Abstract:
This article presents the detailed modeling and analysis of the precession and the gyroscopic parasitic effects that creep into the dynamics of multi-rotor hybrid aircraft during transient and steady state flight conditions. The term “parasitic” collectively refer to undesirable effects such as coriolis, centripetal and centrifugal acceleration; gyroscopic moments, rotor tilt reaction moment, inertial counter torques, frictional moments and air drag moments, precession moments etc. These effects are the major source of nonlinearity and coupling in the dynamics of aircraft. The hybrid aircraft combines the features of the hovercraft and the wing craft. A Tee configuration tri-rotor hybrid aircraft with the tilt-rotor and the tilt-wing mechanism would be taken into account and the parasitic precession moments and the gyroscopic moments would be modeled for it in the detail, in a way that this analysis could easily be extended to multi-rotor hybrid craft with the different number of rotors in any given configuration.
