Revealing adverse rotorcraft pilot couplings induced by flight control system

Energy flow methods to model the rotorcraft dynamics

The mechanism through which the higher-order rotor dynamics couples with the body dynamics can be understood better by applying  “energy-flow methods”.  These ...

Ornicopter – a tailless helicopter

The tail rotor found on conventional helicopters has always been considered a ‘necessary evil’. Without it the helicopter is uncontrollable in yaw, yet t...
