A COMPILATION AND ANALYSIS OF HELICOPTER HANDLING QUALITIES DATA Volume Two:Data Analysis

摘要

A compilation and an analysis of helicopter handling qualities data are presented. Volume One contains a collection of basic descriptive data, stability derivatives, and transfer functions for a six-degrees-of-freedom, quasi-static model. This, the second volume, analyzes those data using multi-loop manual control methods. A general compensatory loop structure is applied to couple longitudinal-lateral-directional equations in such a way that key handling qualities features can be examined directly. But the overall mathematical complexity is reduced from that of the basic vehicle model. Extensive use is made of constrained state variable relationships and approximate factors in order to gain physical insight.
