail rotor radius data, it was found that if a multipli-

cation factor of 1.2 is used vice 1.3 a better approximation

"is obtained. The results are tabulated in Table 2.2.

J. FORWARD FLIGHT POWER CONSIDERATIONS

SThe total power in forward flight consists of induced,

profile and parasite power. If the helicopter is a single

rotor vehicle, the tail rotor power should be taken into

etc.] for accurate calculations. However, a reasonable

approximation can be obtained by considering only the main

rotor and increasing this power figure by several percent

to account for these losses.

Figure 2.2 is a plot of the induced, profile, parasite

and total power curves for typical tail rotor helicopter.

Figure 2.2. Power Required Versus Forward Velocity

The induced power drops off rapidly with increasing

forward-velocity, whereas the parasite power increases

rapidly."Parasite power is the power required to overcome the

drag forces created by the aircraft's geometry. These drag

forces are due to pressure drag and skin friction.

Page 27: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

Parasite drag is extremely sensitive to the helicopter's

loading. It is generally a minimum for forward flight and

increases for sideways flight. Helicopters are generally

streamlined for forward flight and the flat ?late area is

a minimum in this direction. The equation for the parasite

power is:

P V f(2.21)p T f

The parasite power is a function of the cube of the

forward velocity. As such, with the advent of high speed

helicopters a great deal of consideration has been placed

on streamlining the geometric shape in order to reduce this

power requirement.

Blade element theory is commonly used to develop the

profile power equation for forward flight. An excellent

development of this equation is given in Reference 1.

The profile power equation in forward flight is:

Pof p A V [1 + 4.3 (2.22)

Equation (2.23) is a function primarily of the mainrotor geometry. The variable with the most significance

is the rotor tip velocity; increasing the tip velocity from

600 to 700 fps results in a 58.8 percent increase in

profile power [assuming other factors are constant].

26

Page 28: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

The induced power is a f'nction of the induced velocity.

In a hover, the total flow through the rotor system is

induced. As the forward velocity increases, the mass flow

* rate through the rotor disc increases due to the forward

translation of the helicopter. This reduces the induced

velocity.

The equation for the induced power requirements at all

forward velocities is:

P T . Vit (2.23)

where

At high forward velocities, the induced power required

can be approximated as:

The total power for forward flight is the sum of the

induced, profile and parasite powers.

Solving this equation for velocity results in:

Vf = [ ft/sec (2.31)

According to Carmona (Ref. 4], this corresponds to the

best endurance velocity.

K. DENSITY EFFECTS ON TOTAL POWER

The effect of density on the total power required in

forward flight is as follows:

The general operating altitudes of a helicopter are

below 10,000 feet. The corresponding ICAO STANDARD

ATMOSPHERE range for density is

p a 0.0023769 (lb sec2 /ft ] SSL

p = 0.0017553 (lb sec 2 /ft 4] at 10,000 feet

p/pSSL varies from 1 to .7385.

The effect on the components of PT are as follows:

Induced Power:

I/p/pSSL ->l to 1

This translates to a 35 percent increase in the induced

power.

Both parasite and profile powers are directly propor-

tional to the density ratio. Therefore, as you go up in

altitude both P0 and P are reduced.

III. CARPET PLOT DESIGN STUDY

A. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM

Preliminary helicopter design involves one with a wide

range of choices. For any given payload and performance

specifications, there a number of helicopter designs that

satisfy the requirements. The problem in the preliminary

design process is narrowing these possibilities and

selecting the design which will provide the best helicopter

for the mission.

Obviously, the operating environmental constraints help

to define the basic configuration. These constraints are

usually specified in the Request for Proposal [RFP], in the

case of a military helicopter. For example, typical

constraints placed on the design of a Navy helicopter are

the size of the ship deck and hangar from which it will be

operating, the requirement for a blade fold system, dual

engine configuration and IFR capability.

Even with these design constraints, there is still

a great deal of leeway. In order to insure that the best

helicopter design is selected, an appropriate number of

solutions satisfying the specifications should be inves-

tigated. Since each solution is generally characterizedby a different combination of design parameters, the

32

Page 34: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

selection, according to Greenfield [Ref. 5], can best be

made through a parametric study which allows for the

* optimization of many design parameters.

