| 摘要： | Charge control tests were carried out on a ground based, Marine Corps helicopter to determine if control of the electric fields acting on the engine exhaust gases could be used to reduce the electrification of the helicopter when it operated in a dusty atmosphere. The test aircraft was flown to a dusty, unpaved area and was then isolated electrically from the earth. When the helicopter engines were operated at ground idle with the rotor locked, the isolated aircraft charged positively, as had been observed previously. However, when the rotor brake was released and the turning rotor created a downdraft that raised dust clouds, the aircraft always became charged more positively, to potentials ranging form 30 to 45 kV. The dust clouds raised by the rotor downwash invariably carried negative space charges with concentrations of up to -100 nC/cu m and caused surface electric fields with strengths of up to 10 kV/m immediately down wind of the aircraft. The natural charging of the helicopter operating in these dust clouds was successfully opposed by control of the electric fields acting on the hot, electrically conductive exhaust gases. The control was achieved by placing electrostatic shield around the exhausts. |
