Abstract
Aerodynamic modelling currently relates to development of mathematical models to describe the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the aircraft. It is a challenging part of aerodynamics that defines a comprehensive approach to using traditional methods and modern techniques to obtain relevant data. The most complicated task for the aerodynamics and flight dynamics is definition, computation and quantification of the aerodynamic description of an object. This paper presents how to determine the aerodynamic load on a gyrocopter and defines the effect on its stability and control. The first step to solution is to develop simpler approximate aerodynamic model - a model that can be used in analysis of aerodynamic load and can represent the aerodynamic properties of the gyrocopter with an acceptable degree of accuracy. Control and stability are very important parts of aircraft characteristics and therefore those characteristics were analyzed in simulation. Finally, the aerodynamic data outputs are assessed in terms of impact of aerodynamic loads on stability and control of the gyrocopter model.
Highlights
An aircraft is a device that, using aerodynamic properties, can perform a flight in the atmosphere
The aerodynamic movement is an indispensable element without which the flight cannot take place
The impeller is not driven by the engine but rotates thanks to the autorotation of the rotorcraft relative to the air resulting from the progressive movement of the propeller
Summary
An aircraft is a device that, using aerodynamic properties, can perform a flight in the atmosphere. Considering the principle of operation, based on which the flight is performed, aircrafts can be divided into aerostats and aerodynes. In the case of an aerostat, movement relative to the centre is not necessary. It is created in accordance with the Archimedes principle, thanks to which a load-bearing force that balances the weight is created. Gyroplane - an aircraft heavier than air (aerodyne), from the rotorcraft family, equipped by a carrying rotor and a propeller (pushing or pulling). The impeller is not driven by the engine but rotates thanks to the autorotation of the rotorcraft relative to the air resulting from the progressive movement of the propeller
