摘要
The proper manipulations after releasing a slung load for safety and for control law design assistance were studied. A helicopter slung load model was developed and validated at first. Trajectory optimization methodology was adopted to obtain the optimal time histories of controls and states after the release to stabilize the helicopter. Optimization results of different objectives were compared, and the configuration of the objective function was determined by analyzing the results. The optimal control required after the release was summarized and the effects of slung load mass variations on results were investigated. According to the results of releasing the slung load at hover, the pilot should focus on the collective stick control and longitudinal stick control, while the lateral stick control and pedal displacement could be neglected. The heavier the slung load, the larger control amplitude was required for stabilization. © 2021, Editorial Department of Journal of Aerospace Power. All right reserved.
