Abstract

Korean Utility Helicopter(KUH) is the first korean-developed helicopter. Its first flight was performed in March 2010 and then its development was completed successfully by June 2012. During flight test phase, KUH faced various vibration problems and appropriate vibration-reduction devices were designed and applied to solve the problems. The vibration-reduction devices were applied to main rotor blades, main gear box(MGB) supporting structure, cockpit, cabin and pilot seats to reduce rotor-induced 4/rev vibration. Also, dome-fairing was introduced in order to reduce the tail-shake vibration. This paper shows design technique and flight test results for vibration-reduction devices that have been incorporated into KUH.