One method of parametric analysis used is Carpet Plots.

This method is based on the simultaneous graphical solution

* of the weight and hover performance equations. To this

solution set is added to the environmental constraints to

the helicopters size. This effectively brackets the area

of acceptable design solutions.

This method assumes that minimum gross weight is the

criterion by which the best [or optimum] design parameters

are selected.

B. ASSUMPTIONS

1. Airfoil used is a derivative of the NACA 0012

with the following mean approximate values from Reference S.

a - slope of airfoil section lift curve, dCt/da,

per rad.

a - 5.73

6 = blade section drag coefficient

6 0 = .009

62 =.3

2. a) The tail rotor radius is assumed to be .16

times the main rotor radius [Ref. 5].

33

Page 35: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

b) The distance between the rotors, or tail rotor

moment arm, ZTR is 1.19R [Ref. 5]. These ratios reflect

the values of maximum rotor diameter and overall length

specified as size limitations.

3. B - .97. Historical approximation (Ref. 7].

C. METHODOLOGY

In order to properly develop the weight and performance

equations required for a carpet plot design study, the

payload and performance specifications of the helicopter

are needed. This data is used to tailor the equations for

the design.

The equations will be developed here for a four-place

light helicopter. The equation development procedure is

applicable to other size helicopters; the development for a

medium helicopter, 20,000 lb weight class, is to be found

in Appendix B.

The following specification requirements which are

similar to those in Reference 5 will apply to this design:

1. The rotor diameter should be less than 35.2 feet.

2. The overall length should be less than 41.4 feet.

3. The gross weight of the helicopter should not

exceed 2,450 lbs.

4. The helicopter should be capable of hovering, out

of ground effect at 6,000 feet with an ambient air tem-

perature of 950F.

34

Page 36: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

3

S. The useful load at hover shall consist of, as a

minimum, 200 lbs for the pilot, 400 lbs of payload and

sufficient fuel to give the helicopter up to three hours

endurance at sea level conditions.

6. Maximum speed of at least 110 knots using Normal

Rated Power, at sea level.

7. Total Power Required at 6,000 feet and 95°F shall

be not more than 206.

D. HOVER EQUATIONS

1. The main rotor power required to hover out of

ground effect is

Total Main Rotor Power [Hover] - Rotor Profile Power + Rotor

Induced Power

PT = 1.13W I D -S SOBv"•'Tp/p°

(3.1)

+6WVT p/[o 6 + 2 Lo.iI2

At an altitude of 6,000 feet and a temperature of 950

PiPo / .749395 . Therefore, equation (1) can be simplified

to: -

PT6000/95oF = .035479W[DL] 1 / 2 (3.2)

+ .91971 [10]-5(1 + 1.80779 CLR 2 )W VT

Page 37: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

The tail rotor thrust required to counterbalance the

main rotor torque is:

T 550 PTR 550 PTTTR " TR VT "W (.r93.3)

where Z TR h;.s been defined as 1.19R . With RTR defined

as .16R , the tail rotor disk loading can be written,

using equation (3) as:

DL TTR 550 PT 1

TR TT (.16R)(3.4)

550 PT DL

Greenfield [Ref. 5], in his development, assumes that

i the tail rotor tip speed is equal to the main rotor tip

speed and that 6TR '.02 and 8 TR = .90 . With these

assumptions the equation for the tail rotor power required

to hover can be written as:

PT 205.7 DL 11/2 T Hover

TRHover 0(.5)

.012605 PT+• cLRT Hover

36

Page 38: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

The equation for the tail rotor mean blade lift coeffi-

cient can be written as

CLRTR (3.6). . 0

if it is assumed that the tail rotor is designed to counter-

balance a sea level main rotor torque equivalent to 90

percent of the installed power.

