Popis: An autopilot is applied to helicopter rotor flap-lag-torsion equations to obtain the control settings for a trimmed flight condition. The rotor aerodynamic description includes a stage-space dynamic stall model for lift and for pitching moments. Thus, the rotor is trimmed for flight conditions in which significant stall and torsional deformations are present. The autopilot is extended to Q-bladed rotors by a series of time-delay terms. As a result, the optimum gains and time constants depend upon the number of blades as well as upon the torsional stiffness.
