КОНСТРУКТИВНО-ТЕХНОЛОГІЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ МЕТАЛЕВИХ ЛОПАТЕЙ НЕСУЧОГО І РУЛЬОВОГО ГВИНТІВ ВЕРТОЛЬОТА

Abstract

Analysis of the foreign and domestic work experience, manufacturing and operation of the helicopters with metal blades of the main (MR) and tail (TR) rotors is performed. General requirements for the helicopter MR and TR blades design are formulated. Structural arrangement of the helicopter MR metal blade is reviewed, features of the construction materials for the metal blades are noted. Features of the MR and TR metal blades design with the pressed spar and aluminum honeycomb core are given. Parametric modeling technique of the helicopter MR metal blade is presented. The manufacturing rout technology and the method of the surface strengthening of the metal blade tip are presented. The scheme and the manufacturing rout technology of the pressed aluminum spar are given; the geometrical twist features, the surface strengthening and the assembling of the spar with the blade tip are re- viewed. The features of the electric-heating patch bonding on the spar leading edge are shown. Following technological steps of the blade metal rear area manufacturing are reviewed: the rolled aluminum foil degreasing; the aluminum honeycomb structures manufacturing; the aluminum honeycomb core butt milling. The features of the blade rear area assembling and metal blade assembling by bonding in the jig are presented; the content of works outside of the jig for metal blade of the helicopter main rotor is given.
