QUESTION:

It has been shown (Pounds, 2011) that an unloaded UAV helicopter is closed-loop stable and will have a characteristic equation given by

\(\begin{aligned} & s^3+\left(\frac{m g h}{I}\left(q_2+k k_d\right)+q_1 g\right) s^2 \\ & +k \frac{m g h}{I} s+\frac{m g h}{I}\left(k k_i+q_1\right)=0 \end{aligned}\)

where m is the mass of the helicopter, g is the gravitational constant, I is the rotational inertia of the helicopter, h is the height of the rotor plane above the center of gravity, \(q_1\) and \(q_2\) are stabilizer flapping parameters, \(k, k_i\), and \(k_d\) are controller parameters; all constants >0. The UAV is supposed to pick up a payload; when this occurs, the mass, height, and inertia change to \(m^{\prime}, h^{\prime}\), and \(I^{\prime}\), respectively, all still >0. Show that the helicopter will remain stable as long as

\(\frac{m^{\prime} g h^{\prime}}{I^{\prime}}>\frac{q_1+k k_i-q_1 g k}{k\left(q_2+k k_d\right)}\)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

An unloaded UAV helicopter is closed loop stable and have characteristic equation,

Where, mass of helicopter,  gravitation constant,  height of the robot,  = rotational inertia of helicopter,  and  stabilizer flapping parameters,  and  controller parameters.

we need to prove that helicopter will remain stable as long as,
