Simulation of Swashplate Motion for Virtual Martian Rotorcraft Models
Abstract
The paper considers the task for rotor swashplate motion simulation of helicopter-type aircraft in virtual environment systems. To solve this task, it is proposed an approach in which the coordinates of mechanism component parts are computed without taking into account their dynamics. When implementing this approach, the Newton-Raphson method was used to solve systems of nonlinear equations. The approbation of methods and approaches proposed in the paper was carried out in developed virtual environment complex using the example of a virtual Martian coaxial helicopter model motion simulation. Approbation results showed the adequacy and effectiveness of solutions proposed in the paper and their applicability for virtual environment systems.
