Abstract:Based on rigidbody modeling slungload hypothesis, a nonlinear dynamics model of the helicopter with slungload coupl i ng system is presented, and the rigidbody modeling slungload brings in ex tr a degrees of freedom and constraints, which makes the nonlinear equations of helic o pter motion increase from 9 orders to 19 orders. The nonlinear equations are li n earized by small perturbation hypothesis and trimmed by continuation. Then the t rimmed results are compared with the experimental data of helicopter flight and the cal culation results of helicopter with masspoint modeling slungload. The motion modes of helicopter with rigidbody modeling slung load hypothesis are calculated with difference method, and the impacton stabili ty of helicopter by extra slungload is analyzed at the same time. Results sho w that the rigidslungload adds five new motion modes to the system, two of wh i ch about sling swinging are stable, three of which about slungload attitude mot i on are unstable. Meanwhile, the introduction of slungload makes the sh o r t period mode and the roll mode of helicopter unstable, which has a strong impac t on the flight quality of helicopter.
