Abstract:An elastic blade flight dynamics model for a coaxial helicopter based on the Sikorsky X2 Technology™ Demonstrator is presented and validated with steady trim and frequency response flight test data. A full authority explicit model following control architecture along with weighted pseudoinverse control allocation is implemented for the model in hover and cruise at 180 knots using CONDUIT® in order to stabilize the vehicle and meet a set of stability, handling qualities, and performance requirements.
