Abstract
The control displacements required for a helicopter to fly a defined manoeuvre may be calculated by inverse solution of the vehicle's equations of motion. A computer package, HELINV, has been developed to perform such solutions for a series of nap-of-the-earth (NOE) manoeuvres. The algorithm, described in this paper, uses a six degrees of freedom nonlinear mathematical model which allows solutions to be found for various helicopter configurations flying a wide range of manoeuvres. Some typical results are presented, along with a discussion of the limitations and potential applicability of the algorithm.
