Reduction of Helicopter BVI Noise, Vibration, and Power Consumption Through Individual Blade Control
TL;DR: A wind tunnel test was conducted with a full-scale BO 105 helicopter rotor to evaluate the potential of open-loop individual blade control (IBC) to improve rotor performance, to reduce blade vortex interaction (BVI) noise, and to alleviate helicopter vibrations as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of active controls to augment rotor/fuselage stability
TL;DR: In this article, the use of active blade pitch control to increase helicopter rotor/body damping is studied through a conventional nonrotating swashplate, where state variable feedback of rotor and body states is used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupled Rotor/Tower Aeroelastic Analysis of Large Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
TL;DR: In this article, the governing nonlinear equations of motion for the coupled rotor/tower dynamics of a large two-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating computer architectures into the design of high-performance controllers
TL;DR: Five global design considerations that are useful to integrate array processor, multimicroprocessor, and host computer system architectures into versatile, high-speed controllers are discussed.
Design Considerations for a Stopped-Rotor Cyclocopter for Venus Exploration
S. Husseyin,William Warmbrodt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of a cycloidal blade system as a means of providing lift and propulsive thrust as well as combined with a stopped rotor system, was considered to create a stopped-rotor cyclocopter vehicle during a mission to Venus.
