description The main focus of this article is on the jump-takeoff method for autogyros. On the basis of a high-confidence autogyro model, we design a jump-takeoff simulation experiment to study and optimize jump-takeoff performance. Using a simplified version of blade element theory, we conduct secondary development on the YASim dynamics library in FlightGear software and construct a highly accurate auto-rotation rotor model. The implementation of jump-takeoff requires appropriate control parameters for collective angle and pre-rotation speed. We explore the minimum collective angle condition and minimum pre-rotation speed condition to obtain the jump-takeoff envelope, and we investigate the effect of changes in control parameters within the jump envelope on jump-takeoff performance. Furthermore, we optimize the jump-takeoff performance by varying the rotor diameter and blade tip weighting. Through this study of jump-takeoff performance, we are able to determine appropriate control parameters and rotor parameters for jump-takeoff schemes, establish parameter settings for simulations of jump-takeoff tests, and thereby lay the foundation for future experimental investigations of jump-takeoff of actual autogyros.
