Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents the key results of a model wing tunnel test program that was directed towards investigating the use of cyclic pitch propellers as the low speed longitudinal control system of a four propeller V/STOL tilt wing transport-type aircraft. The almost linear pitch control effectiveness of this system through transitional flight and in-ground effect along with the correlation with theory is discussed, and the moderate power increase associated with its use is shown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performances of VTOL aircraft using ducted and free propellers are compared The comparison is based on existing light VTOL aircraft equipped with ducted propellers and on the same aircraft using free propellers computed for this purpose. The free propellers appear to provide better aircraft performance, especially higher flight speed. An appraisal and analysis of VTOL aircraft based on the existing VTOL testbeds forms the second part of this volume. Summaries of design particulars and performance re given in graphical and tabular form. The special purpose vehicles, such as the flying jeeps, aerial platforms and aerodynes, are treated as a separate group. Particular performance data of the various VTOL aircraft are collected in an appendix.

Download or read book Propeller Aerodynamics written by Frank Hitchens and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical aerodynamics is a compulsory study subject for pilots at all levels of experience. Propeller Aerodynamics is a subset of this fascinating subject. Propellers have their unique aerodynamic terminology, forces and handling requirements, knowledge of which all pilots must be aware of to safely handle the aircraft they are flying. Incorrect propeller handling can cause damage to the aircraft and reduce performance efficiency. Most aerodynamic text books only give a brief view of propeller aerodynamics; however this book Propeller Aerodynamics delves more deeply into this subject. The book covers the history and operation of aircraft propellers, prop pitch, thrust, efficiency, aircraft stability, prop forces, constant-speed units and more. This is all essential reading for the pilot progressing to more advanced high-performance aircraft.

Download or read book Rotorcraft Blade Pitch Control Through Torque Modulation written by James J. Paulos and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Micro air vehicle (MAV) technology has broken with simple mimicry of manned aircraft in order to fulfill emerging roles which demand low-cost reliability in the hands of novice users, safe operation in confined spaces, contact and manipulation of the environment, or merging vertical flight and forward flight capabilities. These specialized needs have motivated a surge of new specialized aircraft, but the majority of these design variations remain constrained by the same fundamental technologies underpinning their thrust and control. This dissertation solves the problem of simultaneously governing MAV thrust, roll, and pitch using only a single rotor and single motor. Such an actuator enables new cheap, robust, and light weight aircraft by eliminating the need for the complex ancillary controls of a conventional helicopter swashplate or the distributed propeller array of a quadrotor. An analytic model explains how cyclic blade pitch variations in a special passively articulated rotor may be obtained by modulating the main drive motor torque in phase with the rotor rotation. Experiments with rotors from 10 cm to 100 cm in diameter confirm the predicted blade lag, pitch, and flap motions. We show the operating principle scales similarly as traditional helicopter rotor technologies, but is subject to additional new dynamics and technology considerations. Using this new rotor, experimental aircraft from 29 g to 870 g demonstrate conventional flight capabilities without requiring more than two motors for actuation. In addition, we emulate the unusual capabilities of a fully actuated MAV over six degrees of freedom using only the thrust vectoring qualities of two teetering rotors. Such independent control over forces and moments has been previously obtained by holonomic or omnidirection multirotors with at least six motors, but we now demonstrate similar abilities using only two. Expressive control from a single actuator enables new categories of MAV, illustrated by experiments with a single actuator aircraft with spatial control and a vertical takeoff and landing airplane whose flight authority is derived entirely from two rotors.
