Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks Part 1: Helicopter Dynamics Development of a dynamic helicopter model as a prerequisite for flying qualities analysis and flight control system design - Introduction: Basic differences between fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft - Rotor aerodynamics in hover, vertical climb, and decent - Rotor dynamics: Blade flapping and lagging - Rotor forces in forward flight - Trim conditions - Equations of motion - Eigenmodes and stability - Dynamic coupling between airframe and rotor Part 2: Helicopter Flight Control Flight control system design based upon the helicopter model and flying qualities requirements - Functional requirements - Control laws for command and stability augmentation - Operational requirements - Configuration of flight control system
