Rotorcraft Flight Simulation, Computer Program C81. Volume 1. Engineer'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 DNAMO5, 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.
