Report forecast the global helicopter blades market to grow
at a CAGR of 5% during the period 2016-2020.
Helicopter blades are essential components of a rotorcraft
as they are responsible for effective aerodynamic forces which provide
airworthiness. Therefore, their manufacturing process and operations are
closely monitored by regulatory bodies through stringent regulations. Factors
that influence the global civil helicopter market are aircraft utilization,
global fleet size, and air traffic volumes.
The report covers the present scenario and the growth
prospects of the global helicopter blades market for 2016-2020. To calculate
the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of
main rotor blade and tail rotor blade.
The market is divided into the following segments based
on geography:
- Americas
- APAC
- EMEA
According to the report, Development of swashplateless
helicopter blade pitch control systems will drive the market of global
helicopter blades. The blade pitch
control systems of helicopters form a complex arrangement. They involve
transmission control units in the non-rotating frame to the blades in a
rotating frame through swashplates. This arrangement results in a high
maintenance workload and a downward force drag. Helicopters, in comparison to
fixed-wing aircraft, experience excessive vibration, which results in
structural fatigue and low system reliability. Due to the mechanical coupling
between swashplate pitch links, complex pitch controls cannot be applied, which
in turn, lowers the performance of a helicopter, affecting passenger comfort
and necessitating an effectual control mechanism. In order to minimize the
vibration level, improve pitch control, and improve the performance of
helicopters, vendors are currently focusing on the development of
swashplateless helicopter blades.
Further, the report states that challenges of
non-destructive testing for fiber composite materials will restrict the growth
in the market. The design and production methods used for the development of
helicopter blades are focused on enabling high performance. Mostly, these
initiatives reflect the development of lightweight rotor blades for providing
high thrust. Presently, most helicopter structures are composed of fiber
composite materials. Helicopter rotor blades consist of complex monolithic
carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates. Design and production
processes are adapted for high performance FRP structures to reach the
specified requirements for quality, functionality, and safety.
