Enhanced energy maneuverability for attack helicopters using continuous, variable rotor speed control

The results of this research indicate that continuous, variable rotor speed control is a viable solution to increased helicopter maneuverability and agility. Of the rotor speed control laws investigated, the RCDR and T (RC) types seem the most promising. In particular, these control laws demons...
