SIMULATION OF HELICOPTER AND V/STOL AIRCRAFT. VOLUME III, PART II. COMPUTATIONAL METHODS DIGITAL. STUDY, EQUATIONS OF MOTION OF VERTICAL/SHORT TAKE-OFF AND LANDING OPERATIONAL FLIGHT/WEAPON SYSTEM TRAINERS.

Abstract

This report was written with the purpose of demonstrating the methods of mechanizing the equations of motion of helicopters and V/STOL aircraft by digital computing equipment. The report is based on the mechanization of the final equations developed in Volumes I and II of this report and assumes a knowledge of them. A general treatment of mathematical methods of analysis and of digital computer techniques is presented. The mathematical models developed in Volumes I and II for helicopters, both single and tandem rotor, and for V/STOL aircraft are presented in a digitally applicable form. Recommendations are given for computer memory size and for computer sophistication based on the findings of the study reported. (Author)
