Abstract：[Significance]Oriented to the supporting and mounting struts of helicopter final drive,the technical development status of periodic and intelligent struts was explored based on the evolution trend of strut structure.[Analysis]Firstly,the layout configurations for mounting and supporting of the helicopter final drive was introduced.Secondly,the structural characteristics and applicable scopes of each mounting and supporting layout were summarized and analyzed.Finally,combined with typical aircraft cases,the application status of various mounting and supporting layouts in conventional single-rotor helicopters and coaxial twin-rotor helicopters was concluded.[Prospect]It is proposed that the collaborative optimization of lightweight materials and intelligent algorithms will serve as a vital approach to improve the dynamic performance of support systems in the future.
