The Book The behaviour of helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft is so
complex that understanding the physical mechanisms at work in trim,
stability and response, and thus the prediction of Flying
Qualities, requires a framework of analytical and numerical
modelling and simulation. Good Flying Qualities are vital for
ensuring that mission performance is achievable with safety and, in
the first and second editions of Helicopter Flight Dynamics, a
comprehensive treatment of design criteria was presented, relating
to both normal and degraded Flying Qualities. Fully embracing the
consequences of Degraded Flying Qualities during the design phase
will contribute positively to safety. In this third edition, two
new Chapters are included. Chapter 9 takes the reader on a journey
from the origins of the story of Flying Qualities, tracing key
contributions to the developing maturity and to the current
position. Chapter 10 provides a comprehensive treatment of the
Flight Dynamics of tiltrotor aircraft; informed by research
activities and the limited data on operational aircraft. Many of
the unique behavioural characteristics of tiltrotors are revealed
for the first time in this book. The accurate prediction and
assessment of Flying Qualities draws on the modelling and
simulation discipline on the one hand and testing practice on the
other. Checking predictions in flight requires clearly defined
mission tasks, derived from realistic performance requirements.
High fidelity simulations also form the basis for the design of
stability and control augmentation systems, essential for
conferring Level 1 Flying Qualities. The integrated description of
flight dynamic modelling, simulation and flying qualities of
rotorcraft forms the subject of this book, which will be of
interest to engineers practising and honing their skills in
research laboratories, academia and manufacturing industries, test
pilots and flight test engineers, and as a reference for graduate
and postgraduate students in aerospace engineering.
