摘要
This article describes a new trim procedure that includes the calculation of the steady-state response of the rotor blades and is applicable to straight flight and steady coordinated turns. This article also describes the results of a validation study for a high-order linearized model of helicopter flight dynamics that includes rotor, inflow, and actuator dynamics. The model is obtained by numerical perturbations of a nonlinear, blade element-type mathematical model. Predicted responses are compared with flight test data for two values of airspeed. The comparison is carried out in the frequency domain. Numerical simulations and comparisons with flight test data show that the trim algorithm is accurate and preserve the periodicity of the aircraft states. The results also indicate that the predictions of the on-axis frequency response are overall in good agreement with flight test data, especially at medium and high frequencies.
