Abstract:

This Structural Test Requirements Program is designed to provide the necessary ground test requirements to support the overall HSIP objectives. The Structural Test Requirements portion of the HSIP covers the ground tests which are required during the design development and qualification of rotary-wing VTOL aircraft. The structural test requirements specification addresses composite and metallic components. Through a comprehensive survey of existing specifications and related documents for structural testing of rotary-wingVTOL aircraft, key test technology elements such as static, fatigue, durability and damage tolerance have been assessed for suitability to future aircraft systems, and evaluated for applicability into the test requirements specification. In cases where no adequate test requirements exist, this program has developed those requirements. A draft test specification was developed and presented to various representatives of the helicopter industry and government agencies at a GovernmentIndustry Forum. Comments received from the forum participants were evaluated and incorporated, if appropriate, into a final revised specification.
