卡曼航空集團宣布正在開發(fā)新一代K-MAX無人直升機系統(tǒng)，將使操作員能夠執(zhí)行有人或無人飛行任務，并開始了K-MAX直升機全復合材料螺旋槳片的研發(fā)項目。
該項為期多年的計劃包括卡曼嚙合轉子系統(tǒng)全復合材料螺旋槳片的設計，制造，測試和認證。 復合材料螺旋槳片的優(yōu)勢包括：更平滑的翼型，更高的性能，更少的維護，更少的大修檢查要求和更長的螺旋槳片壽命。
獲得認證后，卡曼將把復合材料螺旋槳片整合到新型飛機的生產(chǎn)上，并與客戶合作改造現(xiàn)有的機隊。
卡曼航空集團表示，K-Max無人直升機是一種堅固耐用直升機，具有單發(fā)單座配置及反向旋轉旋翼系統(tǒng)，并為外部負載作業(yè)進行了優(yōu)化，能夠吊起重達6000磅（2722千克）的物品。該型無人機直升機能夠執(zhí)行夜間空中滅火、在嚴峻環(huán)境中補給部隊或提供關鍵補給以支持人道主義等任務。
Kaman Aerospace Group (Bloomfield, Conn., U.S.), a division of Kaman Corp., announced March 5 that it has launched a composite blade development program for the K-MAX helicopter.
The multi-year program consists of design, manufacture, test and qualification of an all-composite blade for Kaman’s intermeshing rotor system. Kaman anticipates that benefits of a composite blade will include smoother airfoil, increased performance, reduced maintenance, fewer overhaul inspection requirements and extended blade life.
Kaman says that after certification it will incorporate the composite blade on new production aircraft and work with customers to retrofit the existing fleet.
“The ability to provide state-of-the-art blade technology to our operators is another step in our efforts to improve the best-in-class performance of the K-MAX aircraft,” says Doug Perreault executive director, K-MAX Programs./cn/news-detail-244-7825.html
