Description:

This technical report documents research conducted by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Eagle Flight Research Center team in Phase 2 of the Integrated Propulsion and Controls for Rotorcraft project. The purpose of this research was to build on the progress made during Phase 1 of the project. This involved developing a hardware-validated flight dynamics simulation to assess different control strategies to fly Mission Task Elements (MTEs) as well as create methodologies that may one day aid and inform specific certification testing at the vehicle level. Methodologies to compute force and moment envelopes for different vehicle configurations were developed and enabled the team to predict potential control challenges, such as situations leading to loss of control. An optimization code was created which tailored control and power outputs to optimize torque, thrust, moment, or noise footprint. A flight test campaign was conducted to characterize each novel control strategy developed within the limitations of the vehicle’s capabilities and flying environment.
