Note on a Method for Simulating Rotor Motion when Accelerating During Descent

抄録

To simulate the motion of a rotor while accelerating during slow descent, a simulation model that corrects errors in data obtained experimentally is developed in this paper. The effect caused by acceleration is expressed as errors in induced velocity and external thrust force, and defined by two correction factors. Best-fit correction factors that provide good approximations for experimental flight data of a bamboo dragonfly are searched and the effectiveness of the method proposed is shown.
