126 Propulsion<br />
flight state specifies the nacelle tilt angle, tip speeds, control state, and drive-system state, including the<br />
option to obtain any or all of these quantities from the conversion schedule.<br />
Several default values of the tip speed are defined for use by the flight state, including cruise,<br />
maneuver, one-engine inoperative, drive-system limit conditions, and a function of flight speed (piecewise<br />
linear input). Optionally these default values can be input as a fraction of the hover tip speed.<br />
Optionally the tip speed can be calculated from an input CT /σ = t0 − μt1, from μ = V/Vtip, or from<br />
<br />
Mat = Mtip (1 + μ) 2 + μ2 z; from which Vtip = T/ρAσt0 +(Vt1/2t0) 2 +(Vt1/2t0), Vtip = V/μ,or<br />
Vtip = (csMat) 2 − V 2<br />
z − V .<br />
The sizing task might change the hover tip speed (reference tip speed for drive-system state #1),<br />
the reference tip speed of a dependent rotor, a rotor radius, or the specification engine turbine speed<br />
Nspec. In such cases the gear ratios and other parameters are recalculated. Note that it is not consistent<br />
to change the reference tip speed of a dependent rotor if the gear ratio is a fixed input.<br />
16–2 Power Required<br />
The component power required Pcomp is evaluated for a specified flight condition as the sum of<br />
the power required by all the components of the propulsion group. The total power required for the<br />
propulsion group is obtained by adding the transmission losses and accessory power:<br />
PreqPG = Pcomp + Pxmsn + Pacc<br />
The transmission losses are calculated as an input fraction ℓxmsn of the component power plus windage<br />
loss:<br />
Pxmsn = ℓxmsnfxmsmPcomp + Pwindage (Ωprim/Ωref)<br />
The factor fxmsm can equal 1 or can include a function of the drive-shaft rating (increasing the losses at<br />
low power):<br />
