Abstract : "This paper discusses helicopter modelling and identification related aspects. By applying the system identification methodology, longitudinal and lateral-directional rigid body helicopter dynamics are identified from flight data. Aerodynamic parameters from single input excitation as well as multimanoeuver evaluation are estimated utilising output-error approach. The formulated mathematical models yield adequate fit to measured time histories. Results obtained from the proof-of-match for model validation indicate that the identified derivatives can satisfactorily predict longitudinal dynamics to a given arbitrary input. It is further demonstrated for the present study that lateral body dynamics can be adequately predicted by including cross-coupling terms in the estimation model." |
