Method of determining the maximum permissible values for diagnostic signs of helicopter transmission units operational status

A method of determining the maximum permissible values for diagnostic signs, being an integral part of health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS) of the helicopter transmission units, has been developed based on a probabilistic approach.     

Method of energy efficiency assessment for power supply of autonomous drive systems for perspective mobile objects

Based on an integrated approach, we solve the optimization problem for energy content and weight-dimensional characteristics of the electric servo drive by synthesis of structure and analysis of characteristics for different power supplies. The generalized power supply model, developed for different power supply of drive control systems, is given.

The construction principles, information processing algorithms and advantages of onboard system for measuring the wind vector parameters based on ion-beacon and aerometric measuring channels, are disclosed.     

Methodology of using artificial neural networks for imitating the loading of a single-rotor helicopter

A methodology of creating a loading imitation model of a single-rotor helicopter with artificial neural network algorithms is considered. Stages of creation, the structure, and an algorithm of searching for an optimal neural networks configuration of loading imitation model are presented.     

Influence of the interplanetary magnetic field on ULF oscillations of the ionospheric resonator

A weak but statistically reliable dependence of the diurnal activity of oscillations in the ionospheric Alfvén resonator on orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field ahead of the magnetospheric front has been detected based on observations of ULF oscillations at Sayan solar observatory Mondy of the Institute of Solar–Terrestrial Physics. The interpretation of the result has been proposed. The essence is that the electromagnetic fluctuations penetrate into the magnetosphere from the interplanetary environment and influence the ionospheric resonator. The formulation of the problem and the method of solving it are part of the broad program of the experimental and theoretical study of the influence of the interplanetary magnetic field on the oscillation regime of ULF oscillations of the magnetosphere.     

Safety Analysis of Helicopter Autorotation Landing Execution on Conditions of Providing Skid Landing Gear Static Strength

The requirements for skid landing gear static strength ensuring are examined based on the comparative analysis of the Airworthiness Standards requirements. Probabilistic principle of determining the safety factor of the skid landing gear is presented. The analysis of the experimental data on bench and flight tests is performed for calculating the actual value of this factor.
