Some Approximations to the Flapping Stability of Helicopter Rotors

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.
