Badanie stateczności ustalonych stanów lotu sterowanego śmigłowca i analiza sprzężeń ruchów przestrzennych jego elementów

Krzysztof Jankowski, Jerzy Maryniak

Study of a dynamical stability of the horizontal flight and the hover of the single-rotor helicopter is presented. Couplings between motions of the different elements of the helicopter and between longitudinal and lateral motions are discussed. Derived equations and numerical calculation results allow to explain some important features of the helicopter flight dynamics. The above analysis gives criteria of choice of helicopter stabilization systems and of dynamical vibration absorbers.
