Laboratory Verification of Force Determination, A Potential Tool for Reliability Testing.

Abstract

Results of laboratory tests on a helicopter dynamic model show that the external vibratory forces, such as those of main and tail rotors, acting on a helicopter can be accurately determined from flight tests using only accelerometers in the fuselage.
