Abstract

Mathematical models of a gyroplane rotor have been carried out. Their approximateanalytical solutions have been obtained. Software allowing one to simulate and study arotor dynamics has been created. Major physical features on the forced flexibleoscillations of the rotor have been investigated. The results obtained have successfullybeen applied to design the A-002 gyroplane rotor.
