Rotorcraft Flight Simulation, Computer Program C81. Volume 3. Programmer's Manual

Abstract

This report consists of three volumes and documents the current version in the C81 family of rotorcraft flight simulation programs developed by Bell Helicopter Textron. This current version of the digital computer program is referred to as AGAJ77. The accompanying program for calculating fully coupled rotor blade mode shapes is called DNAM05, and the rotor wake program is called AR9102. The first volume, the Engineer's Manual, presents an overview of the computer program capabilities plus discussions for the background and development of the principal mathematical models in the program. The models discussed include all those currently in the program. Volume II, the User's Manual, contains the detailed information necessary for setting up an input data deck and interpreting the computed data. Volume III, the Programmer's Manual, includes a catalog of subroutines and a discussion of programming considerations. The source tapes and related software for the computer programs documented in this report are unpublished data on file at the Applied Technology Laboratory, U.S. Army Research and Technology Laboratories (AVRADCOM), Fort Eustis, Virginia.
