Comparison of the performance of a helicopter-type ram-jet engine under various centrifugal loadings

Description: Report presenting an investigation of an 18-foot-radius helicopter rotor powered by tip-mounted ramjet engines in the helicopter test tower. The engine performance is compared with the performance determined in a previous investigation of a 9-foot-radius rotor with the same engines at similar speeds but with twice the centrifugal forces. Results regarding the propulsive characteristics, minimum specific fuel consumption and corresponding propulsive thrust, and operational characteristics are pr… more

Investigation of a Ram-Jet-Powered Helicopter Rotor on the Langley Helicopter Test Tower

Description: Report discussing tests on a helicopter rotor powered by ram-jet engines located at the rotor blade tips. Information about the basic hovering characteristics of the rotor and the propulsive characteristics of the ram-jet engine were obtained over a range of speeds and fuel rates. Results were also obtained in the power-off condition and with the engines removed.

Investigation of a Pulse-Jet-Powered Helicopter Rotor on the Langley Helicopter Test Tower

Description: Report discussing testing of a helicopter rotor powered by pulse-jet engines located at the rotor-blade tips. The basic hovering characteristics of the rotor and propulsive characteristics of the pulse-jet engine were obtained at a range of engine speeds with the engines rigidly fixed to the blade tips and with the engines free to pivot. Measurements were also taken to determine the effect of inlet blockage on the power-off drag of the jet engines and the noise intensity in the vicinity of oper… more
