Embodiment Construction

[0030] figure 1 A transverse ducted tail 1 of a helicopter (not shown) is shown. The transverse ducted tail 1 includes a cover 3 , a buffer 4 and a wing 5 . The transverse ducted tail 1 also includes an anti-torque device 2 configured to resist the torque generated by the rotation of the main rotor of the helicopter, so as to keep the helicopter in balance when yawing. The anti-torque device 2 is supported in a transverse duct 6 which extends through the cover 3 of the tail section 1 .

[0031] The transverse duct 6 is substantially circular and comprises a rotor, a rotor plane being defined by rotor blades 13 . Air flows through the transverse ducts 6 of the anti-torque device 2 .

[0032] The anti-torque device 2 comprises a stator with stator blades 16 , 17 , a drive shaft fairing 14 and a gearbox fairing 15 .

[0033] Ten rotor blades 13 are attached to a rotor hub 12 having a rotor axis. The ten rotor blades 13 are distributed on the rotor hub 12 at a non-uniform angle...

Abstract

The invention is related to a helicopter with a longitudinal axis and with a tail portion (1) with a transverse duct (6) and a drive shaft (23) inside a drive shaft fairing (14) for an aerodynamic and acoustic optimized counter-torque device (2) supported within said transverse duct (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a helicopter with the preamble features of claim 1 , having an anti-torque device supported in a transverse duct. Said anti-torque devices mounted in transverse ducts are known as so-called ducted tail rotors. Background technique [0002] Growing ecological awareness has led to increased attention to the further improvement of helicopter components, especially in the specific case of transverse ducting based on anti-torque systems, and increasing public awareness of direct The purpose of improving the acceptance of the aircraft. [0003] In order to understand the phenomenon of rotor-stator interaction, and in particular to predict the tonal noise due to wake interaction, knowledge of the cyclic loads generated on the stator blades of the anti-torque device is required. Usually two different effects are considered. The first effect involves periodic viscous wake velocity defects where the rotor blades are intercepted by the...
