Powerplant selection for conceptual helicopter design. Master's thesis
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5372338
A method of optimizing the selection of a power plant based upon engine and fuel weight is developed for use in a conceptual helicopter design course. Historical data is analyzed to verify and modify existing formulae used to estimate engine performance and engine installation weight. Computational programs for use on a hand-held computer and the IBM 3033 are developed to predict analytically engine fuel flow characteristics and to optimize engine selection.
