Can someone help me out here. If you push forward on the cyclic, the 12 oclock position becomes lowest pitch position, and the 6 oclock becomes highest pitch (correct me if i'm wrong). So with gyroscopic precession, wouldn't that mean that the biggest angle of attack being at 6 oclock, the resultant force is 90 degrees away at the 9 oclock ... meaning it would tilt the rotor disc left? What am i missing here?
@HelicopterTrainingVideos4 жыл бұрын
Close, but 90 degrees off. :-) Push the cyclic control forward and the blade position with the lowest pitch will be about 90 degrees BEFORE the front of the helicopter (so left or right side, depending on direction of main rotor rotation) and the force will be 'felt' about 90 degrees later, causing the front of the main rotor disc to move down, tilting the lift to the front, causing the helicopter to move forward... This is a simplified version, but you get the idea I hope?
@TheodoreAndor8 жыл бұрын
gyroscopic forces is e.g. to the front with cyclic it tells the rotor 90 degrees before. sovwhat it means going forward e.g. the blade gets the instruction from swashplate 90degree before its to the front.

This video fails to point out that irrespective of the number of rotor blades on the head, the lower fixed part of the swash plate always has three control rods from the collective and cyclic control rods. This is because only three points in space are required to define a plane, i.e the angle of the swash plate. It is normally the case that fore and aft movement of the cyclic stick controls the single rod at the front of the swash plate, moving it up and down, whilst the two rods at the side remain stationary. Lateral movement of the cyclic control leaves the front rod stationary, whilst moving the side rods up and down in opposition, causing the swash plate to tilt to the left or right. There is some displacement of the input control rods from the true front and side positions to allow for gyroscopic precession effect, but it is not 90 degrees. It is less than 20 degrees, and varies on different aircraft. The swashplate is the most common method of transferring the control inputs to the rotating head, but there are other systems in use. The Westland (now Leonardo) designed Lynx and all its derivatives use a system known as an internal spider system, inside the hollow main rotor shaft. This was originally used on the Saunders Roe Skeeter in the 1950’s. The earlier Bristol Sycamore and Belvedere had a similar system with the spider above the rotor head, controlled by a linkage in the hollow rotor shaft. The Piasecki “ Flying Banana” had a different system again. Examples of all these can be seen at The Helicopter Museum at Weston Super Mare in North Somerset, England.

Flybarless is just a scaled-down replica of the mechanical system you showed in this video. The alternative, a flybar, is a mechanical stability aid used on RC-Scale helis. Generally as you scale down in size you have an effective acceleration in maneuvering dynamics, and without either electronic or mechanical stability aids the scale sized helis are extremely difficult to maintain control of.@@HelicopterTrainingVideos

The movement of the swashplate follows the controls - forward cyclic tilts the swashplate forward. The upper swashplate connects to the pitch link rods and it is how those rods connect to the blade pitch horns that puts that 90 degree compensation in.

Late reply but yes it actually is. When the blades are 90° to the helicopter (sideways like an airplane) and you push the cyclic forward, it will seem like one blade on the aeleron (roll axis) gains more lift while the other side loses lift. Without gyroscopic precession this would cause the helicopter to roll. However due to the 90° delay in a force applied to a gyroscope (the rotor itself in this case) the heli will tilt forward and in fact the cyclic will respond exactly as you'd expect though the swash acts 90° early. 😉

The swash plate is a device that allows vertical motion to be transferred to rotary motion... The cyclic and collective controls activate the lower portion (non-revolving) of the swash plate and the second part of the swash plate (rotating upper part) is connected by push/pull rods to the blades, allowing them to move the leading edge up or down thereby increasing angle of attack (like a fixed wing aircraft rotating at take-off speed) and transition from weight on skids to weight on airfoil. The cyclic dictates the "tip path plane" or shallow "dish" that has materialized from "flat" because of no weight on the airfoils to a shallow dish, because of "coning"... That happens because the tips of the blades are bending up like the wing tips of a Boeing or Airbus wing tips as the aircraft rotates, switching from weight-on-wheels to weight-on-wings. (Next time you fly, look out the window on take-off to visually understand...). At any rate, the helicopter hangs vertically, and at right angles to horizontal in a no wind condition because of gravity, below the turning disk... To transition to forward flight, side or aft flight, the tip-path--plane, through use of the cyclic, will dictate which angle from perpendicular you wish to go.... Hope this clears the waters a little.... Good flight...!

If just one of those tiny pitch links comes out of joint, your heli will turn upside down and you can kiss the world goodbye. There's no backup link. That's what I don't like about helicopters.
