A Mathematical Model of the UH-60 Helicopter.

Abstract

This report documents the revisions made to a mathematical model of a single main rotor helicopter. These revisions were necessary to model the UH-60 helicopter accurately. The major modifications to the model include fuselage aerodynamic force and moment equations that are specific to the UH-60, a canted tail rotor, a horizontal stabilator with variable incidence, and a pitch bias actuator (PBA). In addition, the model requires a full set of parameters which describe the helicopter configuration and its physical characteristics.
