Abstract:
The development of a comprehensive analytical model of rotorcraft aerodynamics and dynamics is presented. This analysis is designed to calculate rotor performance, loads, and noise helicopter vibration and gust response flight dynamics and handling qualities and system aeroelastic stability. The analysis is a combination of structural, inertial, and aerodynamic models that is applicable to a wide range of problems and a wide class of vehicles. The analysis is intended for use in the design, testing, and evaluation of rotors and rotorcraft, and to be a basis for further development of rotary wing theories. The analysis is implemented in a digital computer program.
