Abstract:
This article presents the detailed modeling and analysis of some of the parasitic effects that slink into the dynamics of multi-rotor hybrid aircrafts during transient and steady state flight conditions. The “parasitic” effects are undesirable effects such as coriolis, centripetal and centrifugal accelerations; gyroscopic and precession moments, rotor tilt reaction moment, inertial counter torques, frictional moments, air drag moments etc. These effects are the primary cause of the nonlinearity and coupling in the dynamics of aircrafts. A hybrid aircraft in Tee configuration, with three rotors, has been considered. It has a tilt-rotor and the tilt-wing mechanism to perform maneuvers. The parasitic air dag moments, tilt reaction moment, angular acceleration effects, reaction moments and the frictional moments have been modeled in detail for this aircraft. This work supplements the study in part-I of this research project. The analysis is performed in a way that it could easily be extended to a multi-rotor hybrid craft with different number of rotors and in any given structural configuration.
