The behaviour of helicopters is so complex that understanding the physical mechanisms at work in trim, stability and response, and thus the prediction of Flying Qualities, requires a framework of analytical and numerical modelling and simulation. Good Flying Qualities are vital for ensuring that mission performance is achievable with safety and, in the first edition of Helicopter Flight Dynamic…
Flying qualities are now a primary attribute in the requirements for future civil and military rotorcraft to ensure that high performance is achievable with safety and efforts have therefore been made to establish robust criteria and mature the technologies for highly augmented flight control. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the flying qualities of civil and military rotorcraft,…
