Abstract:Helicopter sling load is the most accurate form of aerial delivery in the military due to the ability to air-land materiel in an exact location; however, some missions have a tendency for the payloads to become unstable due to both pilot-in-the-loop and aerodynamic effects. Past research
demonstrated that allowing the container to rotate freely in yaw stabilizes pendulum motions. Other research utilized rigid fins affixed to the rear of the container. These methods work during tests; however, they become diff… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
