Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an optimization method for yaw control of a rotorcraft and a device for implementing the method.
[0002] The technical field of the invention is that of rotorcraft design.
[0003] The invention more particularly relates to an optimized method for controlling the yaw of a helicopter having a main rotor and a rear rotor or tail rotor by varying the collective pitch of the tail rotor blades. Background technique
[0004] Helicopter lift is provided by the main rotor through its collective pitch position. In this application, unless otherwise specified, the term "collective pitch" refers to the collective pitch of the main rotor blades.
[0005] In collective pitch control the collective pitch of the main rotor blades is measured; this control is caused by a command exerted by the pilot on the collective pitch control element, but this command can also be performed by an autopilot type device as a function of other parameters ...
