Moment limiting control laws for dual rigid rotor helicopters

A method of counteracting a rotor moment of one or more rotors of a concentric dual-rotor helicopter includes sensing angular velocity and angular acceleration of a helicopter during a flight maneuver. The angular velocity and angular acceleration are compared to a set of control parameters and one...

Zusammenfassung:A method of counteracting a rotor moment of one or more rotors of a concentric dual-rotor helicopter includes sensing angular velocity and angular acceleration of a helicopter during a flight maneuver. The angular velocity and angular acceleration are compared to a set of control parameters and one or more control servos change the cyclic pitch of the one or more rotors to counteract the rotor moment. A control system for counteracting a rotor moment of one or more rotors of a concentric dual-rotor helicopter includes one or more sensors configured to sense angular velocity and angular acceleration of a helicopter during a flight maneuver. A computer is operably connected to the one or more sensors and configured to compare sensor data to a set of control parameters. A plurality of control servos change the cyclic pitch of the one or more rotors to counteract the rotor moment.
