Control of the Transient Response of Gimballed Rotors During Shipboard Engagement Operations

摘要

1. Developed analysis to simulate shipboard gimballed rotor engagements 1) Rigid blade modeling 2) Linear, attached flow aerodynamics 3) Simple ship airwake models 2. Utilized optimal control (LQR) technique to control flapping response 3. Limits on collective and cyclic pitch magnitudes and rates enforced 4. Motion dependent aerodynamic terms contribute to gains 5. Greater reductions in β_(max) could result with relaxed swashplate limits 6. Response fairly insensitive to errors in anemometer reading.
