Stability and Control Analysis on a Small-Scale Coaxial Helicopter with Bell-Hiller Stabilizer Bar

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the paper, we present a linearized mathematical model of a small scale coaxial helicopter with Bell-Hiller stabilizer bar, which is extracted from numerical linearization of a non-linear mathematical model with small perturbation theory. Stability and control derivatives calculated by numerical method are compared and analyzed for stability and control analysis on coaxial helicopters equipped with different type stabilizer bar. The study indicates that the coaxial helicopter with stabilizer bar fixed on the upper rotors has better capability on stability and control.