Substituting equation (3.6) into equation (3.5) one

obtains the following expression for hover tail rotor power:

r 347DL / PH 3/2

TTR6000/950 VT-wj-[ + 5.3134 (3.7)

It is assumed that the gear losses amount to 3 percent

Wand that there is a 1 percent cooling power loss, the total

brake horsepower required to hover becomes:

P PTm + PTTRT 96(.8

Empirical studies have shown that the tail rotor power

required to hover can be approximated by

PTAC * .8 [total horsepower to hover]

This allows one to write the main' rotor power required to

hover as:

PTm = (88)(PTm) (3.9)

Following Greenfield's [Ref. 5] development further,

if equations (3.2) and (3.7) are substituted in equation

(3.8), one obtainsSIN

Utilizing the approximation for tail rotor power,

equation (3.9), equation (3.10) can be solved for W

(gross weight) as a function of variables VT (tip speed),

DL (rotor disk loading), CLRo (rotor mean lift coefficient)

and PT (total power to hover).

Equation (3.11) has been programmed in Appendix B

and solved for tip speeds from 600 to 700 cps and CLR

of .3 to .7.

* Equation (3.11) is one of the two primary equations used

to obtain the data required for a carpet plot design

analysis. Generally, the variables VT , DL, CLRo and

PT I that are required for solution have specific ranges

of values, depending on the weight class of the helicopter

being designed. The graphical results of equation (3.11)

for tip speeds of 600 to 700 fps and mean lift coefficients

between .3 and .7 are illustrated in Figure 3.1.

Both the Fortran and Disspla programs, as well as a

decision making flow chart are provided in Appendix C

to aid in using this method for a design solution.

E. WEIGHT EQUATIONS

Weight equations need to be developed that realistically

reflect the sizing class of the helicopter being designed.

The evolution is greatly simplified if a specific engine

installation [# and horsepower] is assumed, since the

weight of a number of components depend only on the

installed power; this would include such terms as the engine

controls and accessories. Another category would be those

components whose weights depend on either the gross weight

on two or more of the following in combination: rotor tip

speed (VT) , rotor diameter (R), rotor solidity (a).

The equations developed here are taken from the Hiller

Aircraft Corporation Performance Data Report. (Ref. S] In

this report they assumed a specific engine installation,

the Allison T-63 with a military power rating at sea level

of 250 horsepower.

There is a possible problem of the validity of these

weight relationships when applied to different helicopter

design categories. However, assuming a specific engine

determines a ,umber of the component weights, and thus

minimizes the inaccuracies. Using the weight estimation

relationships developed in the Helicopter Design Manual

[Ref. 2], the engine, control and accessory weight can be

calculated and the weight formulas developed here applied

to give a representative useful load and empty weight

formula for preliminary design analysis. This is done in

Appendix C, for a 20,000 pound class helicopter.

* 41

The following relations are used to reduce the component

weight formulas for the specification helicopter:n2

As stated earlier, the design specifications called for

v a useful load consisting of a pilot (200 lbs), payload

(400 lbs) and the required fuel weight (WF). The fuel

weight is calculated for the Allison T-63 in the following

manner: endurance of three hours at 85 percent of normal

rated powered for the T-63 is 180.2 HP and the specific

fuel consumption at this power is .783 lbs fuel/BHP HR.

Including an allowance for a three-minute warm-up at NRP

and using a 5 percent correction factor on SFC, as

specified in Reference 5, the fuel weight becomes:

4 3WF = 3(180.2)(.822) + 6 (212) (777) (3.27)

An allowance should also be made for oil plus trapped

fuel. This is estimated at 20 lbs.

solved simultaneously for WBAR . This solution is best

illustrated graphically, as in Figure 3.2. The graph in

Figure 3. 2 was generated for a specific value of CLR over

a range of tip speeds-[600 to 700].

F. GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS

study. Programs are provided in Appendix D which will

generate the required data sets and plots of Figures 3.2

and 3.3.

The solution field depicted in Figure 3.3 is too large

to be of great analytic value and as such must be reduced.

Three parameters, maximum gross weight, rotor diameter

(both specified in the Design Specification) and the

aspect ratio can be used to narrow the field of solutions.

1. Rotor Diameter Boundary

A net to exceed value for the rotor diameter is

generally giwen in the design specifications. This

limiting valie is based on the operating environment of the

helicopter. With R max specified, there is a linear

relationship between'the disk loading and the gross weight.

The resulting bracketing of the solution field by

applying both the maximum gross weight and maximum rotor

diameter limits to the carpet plot are shown in Figure 3.4.

