Helicopter Roll-Axis Instabilities induced by Pilot Cyclic Control: A Physical Explanation

The main objective of this paper is to give a basic understanding of the mechanisms through which pilot cyclic inputs in lateral cyclic interacts with high-order rotor dynamics destabilizing the helicopter roll motion. The paper will use a “Newtonian formulation” representing the main forces acting...
