Common Assumptions for Helicopters
1. The earth is at, stationary and therefore an approximateinertial reference frame.
2. The atmosphere is at rest relative to the ground (zero wind)
3. The Rotor head RPM is constant4. The model is only valid in near hover conditions5. The model can not be derived like previous models and must
be identied using experiments.
6. Change in mass during ight is negligible.7. The Yaw rate gyro is still in place as a very fast rate controlon Yaw and there for changes in torque because of controlinput are neglected

The Rotor head
The Rotor head of helicopterswill usually fall into twocategories the Rigid or Hingedrotor head design full scale
helicopters must use hingedsince the structural strength of the blades is too low to supportits only moment about therotor head.

The Coning Angle
As a result of the hinged rotor head or the inherent exibility of theblades the rotating disk will have an angle called the coning angle.This angle acts a little like the dihedral angle in led wing planes

The Flapping Angle
The other two signicant angles are the longitudinal and lateralapping angles. The are the result of control input from the swashplate and actuators. The angle tilts the rotor disk and changes thethrust vector relative to the center of gravity allowing translational
motion.

The Swash Plate
The swash plate is what transferscontrol input from the non rotatingbody to the rotating rotor head andybar.
the lower part is actuated by theactuators and is free to move in heightroll and pitch but not yaw as thatwould effect the phase angle where therotor head is actuated.

The Flybar
The ybar is used to dampen the control inputs for model controlsince model scale helicopters have smaller rotor inertial in the manrotor disk this type of aerodynamic gearing allows of unassistedhuman control.
