POLYURETHANE AS EROSION RESISTANT MATERIAL FOR HELICOPTER ROTOR BLADES

Abstract

The report covers the use of PO 655 polyurethane material as an erosion resistant boot for the protection of helicopter rotor blades. Two adhesive systems were used with the polyurethane boots, and tests were conducted on CH-34 and UH-1B/D main rotor blades to evaluate the survivability of the material in an abrasive environment.
