Fluidic Vortex Valve Servoactuator Development

Abstract

The report summarizes the development of a fluidic vortex valve controlled servoactuator for a UH-1B helicopter stability augmentation system (pitch, roll, and yaw control). Alternate fluidic approaches for hydraulic actuator control were studied, and an approach utilizing two vortex valves was selected. Vortex valves were developed to meet the specified performance requirements. A circuit was designed to incorporate the vortex valves for second-stage flow modulation.
