Abstract

The possible composition of aggregates and components of the fuselage structure of a multi-purpose helicopter is considered. For a number of existing serial multi-purpose (passenger, transport) helicopters, a method is proposed for constructing a correlation relationship between the mass of the fuselage and the measured projection area of the general view of the fuselage.