IV. HESCOMP

A. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM

HESCOMP is a helicopter sizing and performance computer

program developed by the Boeing Vertol Company. The program

was originally formulated to provide for rapid configuration

design studies.

A number of programming options are available to the

user of HESCOMP. When the type and mission profile of the

helicopter are known, HESCOMP may be used to size the

aircraft. Alternately, it may be used for mission profile

calculations when the sizing details [gross weight, payload,

engine size, etc.] are specified. A combination of these

two options is also available; the program may be used to

first size a helicopter for a primary mission and then

calculate the off-design performance for other missions.

Finally, HESCOMP may be used solely for obtaining helicopter

weight.

Sensitivity studies involving both design and per-

formance tradeoffs can easily be done with HESCOMP. Incre-

mental multiplicative and additive factors can be imbedded

in the input data.

The various helicopter configurations that may be

studied using HESCOMP are detailed in Table 4.1.

B. PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION

The computer program received from Boeing Vertol

required some modification and reformating in order to run

properly on the Naval Postgraduate School IBM system.

These alterations did not, however, alter the program output

or usability.

HESCOMP, as received from Boeing Vertol, was 17821

lines long and set-up as a sequential data set to be

assemble on a 'G compiler'. The Batch processing system at

the Naval Postgraduate School accepts only programs set to

run on 'H compiler'. Normally, the differences between

these two compilers are minor and programs that run on one

will run on the other. However, this was not the case with

HESCOMP.

In order to facilitate the program debugging process,

HESCOMP was reformatted as a partitioned data set. What

this effectively did was to break the program down into

"eight members of approximately 2000 lines. The program

breakdown is illustrated in Table 4.2.

Each of these were compiled individually and then error

codes analyzed. The member data set was then modified as

required to properly compile.

Once all the members of the partitioned data set

compiled properly, HESCOMP was again formated as a

sequential data set and run utilizing input data for

56

Page 58: Helicopter Sizing and Calculations

which there was a known output. This insured that the

modifications made to the original program had not altered

the logic, ie., gave faulty results.

The control language program to access HESCOMB on the

Batch processing system and a sample input and out data

set are shown in Appendix D, These are also available

on the Aero disk for copying and use.

a total of 44 subroutines. Detailed program descriptions

cam be found in Section 4 of the HESCOMP User's Manual.

D. PROGRAM INPUT

Program input can be loosely group into ten categories:

general information, aircraft descriptive information,

mission profile information, rotor tip speed schedule,

incremental rotor performance, auxiliary propulsion input

schedule, engine cycle information, rotor performance

information, propeller performance information, and

supplementary input information.

The actual amount of input data requires varies greatly

with the program options selected. An example of a data

set formatted to run on the IBM system is shown in

Appendix E. A more detailed explantion is available in

Section 5 of the HESCOMP User's Manual.

E. PROGRAM OUTPUT

An example of the program output is included in

Appendix E. The printout consists of general data, input

V. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Three approaches to analyzing a preliminary helicopter

design were explored in the course of this paper. It was

found that a number of the performance equations could be

greatly simplified with little degradation in the final

results. A sensitivity analysis brought further insight

into the inter-play of the parameters and how changes in

them tended to effect the helicopter performance equations.

Carpet Plots provided the most interesting method of

analysis. Development of a graphical solution matrix

using this method provides a usual interpretation of what

is occurring when key parameters are varied.

Two cases were explored; a light observation helicopter

ite in the 3,000 pound weight class and a heavier utility

helicopter in the 20,000 pound weight class. The Carpet

Plot method provided reasonable solutions in both cases.

In doing the analysis for the utility helicopter, the

initial weight estimation equation had to be adjusted

upward by approximately 2,000 pounds for the equations to

intersect properly. This is not considered a limitation

to this method of analysis, however, it does point up an

area for further investigation. It may be possible to

develop more accurate weighing factors for this equation

when dealing with higher gross weight helicopters.

HESCONIP provides a plethora of information to the user.

However, the price is the amount of inputed data required

for even a simplified analysis. At a preliminary design

* level of analysis, the other methods explored provide a

quicker first-cut look at the potential design.
