A study was made of means to improve helicopter engine/airframe vibratory interface compatibility. The study was based on the characteristics of the OH-6A helicopter and the T63 engine in order to utilize existing data to validate the methodology produced in the study. Available engine and airframe data was reviewed and used to prepare a vibration spectrum for a typical mission. Airframe mobility data was acquired during a ground shake test. A finite element model of the OH-6A airframe was prepared and was coupled to a model of the T63 engine, which was based on mobility data supplied by the engine manufacturer. The airframe and engine models were combined using a modal coupling technique, and reasonable correlation with test data was obtained. An impedance/mobility coupling technique is recommended where many flexible modes are in the frequency ranges that could be excited by main-rotor-induced vibratory forces. Based on the study, recommendations were prepared and circulated to engine manufacturers for future engine vibration specification, vibration parameter selection, and data reduction. The results of the survey and the proposed recommendations are presented.
