Abstract

This article presents the overview of modern polymer composite materials and polymer fillers used in helicopter blades in Russia and worldwide, as well as the history and prospects for their development. The main requirements for helicopter blade materials, examples of blade elements using PCM and polymer filler, basic reinforcement schemes and manufacturing technologies are presented. The analysis of modern carbon fillers is carried out, and the main differences between medium-modulus and high-strength carbon fibers are considered.
