  1. Green Rotorcraft Platform Hungarian Aeronautical Research Workshop 27/28 November 2006 - Budapest

  2. SUMMARY 1. The Rotorcraft in SRA 2 • Scenario / HLTCs 2. Rotorcraft in FP7 • Clean Sky JTI – Green Rotorcraft Platform Clean Sky JTI Rotorcraft Platform – Budapest 27-28 November 2006

  3. ROTORCRAFT IN SRA 2 • ACARE (Advisory Council for Aeronautical Research in Europe) SRA2 (Strategic Research Agenda) has stated an increasing role of rotorcraft as a competitive and affordable mode of transportation for point to point connection, compared with road transport and with reduced impact on infrastructures. Application both on new and scheduled services. • The future ATS (Air Traffic System) model includes rotorcraft contribution based on both current and future technology.

  9. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FLIGHT PATHS (1/2) • Assessment of level of rotorcraft contribution to the noise emission of future ATS scenario • Continuity with FRIENDCOPTER and OPTIMAL Integrated Projects for the validation of rotorcraft-specific / environmentally friendly flight paths • Specific Tilt rotor aspects like: impact of tiltable wing and nacelle angles on acoustic signature during approach Clean Sky JTI Rotorcraft Platform – Budapest 27-28 November 2006

  10. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FLIGHT PATHS (2/2) Continuity with FRIENDCOPTER and OPTIMAL FP6 IPs Rotorcraft Platform • Rotorcraft-specific approach procedures: • For instrument flight (IFR) • GNSS guidance • Noise reduction achieved only by steep slopes • Environmentally friendly flight paths: • Both for VFR and IFR • GNSS guidance • Noise minimisation by optimised departure & approach paths, depending on H/C class FRIENDCOPTER • Minimisation of noise footprint (30 to 50%) by optimised design and flight paths: • For visual flight (VFR) only • Noise reduction by optimised paths, depending on H/C type Clean Sky JTI Rotorcraft Platform – Budapest 27-28 November 2006

  11. INNOVATIVE BLADES Intelligent blades • Advanced design criteria: integration of aerodynamics, materials and control systems for adaptive / conformable blade shapes and flow control • Innovative Methodologies (Computational Fluid Dynamics, model testing; whirl tower verification; flight testing) • Continuity with FRIENDCOPTER WP5 research topics • Tilt rotor specific acoustics studies, as a follow-up of ADYN WP3 dedicated large scale half span wind tunnel model tests Clean Sky JTI Rotorcraft Platform – Budapest 27-28 November 2006

  12. LOW EMISSION AND FUEL CONSUMPTION REDUCTION Demonstration of drag reduction and increased efficiency technologies • Rotor head innovative configurations as conformable fairings (with proper account of maintenance and safety). • Improved rotor fuselage interactional aerodynamic design • Specific Tilt rotor aspects like: wing design (thickness), flow control for rotor / wing interactions; optimized rotor head drag for cruise flight • Validation of innovative architectures for rotorcraft electrical system and anti-torque devices, thermal energy and fuel management Clean and more efficiency power use • Validation of improved fuel consumptions and reduced emissions of installation of diesel engines on a single-engine helicopter; assessment of impact on helicopter design (Weight & balance, drive system, ect).
