    Description: The flapping equation for a helicopter in forward flight are reported which have coefficients that are periodic in time, and this effect complicates the calculation of stability. A constant coefficient approximation which will allow the use of all the well known methods for analyzing constant coefficient equations are presented. The flapping equation is first transformed into the nonrotating coordinate frame, where some of the periodic coefficients are transformed into constant terms. The constant coefficient approximation is then made by using time averaged coefficients in the nonrotating frame. Stability calculations based on the approximation are compared to results from a theory which correctly includes all of the periodicity. The comparison indicates that the approximation is reasonably accurate at advance ratios up to 0.5.

    Description: It was shown that for two, three, or four bladed rotors, simple oscillation of the nonrotating swashplate controls can produce prescribed blade pitch schedules of the sort which were suggested for vibration alleviation. Equations were given which relate the swashplate motions to the resulting blade pitch schedules.

    Description: A mathematical model of a gyro-controlled, three-bladed hingeless helicopter rotor was developed and parameters of the model were estimated using a parameter identification technique. The flapping and feathering degrees of freedom of the blades were modeled. The equations of the model contain time-varying, periodic coefficients due to the forward speed of the rotor. A digital simulation of the analytical model was compared with wind-tunnel measurements to establish the validity of the model. Comparisons of steady-state and transient solutions of the analytical model with the tunnel measurements gave reasonably good matching of gyro angle but less satisfactory matching of hub moment measurements. Further improvements were obtained by use of a parameter identification technique to adjust as many as 10 parameters of the analytical model. The sensitivity of the blade response to small changes in the parameters was also calculated.

    Description: A shake test was conducted to determine the dynamic characteristics of a rotor test apparatus on strut systems. The rotor-off hub transfer function (acceleration per unit force as a function of frequency) was measured in the longitudinal and lateral directions, using a combination of broadband and discrete frequency excitation techniques. The dynamic data is summarized for the configurations tested, giving the following properties for each mode identified: the natural frequency, the hub response at resonance, and the fixed system damping. The complete transfer functions are presented, and the detailed test results are included as an appendix. Data analysis techniques developed to obtain on-line measurements of the system modal properties, including the damping coefficient and the damping ratio are discussed.

    Description: The paper discusses the application of the laser velocimeter in the study of two highly complex aerodynamic flows. In the first experiment, the laser velocimeter has been used with frequency tracking electronics to survey the multiple vortex wake structure behind a model of a large jet transport. The second application is to the study of the induced instantaneous inflow velocities near the blades of a model helicopter rotor; counter type processing was used in these measurements. In each experiment, the data output channels of these processors were handled in an on-line fashion, including both velocity computations and the plotting of fully reduced data.

    Description: The use of a two-color laser velocimeter to measure the flow velocities in the wake of a helicopter rotor is discussed, including methods for obtaining two components of both instantaneous and time-averaged velocities. Results are presented from an experiment using a 2.13 m diameter model helicopter rotor operating at a tip speed ratio of 0.18 in a wind tunnel. The location of the tip vortex from the preceding blade was determined on the advancing side, and the diameter of the vortex core was found to be 15 percent of the blade chord (1.5 percent of the radius). The effects of the airfoil's bound vorticity were observed in the velocity distributions vry near the blade. These effects suggest that the laser velocimeter may be used to determine the aerodynamic loading (circulation) at a spanwise station on the blade. Also, the structure and boundary of the time-averaged wake were investigated.

    Description: This paper presents results from a recent wind-tunnel investigation of model helicopter rotor tip vortices. Measurements were made of the vortex positions, core sizes, and velocity distributions. A laser velocimeter was used to make the measurements, and a minicomputer-based data system was used to process the data and to aid in controlling the experiment. The velocimeter, the data system, and the software developed for the minicomputer are briefly described. The rotors investigated were two-bladed, teetering rotors with diameters of 2.1 m. Two sets of blades were used, one set with zero twist and one set with -11 deg of linear twist. The vortex positions were obtained by making flow field traverses while strobing the data system at a fixed azimuth. Aging of a vortex element was also studied by following the convected element while strobing the data system at different azimuths. By this method, the effects on the vortex of a close interaction with a blade and another vortex were studied.
