Simulation of a CH-47 Water Crash Event
Keyword(s):
According to a Naval Aircraft Crash Report for 1972 to 1981, 45.3 % of helicopter mishaps occurred on water. For these incidents, the landing gear would not be effective. Instead, the lower portion of the helicopter is directly involved. Understanding how a helicopter reacts to such loading is critical for designing them to survive these incidents. This analysis investigates a CH-47 water crash event for various impact-speeds and predicts pilot accelerations during each event. The finite element analysis package LS-DYNA was used to simulate the fluid structure event between a full CH-47 model and water.
