1 FLIGHT DYNAMICS AND CONTROL OF A ROTORCRAFT TOWING A SUBMERGED LOAD Ananth Sridharan Ph.D. Candidate Roberto Celi Professor Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center Department of Aerospace Engineering University of Maryland, College Park Presented 16 th October 2013 to the Federal Chapter of the American Helicopter Society

2 Research supported by the Army/Navy/NASA VLRCOE program Discussions with Mr. Mike Fallon, NAVAIR, and Mr. Alan Schwartz, NSWC, Carderock gratefully acknowledged

3 Outline Motivation Previous Work Outline Motivation and Objectives Previous Work Steady forward flight Tear-drop maneuver Future steps

4 Outline Motivation Previous Work Motivation and Objectives Motivation Certain naval missions require towing a submerged load along a prescribed path Hydrodynamic forces limit flight envelope: power Operating at unfamiliar attitudes: pilot fatigue Objectives Formulate a mathematical model of a helicopter towing a fully submerged body Identify means to reduce cable force, power Study behavior of helicopter-load combination during maneuvers Tow-tank model in the photograph courtesy of Dr Jaye Falls, USNA

5 Outline Motivation Previous Work State-of-the-art Surface-based towing Strandhagen (1963) Curved cable and load hydrodynamics (steady) Knutson (1991) Ship-based towing of passive load (steady) Buckham (2003) PID control of towed body (semi-submersible) Grosenbaugh (2007) Transient behavior of curved cables Helicopter-based towing Kennedy (1973) H-53 helicopter towing oil spill containment barrier Ludwig (1976) HH-3F helicopter towing hydroplaning sled consistent nose-down pitch attitude of less than -6 o leads to pilot fatigue Hong (2003) Helicopter with towed body analysis [Trim, OEI]

11 Steady Forward Flight Steady Turning Flight Tear-drop Towed body : longitudinal dynamics Sling cable D : Drag force T : Cable force T sin(θ) V T cos(θ) Towed body θ CG D As speed increases, hydrodynamic drag increases

12 Steady Forward Flight Steady Turning Flight Tear-drop Towed body : longitudinal dynamics Sling cable D : Drag force T : Cable force T sin(θ) V T cos(θ) Towed body θ CG D As speed increases, hydrodynamic drag increases T cos(θ) increases nose down pitching moment

13 Steady Forward Flight Steady Turning Flight Tear-drop Towed body : longitudinal dynamics Sling cable D : Drag force T : Cable force T sin(θ) V T cos(θ) θ CG D Towed body As speed increases, hydrodynamic drag increases T cos(θ) increases nose down pitching moment

16 Steady Forward Flight Steady Turning Flight Tear-drop Effect of cable attachment point on rotor power required Power reqd (hp) +4 inch +2 inch baseline Higher offset creates nose-down moments, hydrofoil down-force Total rotor thrust increases, power draw increases

17 Steady Forward Flight Steady Turning Flight Tear-drop Trim depth of towed body Depth (ft) Helicopter altitude Water surface Total depth depends on hydrodynamic drag and down-force (speed)

18 Steady Forward Flight Steady Turning Flight Tear-drop Varying vertical separation in forward flight θ F Water surface Utilize fin pitch angle to vary vertical separation 310 ft 280 ft 250 ft

19 Steady Forward Flight Steady Turning Flight Tear-drop Main rotor power required for various vertical separations Power reqd (hp) 310 ft Zero pitch 250 ft 280 ft Nose-up fin pitch less down-force less rotor thrust less power Smaller vertical separation for reducing power required

20 Rotorcraft Towed body Trim formulation Maneuvering flight Maneuvering flight General unsteady flight condition Computed by numerical integration of ODEs Here, use a pseudo-fcs that generates controls to minimize deviation from target trajectory LQR-based controller to track prescribed trajectory (role of pilot) Generate initial guess for optimization process Same pseudo-fcs can be used stand-alone with restrictions Gentle maneuvers (small accelerations) Speed changes during maneuver are gradual

21 Rotorcraft Towed body Trim formulation Maneuvering flight Example maneuver: tear-drop Steady turns with lead-in and leadout from forward flight Sequence of heading changes Nose-left : -Δψ Fwd. flight Left turn 0 Right turn 5 Nose right : π+2δψ Nose left : -Δψ Total : 180 o Fwd. flight 1 4 Left turn 2 3
