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 />
