연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A method of operating a rotor aircraft involves measuring an airspeed of the aircraft and a rotational speed of the rotor. A controller determines a Mu of the rotor based on the airspeed of the aircraft and the rotational speed of the rotor. The controller varies the collective pitch of the rotor blades in relationship to the Mu, from an inertia powered jump takeoff, through high speed high advance ratio flight, through a low speed landing approach, to a zero or short roll flare landing. In addition as the rotor is unloaded and the rotor slows down, the ...

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of operating a rotor aircraft, comprising: (a) measuring the true airspeed of the aircraft; (b) measuring a rotational speed of the rotor; (c) determining a Mu of the rotor based on the true airspeed of the aircraft and the rotational speed of the rotor; (d) varying a collective pitch in relation to the Mu; and wherein step (d) comprises determining a Mu vs collective pitch curve, programming a controller with the curve, then with the controller, varying the collective pitch in accordance with at least a portion of the curve. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein step (d) further comprises: tilting a mast of the rotor in fore and aft directions to maintain a desired rotational speed of the rotor. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein step (d) further comprises: at take-off of the aircraft, maintaining the collective pitch at a substantially constant take-off collective pitch; comparing the take-off collective pitch to the increase in actual Mu as the aircraft leaves the ground, then when the actual Mu exceeds the Mu that corresponds to the take-off collective pitch as observed on the curve, decreasing the collective pitch in accordance with at least a portion of the curve. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein step (d) further comprises decreasing the collective pitch as the Mu increases up to a selected upper level of Mu, then maintaining the collective pitch substantially constant as Mu increases beyond the selected upper level. 5. The method according to claim 4, further comprising: above the selected upper level, tilting the rotor fore and aft to maintain a selected minimum rotor RPM level, whereby tilting the rotor aft increases the rotor RPM and tilting the rotor forward decreases the rotor RPM. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the aircraft has wings that provide substantially all of the lift required for the aircraft when reaching cruise conditions, and wherein the method further comprises: prior to reaching cruise conditions and when the rotor is still providing a significant portion of lift for the aircraft, automatically tilting a mast of the rotor to maintain a desired angle of attack for the wings; and when at cruise conditions, automatically tilting a mast of the rotor in fore and aft directions to slow the rotor and maintain the rotor at a selected RPM. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein step (d) further comprises: at take-off of the aircraft, maintaining the collective pitch at a substantially constant take-off level collective pitch; and when the Mu of the rotor exceeds the take-off level collective pitch corresponding to the Mu vs collective pitch curve, decreasing the collective pitch in a selected relationship with Mu as the Mu continues to increase; then at a selected upper level of Mu, maintaining the collective pitch substantially constant as Mu increases more than said upper level. 8. A method of operating a rotor aircraft, comprising: (a) measuring the true airspeed of the aircraft; (b) measuring a rotational speed of the rotor; (c) determining a Mu of the rotor based on the true airspeed of the aircraft and the rotational speed of the rotor; (d) varying a collective pitch in relation to the Mu; and wherein: step (d) comprises determining a Mu vs collective pitch curve that limits flapping to a selected range for each Mu, programming a controller with the curve, selecting a desired take-off level collective pitch, then with the controller: determining a higher Mu level on the curve that corresponds to the take-off collective pitch, at take-off of the aircraft, maintaining the collective pitch at a substantially constant take-off level collective pitch until reaching this higher Mu level, then decreasing the collective pitch in accordance with the curve as the Mu increases beyond this higher Mu level to a selected even higher Mu level; then maintaining the collective pitch substantially constant as Mu increases more than the even higher Mu level; and controlling the tilt of the rotor fore and aft to maintain a desired minimum rotational speed of the rotor. 9. A method of operating an aircraft having a rotor, a set of wings, and a propulsion source, comprising: (a) determining a Mu vs collective pitch curve for the aircraft and programming a controller with the curve; (b) pre-rotating the rotor, operating the propulsion source, and increasing a collective pitch of the rotor to cause the aircraft to lift off and commence forward flight; (c) during the forward flight, tilting the rotor aft to cause the rotor to auto-rotate; (d) measuring a true airspeed of the aircraft; (e) measuring a rotational speed of the rotor; (f) continuously calculating a Mu of the rotor based the airspeed of the aircraft and the rotational speed of the rotor; and (g) with the controller varying the collective pitch according to at least part of the Mu vs collective pitch curve. 10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the curve of step (a) reaches a substantially constant level of collective pitch after which the controller maintains the collective pitch substantially constant as the Mu increases. 11. The method according to claim 9, wherein: the Mu vs. collective pitch curve of step (a) has a maximum collective pitch at take-off; step (b) comprises at take-off selecting a take-off collective pitch less than the maximum collective pitch defined by the Mu vs pitch curve, the take-off collective pitch corresponding to a particular Mu on the Mu vs. collective pitch curve; and step (g) comprises maintaining the selected take-off collective pitch until the actual Mu reaches the particular Mu on the Mu vs. collective pitch curve, then varying the collective pitch according to at least a portion of the curve as the Mu increases beyond the particular Mu. 12. The method according to claim 9, wherein: step (c) comprises controlling the amount of tilt of the rotor with the controller to maintain a selected minimum auto-rotational speed of the rotor. 13. The method according to claim 9, wherein the curve of step (a) is based on adjusting the collective pitch at a level versus Mu that limits flapping of the rotor to a selected range. 14. The method according to claim 9, further comprising: disabling step (g) during forward flight and manually controlling the collective pitch. 15. The method according to claim 9, wherein steps (c) and (g) are coordinated to substantially unload the rotor. 16. The method according to claim 9, wherein: the Mu vs. collective pitch curve of step (a) has a maximum collective pitch at take-off and a substantially constant minimum collective pitch that occurs at and beyond an upper level Mu; step (b) comprises at take-off selecting a take-off collective pitch less than the maximum collective pitch defined by the Mu vs pitch curve, the take-off collective pitch having a corresponding higher level Mu on the Mu vs. collective pitch curve; step (g) comprises maintaining the selected take-off collective pitch until the actual Mu reaches this higher level Mu, then varying the collective pitch according to the curve as the actual Mu exceeds this higher level Mu; and step (g) comprises maintaining the collective pitch at the minimum collective pitch after the actual Mu reaches and exceeds an even higher level Mu. 17. The method according to claim 9, further comprising, during a short roll or zero airspeed landing, with the controller controlling an increase in collective pitch in order to maintain the required lift for the aircraft.
