I think I spend 3-4 minutes explaining this in the video…

[@jeffreychen1191]

​@@FoundAndExplained You didn't explain it terribly well and certainly didn't spend 3 to 4 minutes on it. You brushed it up to a few sentence of a) the rotors being aligned to "avoid the influence of torque on the fuselage" (which isn't the most technically correct language) or b) each rotor changing speeds depending on the flightpath. a. implies that the rotors are tilted in such a way that they each produce a sidewards component to counteract their torque such that the net torque is 0. Probably better if you explained this instead of leaving the user to infer this, and it's still ambigous whether it was just the front rotor that was tilted sidewards or all rotors. b. makes 0 physical sense and does not counteract any torque at all. All the rotors are producing torque in the same direction, so reducing the speed of a rotor will only reduce the net torque, not counteract it. Furthermore, a slowed RPM will mean less lift, and to prevent uncommanded roll or pitch due to said rotor producing less lift now, the collective / blade pitch on that rotor will have to be increased, meaning more drag and more power required to spin that rotor, increasing it's torque back up, which means in the end nothing is achieved. So the provided explanation doesn't make sense and even as an aerospace engineer I have trouble figuring out what you might have misinterpreted, let alone the average viewer... Otherwise cool video though.

VTOL doritos with hole

[@mariebcfhs9491]

Well, a tri-rotor is actually very stable and easy to control. Differential collective pitch for pitching and rolling, and yawing can be achive by tilting all three rotors (through cyclic controll) in a circle. For example, here is how it performs a coordinated turn to port side: -Lowers collective pitch on the port rotor, increase on the starboard to perform a roll to port. -Cyclic pitch tilting the bow rotor to port, the port rotor aft, the starboard rotor forward, yawing the craft to port. In level flight a tiny yaw control (cyclic pitching in a circle) can be used to cancel out the torque of all three engines. But, a tri-rotor will suffer from dissymmetry of lift and the accompanying speed limit. Since roll control cyclic is still required on all three rotors to compensate for advancing-retreating blade lift during forward flight, this input is however smaller compared to single rotor crafts, thanks to the balancing action of having a port and a starboard rotor. So it is more like the P-factor on propeller planes.

[@ricbarker4829]

With regards to the Chinook "the ability to adjust lift in either rotor makes it less sensitive to changes in the c of g". I don't think the pilot can adjust the collective of either rotor as such. I think what you are referring to is the CH-47's Differential Collective Thrust (DCT). Longitudinal control of tandem rotor helicopters is accomplished by differential thrust (collective pitch) of the forward and aft rotors creating pitch attitude changes of the fuselage about its lateral axis. (a) Forward cyclic input decreases thrust (collective pitch) in the forward rotor system and increases thrust on the aft rotor system causing the aircraft to pitch nose down and increase airspeed. (b) Aft cyclic input increases the thrust on the forward rotor and decreases thrust on the aft rotor system causing the aircraft to pitch nose up and decrease airspeed. So it is not something the pilot can adjust, but rather an automatic by product of forward and rearward application of the cyclic.

Like the V-22, I think a major issue with this airframe would be, "Settling with Power". For those who are not helo-bubbas, settling with power is when a rotor or VTOL capable aircraft falls into it's own vortex ring state. When this happens to a VTOL aircraft with multiple lift points, the aircraft can flip itself when one rotor lift-point no longer creats lift. With single rotor lift, it's very recognizable when entering into Settling with Power, and to take immediate steps to easily fly out out of the situation. But large multi point lift aircraft such as this will not recognize the issue, and may flip quickly. Conclusion: Not a good design. This all being said, the V-22 has developed and requires specialized training to avoid flying into negative flight envelopes. Additionally, a better design might be to integrate the rotors in between each other like the CH-46/47. This would better balance the lift points.
