Embodiment Construction

[0071] figure 1 A schematic compound helicopter 1 is shown. The compound helicopter 1 is viewed from above and extends in a longitudinal direction 22 , a transverse direction 23 and a vertical direction 38 .

[0072] The longitudinal direction 22 corresponds to the intrinsic roll axis of the compound helicopter 1 . The transverse direction 23 is perpendicular to the roll axis and corresponds to the pitch axis of the compound helicopter 1 . The plane formed by the longitudinal direction 22 and the transverse direction 23 is considered "horizontal" and corresponds to figure 1 A top plan view of the compound helicopter 1 is shown. The plane formed by the longitudinal direction 22 and the transverse direction 23 is also sometimes referred to as the horizontal plane or the X-Y plane.

[0073] The vertical direction 38 corresponds to the yaw axis of the compound helicopter 1 and is oriented vertically with respect to the X-Y plane. The plane formed by the lateral direction 23 a...

Abstract

The proposed embodiment relates to a compound helicopter (1) having a fuselage (4), at least one main rotor (2) and a fixed-wing configuration (5). The at least one main rotor (2) may comprise at least two rotor blades (2a, 2b) forming a main rotor disc (3) during rotation of the at least one main rotor (2), wherein the main rotor disc (3) defines a compound helicopter Edge (3a). The fixed wing configuration (5) is arranged completely laterally with respect to the fuselage 4 within the compound helicopter edge (3a) and includes a rear horizontal plane structure (13), arranged at a predetermined angle (17a) in the rear horizontal plane structure ( At least one vertical tail fin (17) at 13), at least one upper wing, at least one lower wing and an interconnection (11) connecting the upper wing (6) to the associated lower wing (7).

Description

technical field [0001] The proposed embodiment relates to a compound helicopter having a fuselage, at least one main rotor at least adapted to generate lift in operation, and a fixed-wing configuration laterally attached to the fuselage. Background technique [0002] Conventional helicopters are generally characterized by the use of a main rotor and a tailboom with an auxiliary tail rotor adapted to counteract torque. In addition to the tail rotor, the tail boom usually has a vertical and a horizontal tail plane mounted with the tail rotor on the tail of the tail boom. [0003] The tailboom of a modern helicopter is basically a closed cylindrical structure that extends toward the rear of the fuselage. The tail boom is usually designed as a fish-shaped tail featuring a smooth transition from the fuselage to the tail boom structure, or as a beam-shaped tail projecting from the upper portion of the rear fuselage. [0004] The longitudinal extension of the tailboom relative to...
